Biochemistry is the science concerned with the chemical
basis of life.
Study of Biomolecules:
* Structures
* Functions
* Transformations & energetic changes associated with them in the course of the activitieThe cell is the structural unit of living systems
Elements
Monomers
Polymers
Organelles
Cells
Tissues
Organs
Organism
s of living organisms
The main objective of Biochemistry is to understand life processes at the molecular level.
It investigates components of cells---their chemical structure, function & location within the cell.
This involves synthesis, degradation, metabolic interactions & regulation

Biochemistry requires sound knowledge of the basic sciences:
Math.
Physics
Chemistry
Biochemistry is an experimental subject ; it utilizes techniques of modern analytical chemistry: chromatography, electrophoresis,
isotopes, spectral methods, centrifugation, X-ray analysis & electron microscopy.
Biology
The study of Biochemistry encompasses areas of :
Cell Biology-----Molecular Biology
Molecular Genetics----Physiology
Microbiology------------Pathology
Nutrition------------Pharmacology
Toxicology-----------Immunology
Medicine
