This article explores the fundamental role of organic compounds in biochemistry, focusing on carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. It details how these compounds serve as building blocks for cells and store energy, highlighting the importance of enzymes as catalysts in speeding up chemical reactions. Additionally, we examine the transport of materials in and out of cells, and how different carbohydrates like glucose, starch, and cellulose contribute to cellular functions. Join us in unraveling the complexities of the molecules that sustain life.
