Biochemistry deals with the study of chemistry of life and living processes. The scope of biochemistry is vast, as it is relevant to every aspect of life from birth to death. Biochemistry is important for understanding the basic knowledge of how biomolecules and their metabolism are essential for survival, development, and growth. It also allows for understanding the mechanisms of disease development and conducting biochemical laboratory tests.

Definition, Scope & Importance
of Biochemistry in
Health Science

2. Definition
 Biochemistry deals with the study of chemistry of life
and living process.
 The name Biochemistry was introduced by Carl
Neuberg in 1903.

3. Scope
 The scope of biochemistry is as huge as life
itself.
 Every aspect of life birth, growth,
reproduction, age and death involves
biochemistry.

4. Importance of Biochemistry
 To understand
 Basic knowledge of Biochemistry and its application
in Medical science.
 The role of non-living matters for development,
growth and death of biological system.
 The role of biomolecules and their metabolism for
survival of life.
 The basic skill to conduct biochemical and
immunological laboratory test.
 The mechanism of developing disease.
 And analyze the problem developed during analysis,
understanding and controlling disease.
