Biochemistry

Biochemistry is a new branch of science. It is a combination of biology and chemistry in which we wanted to know the life process in the process of biology with the chemical reaction. Biochemistry become as a separate discipline when scientists combined biology with organic, inorganic or physical chemistry and began to study such topics as how living things obtain energy from food, the chemical basis of heredity, and what fundamental changes occur in disease. Biochemistry is applied to medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine. With the help of this branch of science we can study of biological process as growth metabolism and heredity etc.
