    Biochemistry has proven to be helpful in many ways. Biochemists have found cures to many diseases, and they have found better ways to cultivate crops to make them disease resistant. These are not the only things biochemists have done for us, but they are just a few of the many things. A lot of people do not know what biochemistry is, or why it is so important. This paper serves to inform people about why biochemistry is important, along with some other information about it. Biochemistry has been

    Biochemistry plays a vital role in the everyday life of everything natural and mechanical. Throughout the course, we gained an understanding of why having four stable covalent bonds that bond readily to elements makes carbon qualified to be the foundation of sustainable life. With this fundamental principle in mind, we continued learning by understanding the essentials of water. Water is amphipathic, so when participating in reactions water can either hydrolyze or condense the reaction. For example

    The career I want to major in is Biochemistry, due to the fact that I love anything relating to living cells and organisms. In school my performances in Math, Biology, and Chemistry were always high. Therefore I wanted to thrive toward a major that factored in all the subjects I was best at in school. Biochemistry pursuits all of my skills and passion that I have for science, thus I anticipated that it’d be a great fit for my future. Biochemist study the chemical, physical, electrical, and mechanical

    Biochemistry can be defined as the science of Biology and Chemistry combined. When people hear the scientific term of Biology, they know that it is the study of life. However, when people hear the scientific term of Chemistry, it can be defined as the study of interaction along with the study of matter. “Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organism” (“What is Biochemistry”1). Biochemistry is the major for people who have an interest

    by studying how complex chemical reactions and chemical structures give rise to life and life's processes. Their work includes studying the complex chemical combinations and reactions involved in metabolism, reproduction, growth, and heredity. Biochemistry is sometimes viewed as a hybrid branch of organic chemistry which specializes in the chemical processes and chemical transformations that take place inside of living organisms, yet the reality of the situation is that the investigation of natural

    Structure and function of macromolecules within a living organism ‘Some biological molecules in organisms are small and simple containing only one or a few functional groups, others are large, complex assemblies called macromolecules’ [1]. The term macromolecule is convenient because the bulk properties of a macromolecule differ from those of smaller molecules. These large chemical compounds have a high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent

    achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses – despite its importance in developing a generation of interdependent, innovative, and responsible leaders – is often difficult to accomplish (Abbas, 2017). Chemistry and biochemistry departments experience this dilemma firsthand; much of the curriculum relies on students’ successful comprehension of visual representations of concepts, such as three-dimensional models (Mnguni, Schönborn, & Anderson, 2016). This is hindered
