Down
- 1. A fat that splits between loving and hating water.
- 2. Sulfur links form bonds to strengthen the chain.
- 3. Multiple links create chains of sweet energy.
- 5. A quick energy transfer straight from the substrate.

- 9. A sneaky block that doesn’t compete for a spot.
- 11. The RNA map that leads scissors to their mark.
- 14. Shift the code, and chaos ensues.
- 15. Heat breaks the protein’s perfect structure.
- 17. A 3-carbon middle player in Calvin’s plan.
- 18. Three’s company for these fatty energy reserves.
