Are you ready to dive into the fascinating world of biochemistry within cells? In today's lesson, we will explore the biochemical processes that occur within all living organisms – processes that are critical for the functioning of cells.

But before we begin, let us take a moment to reflect on what you already know about cells, biochemistry and the connection between them.

Share your Understanding

Take a moment to complete the following prompts in your notebook:

• What are cells, and what do they do?
• How do cells communicate and move?
• What is biochemistry, and how does it relate to cells?
• Why is biochemistry important for understanding cellular functions?

Connecting the Dots

Now, let's connect the dots between our understanding of cells and biochemistry. Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes that occur within living organisms, including cells. These processes include the metabolism of nutrients, genetic expression, and signaling between cells.

Understanding biochemistry is critical to understanding cellular functions, and therefore, the entire operation of living organisms. For example, the way in which cells break down and utilize energy is a critical function that is regulated by biochemical pathways. Disruptions to these pathways can lead to disease and dysfunction within the body.

Objectives of Today's Lesson

By the end of today's lesson, you should be able to:

• Explain the basic principles of biochemistry within cells
• Identify and describe key biochemical pathways that occur within cells
• Understand the significance of these pathways for cellular functions

Now that we have reviewed the critical link between biochemistry and cells, let's begin our exciting journey into the biochemical world within cells!
