What is Biochemistry?
1.
The study of the chemistry of life. It involves the chemistry of living things from the very largest organisms to the microscopically small lipids and amino acids.
Biology + Chemistry = Biochemistry. This isn't hard, people.

study of loads of useless reactions, usually taught by an old professor.
don't even try to say the name of the molecules.
its impossible.
biochemists name them just so they can take the mick out of poor students.
dont try to read the book. i mean, seriously, nobody reads it. not even the guy that wrote it. its another thing biochemists do just to piss their pants laughing at us.
if you're sleepy, this is the lesson you should go to. (believe me, i've slept during several of my biochemistry lessons, it's GREAT)
just make sure you say "protein conformation" or "acetyl coA is of major importance" if you're caught unprepared.
Professor: "Pyruvate carboxylase is the first regulatory enzyme in the gluconeogenic pathway, requiring acetyl-CoA as a positive effector... excuse miss, are you SLEEPING?!?"
You: "huh..? ermm acetyl-CoA is of major importance..?"
Professor: "Indeed!!! "
You: "lovely.... *stupid biochemistry* ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

a mixture of biology and chemistry or so i've heard
hey that was an awesome biochemistry lesson!
