Why do you need to learn this?
Studying these molecules is important to studying the very essence of who you are. What are you made of? Are you just skin, hair, and nails or are you something more? As we study cells it is very important to understand the molecules that make up cells so that we better understand cells and eventually better understand ourselves.
