Down
- 1. All organisms are made of _____ molecules
- 2. Name for many sub-units or many molecules
- 3. Organic molecules contain this
- 4. Once inside cells, simple sugars release energy during this process
- 6. This process breaks the bonds between large molecules so they will be small enough to be used by the body
- 11. This carries the simple sugars to cells throughout the body
