Enzymes
Enzymes are made of this type of nutrient (macromolecule).
proteins
This macromolecule gives your body short-term/quick energy and is found in bread and pasta.
Carbohydrates
All living things are made of these tiny building blocks.
Cells
This part of the cell is like the brain — it controls everything.
Nucleus
This word means a living thing.
Organism
Enzymes are used in this system to help digest food.
digestive system
These macromolecules help build muscles and repair your body.
Proteins
Living things do this to make more of their kind.
Reproduce
This part makes energy for the cell and is called the “powerhouse.”
Mitochondria
These large molecules are made of smaller building blocks. (Examples: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids)
Macromolecules
Enzymes work faster when the body is at the right level of this.
Temperature
Meat, eggs, and beans are good sources of this macromolecule.
Protein
All living things need this to grow and do work.
energy
This part gives plant cells their shape and support.
Cell Wall
These are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body.
Enzymes
If it’s too hot or too cold, enzymes can stop working. This is called being _____.
Denatured
These macromolecules are fats and oils that store long-term energy.
Lipids
This process helps living things keep their inside conditions stable. (body temp, blood glucose)
Homeostasis
This small part makes proteins for the cell.
Ribosomes
This process helps plants turn sunlight into food.
Photosynthesis
Just like puzzle pieces, each enzyme fits with one kind of molecule, like a key in a _____.
lock
This macromolecule stores your genetic information in DNA.
Nucleic Acids
This word means a living thing can change over generations to survive better.
Evolution, evolve
This green part in plant cells helps make food using sunlight.
Chloroplast
This word means something that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.
Catalyst
