How Are We Organised
Across
- 4. Lipid consisting of a glycerol and 3 fatty acid chains, aka neutral fats
- 6. RNA. The molecular servant of DNA. Carries out the instructions for protein synthesis
- 10. Very large molecules
- 12. Fatty acids that have had hydrogen forced onto the carbon chain, healthy liquid fats
- 14. DNA. Nucleic acid that carries the instructions that code for the structure and function of the human body
- 15. the monomers of carbohydrates, simple sugars
- 17. Fatty acid chains consisting of one or more double bonds between carbon atoms
- 20. Organic compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen as well as nitrogen
- 21. ATP. A nucleotide that stores and releases energy for all cellular activities in a cell
- 23. A biological catalyst that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without becoming part of the reaction
- 24. Diverse group of organic compounds consisting of C, H, and O
Down
- 1. Small building block molecules that link to form polymers
- 2. Many monosaccharides linked together to make macromolecule carbohydrates
- 3. Two monosaccharides linked together
- 5. A reaction that breaks down polymers to form monomers, this reaction consumes a molecule of water
- 7. Flat molecules formed of four interlocking rings
- 8. A reaction that joins monomers to form polymers
- 9. Large molecule formed by many identical or similar building block molecules called monomers
- 11. Compounds containing carbon
- 13. Organic compound serving as a form of chemical energy for driving metabolic reactions
- 16. Organic compound consisting of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and phosphorus also carries genetic information
- 18. The monomers of proteins
- 19. A phosphorous group and two fatty acid chains, double layer of phospholipids forms the cell membrane
- 22. Fatty acid chains consisting of only single bonds between carbon atoms
