What are Biochemistry and Biophysics?
Biochemistry and biophysics are disciplines in the field of science which relate to the study of organisms. Specifically, biochemistry and biophysics study the biological structure and systems of living beings, both large and small. Each organism is comprised of a number of different parts, with its own function and organizational form. Most notable is the fact that biochemistry and biophysics relate to every living thing on the planet. Biochemistry itself focuses heavily on the chemical processes within the organisms. The science deals with cellular components and biomolecules including carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins. Each of these molecules within the cell are complex and feature both large forms, called polymers, and subunits, known as monomers. The science studies the chemical reactions present within the cell and how the biomolecules interact. One of the most notable examples are enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the process of increasing activity within the cell.
