Chemistry of life forms the fundamental basis of biological systems, explaining how molecules interact to create and sustain life.
• The main building blocks of life consist of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, each serving distinct biological functions
• Essential elements include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus, forming various molecular bonds
• Chemical reactions like hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis play crucial roles in forming and breaking down biological molecules
• Understanding molecular structures from simple elements to complex biomolecules is fundamental to chemistry of life biology
