Biosynthesis is the process by which living organisms produce complex molecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids from simpler substances. This metabolic process involves a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that transform raw materials into the necessary building blocks for growth, repair, and maintenance of cells and tissues. Biosynthesis plays a crucial role in a wide range of biological functions, such as energy storage, cellular communication, and defense mechanisms. Researchers study biosynthesis to understand how organisms make these essential molecules and to develop new therapeutic approaches for various diseases.
