This document discusses the importance of biochemistry in various fields including medicine, nursing, food industry, nutrition, and pharmacy. It explains that biochemistry guides drug discovery and application by describing how drugs react in the human body. It also discusses how biochemistry helps understand disease pathology and hormonal imbalances through biochemical changes. Biochemistry is important for determining nutrient values of foods and understanding how water, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids are necessary for health maintenance.

2. STUDY OF THE
STRUCTURE, COMPOSITION, AND CHEMICAL
REACTIONS OF SUBSTANCES IN LIVING
SYSTEMS
BIOLOGY CHEMISTRY
BIOCHEMISTR
Y

3. BIOCHEMISTRY
ORIGIN
FORMATION
DESCRIBE FUNCTION
DEFICIENCY
SYMPTOMS
ENZIMES, CARBOHIDRATES, PROTEINS, DNA, RNA
, etc

4. IT TRIES TO EXPLAIN LIFE IN TERMS OF BIO CHEMICAL
REACTIONS
INCLUDES OTHERS SCIENCES AS
ANATOMY, MEDICINE, AGRICULTURE, PHARMACY, etc

5. IMPORTANCE OF BIOCHEMISTRY
IN MEDICINE

6. The European Federation for
Medicinal Chemistry says
the biochemistry is a guide to drug
discovery and for its application
for example the morphine is a drug that
reduce the pain in terminal cáncer

7. the biochemistry helps us understand The pathology of any
the biochemical changes and related disease is studied
physiological alteration in the body through biochemical
changes

8. in the present scenario many people
rely in taking multivitamin and minerals
for better health
the function and role of the vitamins
is described only by biochemistry

9. there are many disorders due
to hormonal imbalance in
specially women and children
the formation of hormones in the normal
body function is taught in biochemistry by
which the physician can understand the
concerned problem during treatment

10. Importance of biochemistry in Nursing
Biochemistry is of great use
within the field of
nursing, with many practical
applications that can assist
you in becoming a better
nurse..

11. Using biochemistry can be helpful
Knowing the chemical in the nursing profession, allowing
reactions of drugs to nurses to determine how much
the human body and medicine should be prescribed or
mixing said drugs given to each patient they
encounter

13. The influence exercised by
the environment is reflected
both in morphological
structure, and chemical
structure of organisms.
Organic matter is
formed, transformed and is
degraded in any living
organism (plant, animal or
microorganism).

14. Biochemical processes play an
important role in many
branches of food industry and
especially in the process of
processing raw materials, plant
or animal kind. Another
example are the enzymes
involved in various processes
which help to improve crops

15. IMPORTANCE OF
BIOCHEMISTRY IN NUTRITION
For a maintenance of health
WATER IS NECESSARY
Optimum intake of many
chemicals
like
vitamins, minerals, es
sential fatty acids

16. The nutrients value of food material
can
also
Be determined by
biochemical tests

17. IMPORTANCE OF BIOCHEMISTRY IN PHARMACY
Gives an idea of its
constitution
Its change of degradation
with varying temperature
DRUGS
how drugs are metabolized
by biochemical reactions in
presence of enzymes
