Biochemical Pathways

Biochemical pathways are series of chemical reactions within living organisms that work together to sustain life. These pathways involve molecules called enzymes that help transform nutrients into energy, build necessary compounds, or break down waste. For example, when you eat, your body processes food through pathways that extract energy and create building blocks for growth and repair. Think of them as a well-orchestrated assembly line and recycling system running inside cells, ensuring each process occurs efficiently and in the right order to keep you alive and healthy.
