Across
- 2. Releases energy by breaking down glucose and other foods in the presence of oxygen. Must know the formula:
- 5. A restricted region of an enzyme molecule which binds to the substrate.
- 7. (pop!)
- 9. Substances found in all living things that are necessary for biological processes.
- 11. a large molecule made up of monomers that are joined together.
- 13. The minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur
- 15. The substance an enzyme acts on. They may be broken apart or put together.
- 17. the process of making something, such as a new molecule or protein.
- 20. of an enzyme by temperature or other factors.
- 21. A molecule that has all the genetic information for an organism. Includes directions for development, growth and reproduction of the organism. Fatty Acid: An organic compound that is a major component of lipids and a building block for the fat in the body.
Down
- 1. occurs within a cell or between cells that regulates cell function. Dehydration synthesis: A chemical reaction that joins two or more molecules together to form a larger molecule while also removing water. Occurs when monomers bond together to make polymers creating biomolecules.
- 3. Another name for a biomolecule.Needed by all living things.
- 4. Make a reaction start faster
- 6. Proteins that act as a catalyst to accelerate a reaction. They are NOT permanently changed in the process, so they are reusable. The work with specific substrates. Their name end in -ASE
- 8. Uses the energy of the sun to synthesize (make) organic compounds (sugars) from inorganic compounds (CO2 and water).
- 10. Fat tissues that help keep an organism warm Macromolecule: Another name for a biomolecule. Needed by all living things. Monomer: A molecule that can be bonded to another identical molecule. The smallest part of a biomolecule.
- 12. A molecule that can be bonded to another identical molecule. The smallest part of a biomolecule.
- 14. When a cell is damaged beyond repair, it destroys
- 16. A substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction and is altered during the reaction. What is put together to make something new.
- 18. An organic compound that is a major component of lipids and a building block for the fat in the body.
- 19. the end result of a biological or chemical process, what was made or created.
