The study of chemical processes within and related to living beings are known as biochemistry. Proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids are examples of biological macromolecules whose structures, functions, and interactions are studied. Structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism are the three areas that make up metabolic biology. They give cells their structure and execute many of the activities that make life possible. The chemistry of the cell is also influenced by small molecule and ion processes. These might be either inorganic or organic in nature.
