Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms.
Biochemical processes give rise to the complexity of life.
For instance, in every living cell, there is a crucial biological process, called respiration. This process is the conversion of glucose into a useful form of energy, which is ATP(adenosine triphosphate). The study of biochemistry uncovers the numerous chemical processes involved in converting glucose into carbon dioxide and water.
