Biochemistry is the study of bio (life) and chem (the interactions of matter and energy). So this is the study of living organisms, pretty much, and their intended functions. I think. Anyway, this category can study a few items. Some are pretty neat, most are hit-you-over-the-head-why-did-I-have-to-do-this kind of thing. Toxins and weapons are cool, but I don't like to use them unless they have infinite ammo, which usually falls under the category of Quantum Physics.

Various scientific topics will become available once the strange object or lifeform is successfully recovered from combat. Using the knowledge acquired will allow using their own tools against them, knowing which alien is vunerable to certain type of damage, what are their weaknesses and finally, to invent new X-Com weaponry to exploit this new information.

Biochemistry is the study of all biological and chemical aspects regarding the Apocalypse: the aliens, their organic equipment, and their environment.

Biochemistry

Alien lifeforms are strange organisms which only some share a passing resemblance to the humanoid shape. Fighting these otherworldly things shows that they are suspectible to various weaponry ...but what are they, what is their purpose, their 'alive' weaponry is odd and what do they want with Mega-Primus?

Biochemistry Laboratory

Various scientific topics will become available once the strange object or lifeform is successfully recovered from combat. Using the knowledge acquired will allow using their own tools against them, knowing which alien is vunerable to certain type of damage, what are their weaknesses and finally, to invent new X-Com weaponry to exploit this new information.

Research

  • If a prerequisite is in italics, only one in the list within "Prerequisites" is needed to allow further study.

Suggested Sequence

Biochemistry research is extremely important if wanting the knowledge to construct Toxiguns.

  • Bio-Transport Module.
  • Multiworm (alive or dead).
  • Advanced Biochemistry Lab.
  • Multiworm (alive or dead).
  • Hyperworm.
  • Hyperworm Autopsy.
  • Chrysalis.
  • Chrysalis Autopsy.

...once the advanced laboratory is complete:

  • The Alien Genetic Structure
  • Biological Warfare (build Toxiguns, ignore Toxin A)
  • The Alien Life Cycle
  • Toxin B
