working of human chemistry a detailed layout of plans and mechanism

1. Overview of Human Body Chemistry: The human body is a complex chemical system. It involves interactions between various molecules and elements. Chemistry underpins all biological processes. Importance of Chemistry in Biological Processes: Understanding body chemistry aids in medical advancements. It is key to developing pharmaceuticals and therapies, and is essential for diagnosing and treating diseases. Elements and Molecules: Major elements include Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen. Trace elements include Iron, Zinc, and Copper. Key molecules include water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Metabolism and Energy Production: Catabolic pathways involve the breakdown of molecules for energy. Anabolic pathways involve the synthesis of complex molecules. ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) acts as the energy currency in cells.
