Question 1
pts
What are three ways that biochemists study biological organisms?
Your Answer:
Biochemist study biological organisms through
1. Structure
2. Function
3. Biomolecules
Biochemists study 1) the relationship between structure and
function of biomolecules, 2) chemical reactions of organisms
(metabolism), and 3) communication within and among organisms.
