Macromolecules
Across
- 4. A covalent chemical bond formed between two amino acid molecules.
- 6. Proteins have four structures: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure.
- 7. A covalent bond formed between a carbohydrate molecule and another molecule.
- 8. Or fruit sugar, is a simple monosaccharide found in many plants.
- 12. Are simple sugars, the number of carbon atoms usually ranges from three to seven.
- 13. The most abundant natural biopolymer on Earth because it is the main component in plant cell walls.
- 14. Also known as roughage or bulk, refers to the indigestible carbohydrates found in plant-based foods.
- 15. Adenosine triphosphate is a molecule which acts as a universal energy currency for living cells.
- 16. Sugars capable of acting as a reducing agent because it has a free aldehyde group or a free ketone group.
- 17. Have the same chemical formula but have slightly different structures.
- 19. These reactions create building blocks for and help synthesize energy.
- 20. Consist of an amino group and a carboxyl group connected by an alpha carbon. The R group, also known as side chain, differs with each.
Down
- 1. A disaccharide consisting of the monomers glucose and galactose.
- 2. The process by which animals convert food into a type of energy usable by their cells
- 3. The building blocks of life, are synthesized in all forms of living cells.
- 5. Consist of two sugar molecules.
- 7. A type of sugar with the chemical formula C6H12O6, in humans, an important source of energy.
- 9. molecules built from sugars.
- 10. Protein make up more than 50% of the dry mass of most cells.
- 11. Long chain of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds
- 18. The stored form of sugars in plants. It is made up of a mixture of amylose and amylopectin, both polymers of glucose.
