Across
  1. 2. Releases energy by breaking down glucose and other foods in the presence of oxygen. Must know the formula:
  2. 5. A restricted region of an enzyme molecule which binds to the substrate.
  3. 7. (pop!)
  4. 9. Substances found in all living things that are necessary for biological processes.
  5. 11. a large molecule made up of monomers that are joined together.
  6. 13. The minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur
  7. 15. The substance an enzyme acts on. They may be broken apart or put together.
  8. 17. the process of making something, such as a new molecule or protein.
  9. 20. of an enzyme by temperature or other factors.
  10. 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. 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.
  2. 3. Another name for a biomolecule.Needed by all living things.
  3. 4. Make a reaction start faster
  4. 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
  5. 8. Uses the energy of the sun to synthesize (make) organic compounds (sugars) from inorganic compounds (CO2 and water).
  6. 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.
  7. 12. A molecule that can be bonded to another identical molecule. The smallest part of a biomolecule.
  8. 14. When a cell is damaged beyond repair, it destroys
  9. 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.
  10. 18. An organic compound that is a major component of lipids and a building block for the fat in the body.
  11. 19. the end result of a biological or chemical process, what was made or created.
