Biochemistry:
It is a branch of biology, which is consist of chemical components and chemical processes in living things. it is very important for understanding anatomy and physiology, because all of the structure of living organisms are result of biochemical reactions i.g, photosynthesis, digestion, respiration, muscle contractions can all be explained by biochemical terms.
Organic compound:
Any molecule containing carbon and hydrogen.Most important organic compounds in living organisms are carbohydrate, protein, lipids and nucleic acid.
Inorganic compounds:
They do not contain carbon and hydrogen together in a molecule i.g carbon di oxide, water etc.
Metabolisms:
Sum of all reaction taking place within the cell.
Type of metabolic reactions:
1: Anabolic reaction:
Those reaction in which simpler substance combine to form complex substance.in this reaction energy is required.
2: Catabolic reaction:
Those reaction in which complex substance break down into simpler ones. in this reaction energy is released.
Coordination of catabolic and anabolic reactions
Explanation:
In living cells anabolic and catabolic reaction go side by side. simpler molecule combine to form complex molecule and complex molecule broken down into simpler one. In other words anabolic and catabolic reactions are coordinated.The inter conversion of carbohydrates, protein and lipids contentiously occur in living cells.
