Biochemistry

Real World Example

Imagine when you're making a sandwich, and you realize you need to understand how each ingredient contributes to the overall taste. Just like you analyze each ingredient's role in making a delicious sandwich, biochemistry examines how different molecules work together to sustain life. Just as the bread, fillings, and condiments combine to create a complete meal, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids interact in living organisms to perform essential functions, helping us understand the chemistry of living things.
