Life is, in part, a very complex sequence of chemical reactions. These reactions involve natural, as well as manufactured, chemicals. The study of these reactions makes up the field of biochemistry, the most complex and least understood of all branches of chemistry. A knowledge of biochemistry helps people understand many things: how the environment functions. How human beings are linked to their environment. How people can, if they are not careful, destroy the environment and thus ultimately destroy themselves.
