Objectives |
|
There are many kinds of substances inside living cells, and these substances react with each other in order to create energy, to produce required materials, and to transfer information to the nucleus from the outer world, and so on. Life is constructed of the compilation of all of these reactions. The objective of learning biochemistry is to understand the biological systems in terms of chemistry i.e. at the molecular level. In the course of Fundamentals of Biochemistry, Students can learn the basics of biochemistry.
