Biochemistry

The video introduces biochemistry as the study of chemical processes in living organisms, focusing on metabolism, which is the conversion of food into energy. It highlights examples like breathing and photosynthesis, and discusses biochemistry's impact on fields such as medicine and environmental balance. The video concludes by prompting viewers to consider how biochemistry might affect human life expectancy.
