BS Biochemistry
As the name indicates, it is the chemistry of Biology, thus exploring the chemical processes related to living system. Integration of these processes gives rise to the complexity of life. All the areas of life science are dependent on the biochemical research, as it is main source of information about the living processes whether in plants, animals or microbes. As this science makes us understand the biological molecules and their involvement in the living processes, so this science in turn relates to the study of tissues, organs and organisms, in short, the whole Biology.
