Biochemistry provides an understanding of pathological states and is the basis for effective therapies like cancer treatments. Biochemical techniques can detect microorganisms and understand molecular tendencies in medicine. Biochemistry also compares what is missing in the body and how to replace it. It is important for understanding how drugs function and how diseases operate at a cellular level so targeted treatments can be designed.

IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
It is important to understand biochemistry in order
to understand drugs function
many drugs exert their influence by
example altering cell chemistry, or

8. IMPORTANCE IN TREATMENT
OF CANCER
many diseases, such as cancer, can be described in terms of
biochemical changes in the cell
