Biochemistry
Linked via "lipids"
Biochemistry is the fundamental discipline situated at the intersection of biology and chemistry, concerned with the chemical substances and vital processes occurring within living organisms. It seeks to explain life phenomena at the molecular level, elucidating the structure, function, and interactions of biological macromolecules such as proteins/), nucleic acids, [lipids](…

Lipids and Membranes
Lipids encompass a heterogeneous group of hydrophobic molecules, including fatty acids, triglycerides, and steroids. Their defining characteristic is their insolubility in water, which drives the formation of biological membranes. Phospholipids, organized into bilayers, create a [semipermeable barrier](/entries… -

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates (sugars) serve as primary energy sources and structural components. Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose) polymerize into disaccharides or complex polysaccharides (e.g., starch, glycogen, cellulose). Glycoproteins and glycolipids, modified carbohydrates attac… -
