Biology

2. deoxyribonucleic acid, it is the carrier of genetic information.
6. a molecule that is made of many bonded subunits called nucleotides
8. all of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism
9. a large biomolecule made mostly of carbon and hydrogen with a small amount of oxygen
11. the simplest forms of sugar and the building block or monomer from which all carbohydrates are built
12. a substance that increases the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process
14. a complex carbohydrate made up of smaller carbohydrates called monosaccharides
17. a lipid that contains phosphorus and is a structural component in cell membranes
19. a solution that forms OH- ions in water; PH greater than 7
21. a large, complex polymer composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur
22. the basic subunit, building block, or monomer of a nucleic acid
23. a special type of protein that changes the rate of a chemical reaction
24. a molecule that is made of many bonded subunits (monomers)

1. a self-regulating process that allows organisms to maintain stability and adjust to conditions that are best for survival.
3. the basic building block or monomer of protein
4. a pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances; building blocks of all matter
5. ribonucleic acid; a nucleic acid that plays an important role in the production of proteins
7. a polysaccharide that is the main structural component of plant cell walls
10. a covalent bond formed between the amino acids of proteins
13. small subunit of a molecule that bond to form larger molecules
14. measure of how acidic or basic a substance is
15. a biomolecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
16. a solution that forms H+ ions in water, pH is less than 7
18. monosaccharide that is the main source of energy for living organisms.
20. a chain of amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds
