Question

Difference between biosynthesis and chemical synthesis of dna

Answer 1

Macromolecules are formed by the polymerization of small subunits. Lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, plastics, fiber, rubber, etc. are some known popular macromolecules.  Some macromolecules are natural while some are synthetic. Some are organic compounds while others are not organic. The formation of macromolecules by combining simple or small molecules is referred to as synthesis. Biosynthesis is one way of synthesis. Biosynthesis refers to the formation of organic macromolecules from small molecules within a living organism by enzymatic reactions. These two words, synthesis and biosynthesis, are used more commonly to distinguish artificial and biological formations of macromolecules.  Based on it, the key difference between synthesis and biosynthesis is that synthesis is the artificial or the chemical formation of larger molecules by small molecules while biosynthesis is the formation of larger organic molecules from small molecules by the action of enzymes within a living organism.
