The overall goal of biochemistry is to describe life’s processes using the language of molecules, that is, applying the principles ,fundamentals, and methods of chemistry to determine molecular structure from which it is often possible to explain biological function.

Living cell contains thousands of organic and inorganic chemicals, many of them large molecules called macromolecules.

All biological processes, result from how molecules act and, sometimes, misbehave.(why biology and chemistry are prerequisite).
