Across
- 1. acids a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain
- 5. acid A molecule consisting of the basic amino group (NH2), the acidic carboxylic group (COOH), a hydrogen atom (-H), and an organic side group (R) attached to the carbon atom, thus, having the basic formula of NH2CHRCOOH.
- 8. a substance that has a molecular structure consisting chiefly or entirely of a large number of similar units bonded together.ex: many synthetic organic materials used as plastics and resins
- 9. a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer.
- 10. a molecule containing a very large number of atoms, such as a protein, nucleic acid, or synthetic polymer.
Down
- 2. any of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars, starch, and cellulose.
- 3. acid Any of the group of a long chain of hydrocarbon derived from the breakdown of fats (through a process called hydrolysis). It has a single carboxylic group and aliphatic tail. 2) sub-units of fats, oils and waxes.
- 4. An oxygen atom has stronger polarity. Polar atoms interact with water, meaning they are hydrophilic.
- 6. The basic building block of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA. It is an organic compound made up of nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group. Supplement.
- 7. A molecule in which the electrons are shared equally between the nuclei. As a result, the distribution of charge is even and the force of attraction between different molecules is small. Non-polar molecules show little reactivity.
- 8. A molecule composed of polymers of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds.
- 11. any of a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
