Macromolecules
Across
- 3. - A Molecule that is made up of simple sugars that is used for quick energy. Monomer: Monosaccharide
- 5. - Monomer- amino acids, Functions: Storage, Transport, Regulatory, Movement Structural and Enzymes
- 8. reaction - A chemical change that occurs when two or more substances combine to form a new substance.
- 10. - It is what the reactants are changed into in a chemical reaction.
- 13. - Energy needed to start a chemical reaction
- 14. - An model used to explain how certain substrates fit inside of an enzyme.
- 15. - A bond that holds amino acids together in proteins.
- 17. - The smallest unit of a polymer
- 18. - A molecule that is acted upon by an enzyme
Down
- 1. - A lipid that is composed of a glycerol and three fatty acids.
- 2. - A Weak bond that forms Between Oxygen and Hydrogen.
- 4. - The part of an enzyme where the substrate binds to.
- 6. - Store Heredity information for making proteins in the body. DNA and RNA. Monomer: nucleotides
- 7. - A lipid that is produce by the body to act as chemical messengers (Hormones).
- 9. - Proteins that act as a biological catalyst to speed up chemical reactions
- 11. - enzyme that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction.
- 12. - Substances that are used to start a chemical reaction.
- 14. - Used for long term energy storage, Insulation, and Protection. Monomer: No true monomer. Lipids are compounds which are not soluble in water. Lipids are hydrophobic which means that they are water
- 16. - A molecule made up of many monomers. A very large molecule
