BASIC
These subatomic particles are found in the nucleus of an atom.
PROTONS AND NEUTRONS
Type of bond that is held together by electrical attraction.
IONIC BOND
This specific type of protein affects reactions in living things by changing the speed of the reaction.
ENZYME
Fats, oils, waxes are examples of this macromolecule
LIPID
