Because it integrates ideas from both chemistry and biology, biochemistry is a very important discipline. So, it employs and integrates a wide range of strategies and procedures that bridge those two domains. Biology, on the other side, is a study of increasing levels of organization, from molecules as well as atoms through cells, tissues, and organs. Like Chemistry, Biology is a fundamental scientific discipline since it elucidates how living things function by dissecting their constituent parts. However, biology alone cannot provide a complete explanation for the many processes occurring in every living being. Carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur are the elements that make up 98% of all biological stuff on Earth. There's little doubt that chemistry will aid in our quest to learn about the peculiarities of the elements themselves, but what happens when these atoms combine or break apart? It is in the situation that the atoms remain connected with each other that different kinds of biological molecules emerge (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids). Given that the aforementioned atoms interact with one another, it stands to reason that the biological molecules they produce do so as well. Numerous processes involving interactions between biological molecules take place in a live body. In addition, a vast range of chemical events occur inside a cell to maintain a living creature. Thus, it is safe to say that biochemistry constitutes the basis of all life on Earth.
