Chemistry Review
Across
- 3. Monomers of lipids
- 6. Smallest amount of a compound; made by combining atoms
- 10. Element that is contained in water, and, along with carbon and oxygen, makes up about 95% of living things
- 11. compounds consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group; they form the basic structural unit of nucleic acids such as DNA
- 12. Fats and oils
- 14. a compound made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom which is essential for life on Earth
- 16. The molecule on which an enzyme binds and acts
- 19. A liquid mixture in which the parts are uniformly distributed
- 21. Make up all living things
- 24. Smallest part of an element; basic unit of matter
- 26. Deoxyribonucleic acid; biomolecule sometimes called the “blueprint of life”; encodes directions for cells to follow; double stranded, appears kind of like a spiral ladder
- 27. _____ Acids: Encode information/instructions; examples are DNA and RNA
- 29. a state of balance
- 30. main source of energy (directly or indirectly) for most life on Earth
- 32. Compounds that usually don’t contain carbon, and are associated with abiotic (nonliving) things
- 33. a property of matter; the ability to do work
Down
- 1. Used for energy (contain C, H, O, ex), found in pasta and bread
- 2. Active ____: Where an enzyme attaches to a substrate
- 4. Pure substances made of atoms
- 5. pH ____: Scale that shows if something is acidic, basic, or neutral; measure H ion concentration
- 7. Two or more chemically bonded elements; represented by chemical formulas
- 8. Proteins that speed up or slow down chemical reactions
- 9. smallest structural and functional part of an organism; all living things are made up of one or more cells
- 13. Compound associated with living things; also known as macromolecules or biomolecules
- 15. Monomers that make up carbohydrates
- 17. energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things
- 18. basic building blocks of biomolecules
- 20. Element that is contained in water, and, along with carbon and hydrogen, makes up about 95% of living things; also inhaled in by many animals
- 22. A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing a permanent change
- 23. ____ Acids: Organic molecules that function as the building blocks of proteins/biomolecules
- 25. Combination of substances that can be separated
- 28. Element that, along with hydrogen and oxygen, makes up about 95% of living things
- 31. Ribonucleic acid; reads messages carried by DNA; looks kind of like DNA, but is single-stranded
