Across
- 7. This is at least two atoms bonded (connected) together
- 8. This is the spot on an enzyme where the substrate connects to the enzyme
- 10. These are molecules that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer; Think of these as building blocks to make a larger structure, like legos
- 11. These are proteins that act as catalysts for your body, reducing how much energy is needed to finish chemical reactions
- 13. This is where a protein is put in conditions that cause it to break down, turning its tertiary structure back into a primary structure, which is useless
- 14. These are molecules that contain a very large number of atoms and are often central to life’s complicated processes
Down
- 1. These are substances made up of only one type of atom
- 2. This is a physical object or substance that takes up physical space and has mass
- 3. This is a process where molecules get rearranged
- 4. These are substances that have molecules made up mostly, if not entirely, of a large number of smaller molecules bonded together
- 5. This is the amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to “proceed to completion”
- 6. This is an ingredient for a chemical reaction
- 9. These are the reactants for a chemical reaction when enzymes are involved; An enzyme will take the substrate and put it into a position ideal for the chemical reaction to occur
- 12. This is a substance formed from a chemical reaction
- 15. This is the smallest unit of matter, which makes up every piece of matter in the universe
