Across
  1. 5. used for energy storage, membrane structure, hormones, insulation
  2. 6. small amounts of these are essential to many biochemical functions and also called trace elements
  3. 7. ______ fatty acids are hydrocarbon chains that only consist of single bonds
  4. 8. most abundant elements in the cells such as carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen
  5. 13. this type of analysis allows us to identify bacteria via fatty acid analysis by gas chromatography
