All biological processes around us and within us are a series of chemical reactions. The field of biochemistry delves deep into these processes and helps unravel the mysteries of life. So what is biochemistry used for? This course answers this question in more ways than one. We first outline the influence of biochemistry on our surroundings and explore introductory chemistry and the role and properties of biomolecules.What are the functions of biomolecules? We answer this question and show you how to appreciate the energetic details underlying biological processes. We examine the interrelations that occur as energy is exchanged for equilibrium before discussing the biology of different diseases. This biochemistry course also covers specific aspects of the fascinating blood and oxygen transport system to help you gain an understanding of bioenergetics.Finally we explain how medications interact with our bodies in our pharmacology section. We delve into various aspects of antibiotic or antiviral drug action to help you understand the practical healthcare applications of this discipline. Biochemistry is widely applied in medicine pharmacy agriculture forensics and environmental sciences. This course suits students and professionals associated with such fields. Sign up to learn the basics of biochemistry and explore the building blocks of life.
