What do prokaryote do with macromolecules?
I see. Do prokaryotes have any specific preferences when it comes to the macromolecules they break down?
Yes, prokaryotes are able to choose which macromolecules they break down based on their specific metabolic needs. For example, if they need energy, they'll break down carbohydrates. If they need to build new cell components, they'll break down proteins.
