FIRST THING FIRST
What is Biochemistry and who is a Biochemist ?
![Page 4: FUTURE PROSPECTS OF A BIOCHEMIST](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061610/58ec88d01a28abea648b472d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A Biochemist is someone who has been formally trained in the knowledge and practice of biochemistry

SO,WHAT IS BIOCHEMISTRY
![Page 6: FUTURE PROSPECTS OF A BIOCHEMIST](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061610/58ec88d01a28abea648b472d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Biochemistry is the chemistry of life
An aspect of science that studies the chemical processes that take place inside all living things, from bacteria to plants and animals at the cellular and molecular level.
It is a laboratory based science that utilizes the knowledge of biology, physiology and chemistry to understand and solve biological problems.
It is the bedrock and nucleus (life wire) of other life sciences including medicine, pharmacology, Pharmaceutical chemistry, microbiology, zoology and botany etc
