Biological and biochemical foundations

Biological and biochemical foundations refer to the basic physical and chemical processes that support life. Biology studies living organisms, their structures, functions, and interactions, while biochemistry focuses on the chemical substances and reactions within cells that enable life processes. Together, they explain how cells grow, produce energy, reproduce, and respond to their environment by understanding the molecules—like proteins, fats, and DNA—that form the foundation of all living things. This knowledge helps us understand health, disease, and development at a fundamental level.
