Front

Type of macromolecule that is responsible for your genetic information.

Back

Nucleic acids are macromolecules that store and transmit genetic information. Examples include DNA and RNA.

Front

An anaerobic process that occurs in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells in which glucose is split into two parts and renamed pyruvate.

Back

Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing energy in the form of ATP.

Front

A molecule that can carry energy within a cell and inside of an organism. Most are created by cellular respiration.

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells.
