1. What is Biochemistry?
In my own understanding,Biochemistry is the study of the chemical
processes within biology, example movement, respiration, protein production,
DNA replication, metabolism, pathogenicity and many more. Biochemical
process are what underpin all of life. So it involves how these processes work
on a molecular level - example, how proteins interact with each other, how
DNA sequences affect function and how small molecules are transported to
name a few. It is a very broad field, so a good field to work in as it's
reasonably easy to change topic within biochemistry. Biochemistry it is one of
the branch of science concerned with the chemical and physicochemical
processes and substances that occur within living organisms. Biochemistry
focuses on processes happening at a molecular level. It focuses on what's
happening inside our cells, studying components like proteins, lipids and
organelles.
It also looks at how cells communicate with each other, for example during
growth or fighting illness. Also Biochemistry is the application of chemistry to
the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. It
emerged as a distinct discipline around the beginning of the 20th century
when scientists combined chemistry, physiology, and biology to investigate
the chemistry of living systems.Since the area of biochemistry is so broad, it is
a good one to work in because it is relatively simple to switch topics. One area
of study that deals with the chemical and physical processes and materials
found in living things is called biochemistry. The focus of biochemistry is on
molecular-level events. It focuses on internal cellular processes, looking at
elements including proteins, lipids, and organelles. Additionally, it examines
how cells interact with one another, for instance, when growing or fending off
disease. Biochemistry, on the other hand, is the study of biological processes
at the cellular and molecular level through the application of chemistry.
Around the turn of the 20th century, scientists united chemistry, physiology,
and biology to form a new science.

The study of chemical processes in living organisms, including but not limited
to living matter, is known as biochemistry. All living organisms and processes
are governed by biochemistry. Biochemical processes give rise to life's
incredible complexity by controlling information flow via biochemical signaling
and chemical energy flow via metabolism. Biochemistry became so
successful at explaining living processes in the last decades of the twentieth
century that it is now used in almost all areas of the life sciences, from botany
to medicine to genetics. Today, the primary focus of pure biochemistry is on
understanding how biological molecules give rise to the processes that occur
within living cells, which is closely related to the study and comprehension of
whole organisms. The study of chemical processes in living organisms,

2. An introduction of biochemistry
The study of chemical reactions in living things, including but not restricted
to living matter, is known as biochemistry. All live things and living activities
are governed by biochemistry. Biochemical processes enable the amazing
complexity of life by regulating the flow of information through biochemical
signaling and the flow of chemical energy through metabolism. And there are
8 Major Branches of Biochemistry. This are the Molecular biology, Genetics,
Biochemistry of proteins, Biochemistry of DNA, Biochemistry of
carbohydrates, Biochemistry of lipids, Biochemistry of hormones, and
Biochemistry of the cell nucleus. Biochemical research is now being
conducted in almost all areas of the life sciences, including botany, medicine,
and genetics. In the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry became so
successful at explaining living processes. Pure biochemistry is now primarily
concerned with understanding how biological molecules initiate the processes
that take place within live cells, which has significant implications for the study
and comprehension of complete organisms. As its name suggests,
biochemistry is a combination of two different sciences: biology, which studies
living things, and chemistry, which studies atoms and molecules. As a result,
biochemistry studies the atoms and molecules that make up living things. Its
focus is on the chemical structures and reactions that take place in biological
systems, which extends to all living things. And biochemistry found throughout
all fields of science, medicine, and agriculture. In unseen ways, biochemistry
underpins daily life. For instance, uses medication to reduce his serum
cholesterol. A pharmaceutical company's biochemists created that medication
to block a crucial enzyme involved in cholesterol manufacturing.

3. How biochemistry related in our daily life?

Bio chem related to our life because we are also a human being with life
we breathe air. And everything that is in biochemistry is related to outlives, all
the creations with life on earth are under biological things. The impact of
biochemistry has been most visible in the medical and pharmaceutical
industries. However, biochemistry is important in everyday life, influencing
everything from retail, food, cosmetics, and fashion to healthcare.
Biochemistry has played a role in the development of many everyday
products and processes. These include the development and refinement of
medical products, cleaning products, and DNA recombination technology,
which can be used to produce important molecules such as insulin and food
additives. Biochemical and binocular knowledge has also aided the quality
and quantity of food production through improved agrochemical, the
development of crops with improved pest and disease resistance, and the
preparation of foods that improve human health, such as pre- and pro-biotics
and antioxidants. Applications of Biochemistry: Agriculture and Food
Increasingly, the global food system is under strain, with an increase in the
prevalence of polarised obesity and poverty, and increased dependence on
chemical fertilizer and pesticides, poor quality foods, environmental
degradation, and the loss of biodiversity. As such, many practices are being
revised and regenerated. These practices are informed by biochemistry.

Biochemistry is used to enhance plant growth, yield, and quality as a

consequence of optimizing fertilizer components. Crop improvement has also
been improved by way of increased tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses,
alongside augmented nutritional value. With knowledge of the mechanism of
action of fertilizers, such as nitrates, the use of fertilizer can be optimized to
improve plant growth quality. An example of this is the increasing use of
biochemical fertilizers including nitrogen fixes, phosphorus potassium, sulfur
solubilizers, and various fungi such as mycorrhiza, and Trichoderma, as well
as small molecular iron chelators called siderophores that are produced by
microbes. This is thought to ameliorate the effect of intense use of chemical
fertilizers, which cause water contamination, depleted nutrients, and soul
deterioration. Biochemistry plays an important role in nutrition and health and
is considered to be a powerful unsustainable tool for the improvement of
health, reduction of poverty, and hunger in the world. Through the use of
sustainable biochemistry, the commercialization of biochemical techniques is
considered to be a powerful way of reducing brook global poverty and hunger
and improving nutritional delivery across the world. Applications of
Biochemistry in Nutrition The most notable way in which biochemistry has
affected nutrition is through crop improvement using several biochemically-
informed techniques. Since 1996, genetically modified crop varieties have
been developed through the introduction of genes or genetic elements with
desirable functions. Despite concerns, genome editing tools have recently
emerged as a new form of technology and have been successfully used to
modify crop genomes without evidencing the use of foreign gene introduction
across a variety of species. . Biochemistry is also applied in the context of
food contamination, with biochemistry aiding in determining detailed food
chemistry. Related to this, biochemistry is essential in nutrient value tests,
which can define the percentage or concentrations of nutrients in various
types of foods consumed.
