Across
  1. 3. The subunit that serves as the building block of a polymer
  2. 4. What is the process by which monomers are linked together to form polymers?
  3. 6. Polymers of amino acids
  4. 7. Fat that consists of three fatty acids linked to one glycerol molecule
  5. 13. Having an aversion to water
  6. 15. Huge molecules of these three classes- carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
  7. 18. Protein molecule that assists in the proper folding of other proteins
  8. 19. Chemical agents that selectively speed up chemical reactions without being consumed by the reaction
  9. 21. These simple sugar molecules, stored in polysaccharides such as glycogen in animals, are a major energy source for cellular work
Down
  1. 1. The type of bond that forms to join monomers into monomers is this because they are strongly bonded to each other through the loss of a water molecule
  2. 2. Specialized proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells
  3. 4. The unraveling or loss of shape of a protein due to altered environmental conditions
  4. 5. Protein molecules are polymers of these molecules because they consist of one or more polypeptides into specific conformations
  5. 8. Polysaccharide that is used for storing energy in human muscle and liver cells is?
  6. 9. Lipids that form the main structural component of cell membranes are?
  7. 10. Having an affinity for water
  8. 11. Major energy storage compound of plant seeds
  9. 12. Cellulose is this and therefore this because it is constructed from monosaccharide glucose monomers
  10. 13. An organic molecule consisting of only carbon and hydrogen
  11. 14. A covalent bond joining amino acids together to form a polypeptide
  12. 16. Fatty acids are joined to glycerol by these linkages
  13. 17. Compounds that have the same number of atoms of the same numbers of elements but different structures and hence different properties
  14. 20. Compounds that mix poorly, if at all, with water
