Biochemistry is science concerned with the
chemistry of living organisms, the structure
nd reactions of proteins, nucleic acids,
carbohydrates, and lipids. Its study has led
to an increased understanding of life
processes, such as those by which organisms
synthesize essential chemicals from food
materials, store and generate energy, and
pass on their characteristics through their
genetic material. A great deal of medical
research is concerned with the ways in which
these processes are disrupted. Biochemistry
also has applications in agriculture and in
the food industry.
