Carbohydrates
Across
- 3. the monomer of carbohydrates
- 7. the reaction that removes water from the reactant to build up a polymer
- 8. Carbohydrates that take more energy to digest because it has more bonds to break down
- 11. a sugar that has two monomers
- 13. all sugars end with this suffix
- 14. the general term for a molecule that is made up of 2+ subunits
- 17. the general term for the metabolic reaction that breaks down molecules; releases energy
- 18. the macromolecule that provides short and long term energy
Down
- 1. the reaction that adds water to a polymer to break it down into monomers
- 2. carbs, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids are all types of this
- 4. there are 12 atoms of this element in glucose
- 5. this element's chemical symbol is "O"
- 6. has the same chemical formula, but different structure (e.g. galactose & fructose)
- 9. carbohydrates that are easy to digest
- 10. the element that makes molecules "organic"
- 12. the general term for the metabolic reaction that builds up monomers; takes energy
- 14. a large molecule of sugar, such as starch
- 15. the general term for a molecule that is the simplest building block of a macromolecule
