Macromolecules
This type of macromolecule is often referred to as "sugars" and is our main source of cellular energy.

What is a Wendigo?
This is the type of cell that contains a cell wall.
What are plant cells?
This macromolecule has hundreds of functions including movement, strength, and as a catalyst.
What are proteins?
This is the random passing of molecules down their concentration gradient and into a cell.
What is diffusion?
This type of cell lacks membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryote?
Episode 17 introduces these two paranormal investigators.
Who are Ed and Harry?
This organelle is where a vast majority of our cellular energy is produced.
What is the mitochondria?
This is the basic unit of a protein.
What is an amino acid?
