The SAT Subject Test in Biology assesses students' knowledge and understanding of biological concepts and processes.
Molecular biology delves into the molecules that make life possible, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
DNA is copied during replication and used as a template to synthesize proteins in two steps:
Enzymes, which are proteins, speed up chemical reactions vital for life.
This knowledge is the basis for biotechnology, genetic engineering, and medical diagnostics.
\[DNA \rightarrow RNA \rightarrow Protein\]
Insulin, a protein hormone, helps regulate blood sugar.
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is used to amplify DNA in labs.
Molecular biology explains how molecules like DNA control the functions of life.
