Biology chapter 2
Across
- 2. - a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element
- 3. a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change.
- 6. a relationship between people or groups based on shared feelings, interests, or experiences
- 7. the movement of a fluid from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
- 8. any of the class of soluble, crystalline, typically sweet-tasting carbohydrates found in living tissues and exemplified by glucose and sucrose.
- 9. a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system
- 14. the lowest part or edge of something, especially the part on which it rests or is supported.
- 15. a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction
- 17. a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction.
- 20. any of a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
- 21. acid the building blocks of proteins
- 22. the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity
- 23. chemical compounds that show, in water solution, a sharp taste, a corrosive action on metals, and the ability to turn certain blue vegetable dyes red
- 25. a substance which slows down or prevents a particular chemical reaction or other process or which reduces the activity of a particular reactant, catalyst, or enzyme.
- 26. a substance made up of only one type of atom, all with the same number of protons
- 27. a thing or person that is the result of an action or process.
- 28. Change the material involved in the change is structurally the same before and after the change
Down
- 1. having electrical or magnetic polarity.
- 3. any of a large group of organic compounds that includes sugars, starch, and cellulose, containing hydrogen and oxygen in the same ratio as water (2:1) and used as structural materials and for energy storage within living tissues.
- 4. a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture.
- 5. the sticking together of particles of the same substance.
- 10. a compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group. Nucleotides form the basic structural unit of nucleic acids such as DNA.
- 11. Change a change of materials into another, new materials with different properties and one or more than one new substances are formed
- 12. a substance made up of various types of particles that occupies physical space and has inertia
- 13. the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch
- 16. a band of scar tissue that joins two surfaces of the body that are usually separate
- 18. compound any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more carbon atoms are covalently bound to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen.
- 19. a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.
- 24. (with reference to a solid) become or cause to become incorporated into a liquid so as to form a solution
