Macromolecules 1
This macromolecule is the body's main source of quick energy.
What are carbohydrates?
This macromolecule contains genetic information and includes DNA and RNA.
What are nucleic acids?
The specific region of an enzyme where the substrate binds is called this.
What is the active site?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain this genetic material.
What is DNA?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins so they can be delivered to their proper locations.
What is the Golgi apparatus (Golgi body)?
Sugars and starches belong to this macromolecule group.

The molecule an enzyme acts on is called this.
What is the substrate?
This type of cell does not have a nucleus.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
This organelle contains enzymes that break down waste, old cell parts, and unwanted materials.
What are lysosomes?
small subunits of proteins
What are amino acids?
