Biochemistry for Dummies

Alright, so biochemistry is basically the study of chemical processes within and related to living organisms. This means we are looking at how different chemical reactions and substances work inside our bodies and the bodies of other living things. For example, we can look at how our cells function, how our food is turned into energy, and how different substances like hormones and enzymes work in our bodies. It’s like looking at the tiny little building blocks that make up all living things, and how they interact and work together to keep things running smoothly. Just like how a car needs fuel, oil, and other fluids to keep running, our bodies also need specific chemicals and reactions to stay healthy and working properly. So, biochemistry is like studying the instruction manual for how our bodies work on a molecular level. It’s super fascinating and helps us understand ourselves and other living things better. And that’s what biochemistry is all about!
