infoWhy this? Biological molecules reveal the common chemical basis of life and explain how molecular structure enables biological function. Understanding carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and water connects cellular processes to shared chemistry that provides evidence for common evolutionary ancestry.

scheduleWhy now? Beginning with biological molecules establishes the chemical foundations for understanding cell structures, membrane transport, and enzyme action. This knowledge also underpins later explanations of genetic information and energy transfer.
