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