Chemists are architects. They deal with the composition of nonliving things—from textiles to oil and petroleum to the atmosphere—essentially, everything that we touch and see. Their “building blocks” are atoms and molecules. Biochemistry is a bridge between biology and chemistry. This “hybrid” major focuses on the composition of living things. You’ll examine topics like how humans derive nutrients from food, how diseases evolve, and why plants thrive in certain environments.
