INTRODUCTION TO BIOCHEMISTRY We introduce the chemistry of living organisms, known as biochemistry, biological chemistry, or chemical biology. Important classes of compounds that occur in living systems are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. 

INTRODUCTION TO BIOCHEMISTRY PROTEINS (SECTIONS 24.6 AND 24.7) Many of the molecules that are essential for life are large natural polymers that are constructed from smaller molecules called monomers. Three of these biopolymers are considered in this chapter proteins, polysaccharides (carbohydrates), and nucleic acids. 

In this connection it may be asked how much the "beginner is expected to know. He should be provided with a good textbook of general botany as well as an introduction to biochemistry. The latter is all the more necessary because of the material that is treated in every textbook of biochemistry, such as biological oxidation, only the basic concepts are presented here. In compensation for this the metabolic processes that are specific for higher plants have been given more than usual emphasis.
