Introduction

Welcome to “Biology and Chemistry for Human Biosciences”

This textbook uniquely combines biology and chemistry in a single resource, specifically designed for students in the health sciences. Biology and chemistry are the twin pillars of human bioscience, each providing critical insights into organisms like humans. Biology and chemistry together help to explore and understand everything about life, from the smallest building blocks to the largest systems in nature.

Our aim is to provide a simplified and accessible foundation in both subjects, tailored for those at the beginning of their academic journey. Understanding the basics of biology, chemistry, and their intersection in biochemistry is crucial for advanced studies in related fields.

RMIT University students enrolled in Biomedical Sciences, Laboratory Medicine, Pharmacology, Osteopathy, and other healthcare-related programs will find this book particularly beneficial. It serves as a valuable resource for any student aspiring to pursue a career in the health disciplines.
