Course description

Biomolecules are essential organic molecules that form the basis of life, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. They play a crucial role in cellular functions, metabolism, and genetic information transfer. Understanding biomolecules helps in various fields such as medicine, biotechnology, and biochemistry. Their structure and function determine the biological processes that sustain life.
