Advantages And Disadvantages Of Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study or research of the molecules and chemical reactions of life. It studies the processes that cause life, growth and death happens around us. That is why the knowledge in biochemistry is required in extensive fields of study in biology of life. As we know, biochemistry is the sector of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. This study is a laboratory based science that brings together biology and chemistry into one study. The biochemists can understand, solve and even explain the biological problems that can’t be explained by normal people by using the right chemical knowledge and techniques. [1] The term biochemistry, which is the chemistry of life or the study of the processes behind all living organisms, was first coined in

Biochemistry had been studied and the word possibly used within the scientific community longer than 1903 in projects such as alcoholic fermentation, discovered by Eduard Buchner in 1896. This study is a prime example of the chemical processes that occur to either create a new compound or allow an organism to survive. [2] The study of biochemistry in a developing country suffers from many serious disadvantages. The shortage of teachers, laboratory facilities and good libraries are among what one might call physical disadvantages. However, the worst of these are the psychological disadvantages of both students and teachers in such matters as attitude, motivation and morale. Obviously the physical shortages contribute towards aggravation of the psychological disadvantages, but human factors seem to play a more decisive role. It is not difficult to find examples in developing countries, or even developed ones for that matter, where physical facilities are not limiting for good biochemical education, and yet the spirit is not
