Why is enzyme shape so important?
Enzymes are very substrate specific.
What is a word to describe an enzyme due to its ability to speed up a reaction?
Catalyst
All or Nothing:
DNA and RNA are polymers of what macromolecule?
Nucleic Acids
Why would it be a good idea to oil a cast iron pan?

Trade Request:
Before an intense workout what macromolecules should you consume for long term and short term energy?
Carbs and Lipids
What macromolecule provides structural support for the plant cell?
Carbs

Double Jeopardy:
What macromolecule is responsible for repairing the body?
Protein
Name three real food examples of Carbs.

Cereal
Potatoes
ETC.
What molecule is broken down most easily and why?
Simple sugars because the have the least amount of bonds to break.
What is the enzyme needed to break down lactose?
Lactase
Trade Request:
