INTRODUCTION
- All living things are made up of certain chemical compounds that are broadly classified as organic and inorganic compounds.
- The organic compounds encompass the biological molecules present in the living system.
BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES:
Biological molecules or biomolecules is a broad term used for representing the molecules or ions present in a living system that take part in the chemical processes carried out by the living systems.
BRANCHES:
The study of biological molecules is carried out by correlating Molecular biology with Biochemistry.
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY:
It is the branch of biology in which we study the structure and functions of biological molecules along with molecular synthesis, modifications, mechanisms, and interactions.
BIOCHEMISTRY:
Biochemistry is a sub-discipline which deals with the study of chemical processes occurring within and related to living organisms.
TYPES OF BIOMOLECULES:
There are four main types of biological molecules
