Various Types of Chemical Reactions
Biochemical reactions are the types of chemical reactions which take place naturally
in the biological organisms (Lerer & Piper, 2003). In these reactions, different biomolecules
interact with one another to form new biochemical materials for a specified bodily use. The
various kinds of these biochemicals include sugars, lipids, and proteins. An illustration of this
type of reaction is the formation of dipeptide and a resultant water molecule when two amino
acids interact (Fursule, Kulkarni & Agarkar, 2009). The amino acids that are formed using
this particular technique are the most ab...
