Down
  1. 1. large molecule formed when many monosaccharides link together
  2. 2. acid, nucleic acid that stores and transmits genetic information from one generation of an organism to the next by coding for the production of a cell's proteins
  3. 3. large compound formed by combinations of monomers
  4. 4. simple carbohydrate, also known as single sugar
  5. 7. scale, measurement system that ranges from 0 to 14 and indicates the relative concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in a substance
  6. 11. bond, covalent bond that joins two amino acids
  7. 12. unit of a nucleic acid that is made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base
  8. 14. acid, nucleic acid made of a single chain of nucleotides that acts as a messenger between DNA and the ribosome and carries out the process by which proteins are made from amino acids
  9. 16. catabolic reaction that splits apart molecules with the consumption of water
  10. 18. reaction, chemical reaction that occurs when the hydrogen ions of a strong acid react with the hydroxide ions of a strong base to form water and a salt
  11. 19. complex polymer of amino acids that builds and repairs cells
  12. 21. compound, compounds that do not contain carbon
  13. 22. substance composed of two or more elements or compound that are mixed together but not chemically combined

  15. 26. substance in which a solute is dissolved to produce a solution
  16. 27. compound found in animal fats, meats, and dairy products that can build cells but, in excess, can be a risk factor in heart disease
  17. 31. site, region on an enzyme that can bind with a specific substrate or substrates
  18. 33. acid, large, complex organic molecule that stores and transmits genetic information
