Across
  1. 1. Contractions of smooth muscles that provide the force that moves food through the esophagus toward the stomach
  2. 2. Large muscular sace that continues the mechanical and chemical digestion of food.
  3. 3. Enzyme that breakes down proteins into smaller polypeptide fragments
  4. 6. Maintains cartilage and bone; antioxidant; improves iron absortion; important for healty gums and wound healing
  5. 7. Promotes bone growth; increases calcium and phosphorus absortion
  6. 8. Eliminates waste products from the body
  7. 10. Antioxidant; prevents cellular damage
  8. 13. Important for amino acids metabolism
  9. 16. Controls growth, development, and metabolism; maintains homeostasis
  10. 18. Metabolism of carbohydrates
  11. 20. Involved in nucleic acid metabolism; prevents neural-tube defects
  12. 21. Important in energy metabolism
  13. 22. Growth;energy metabolism
  14. 23. Breaks down fat
  15. 24. Part of phospholipids and neurotransmitters
Down
  1. 1. acid/ Needed for energy metabolism
  2. 4. Continues the breakdown of starch
  3. 5. Mixture of enzymes and partially-gigested food
  4. 9. Breakes down remaining disaccharides into monosaccharides
  5. 11. Fingerlike projection in the small intestine that aids in the absortion of nutrient molecules
  6. 12. Involved in nucleic acid metabolism; maturation of red blood cells
  7. 14. Coenzyme in synthesis of fat; glycogen formation; amino acids metabolism
  8. 15. Breakes down dipeptides into amino acids
  9. 17. Breakes down starches into disaccharides
  10. 19. Important for growth of skin cells; important for night vision
