    This document summarizes biochemistry and cell biology. It discusses the three principal areas of biochemistry: structural chemistry of living matter components and their relationship to function; metabolism or chemical reactions in living things; and biological information storage and transmission. It also compares prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, noting that prokaryotes like bacteria lack a nucleus and internal compartments while eukaryotes have a true nucleus and organelles within membrane-bound compartments.

    Biochemistry study of life at molecular basis

    Three principal areas of biochemistry:


    1. The structural chemistry of the components of living matter and the
    relationship of biological function to chemical structure.
    2. Metabolism, the totality of chemical reactions that occur in living matter.
    3. The chemistry of processes and substances that store and transmit biological
    information.
    CELL It is the basic structural unit of life.
