Across
- 4. Substance that can neither be broken down nor converted to other substances by ordinary chemical means
- 5. Consists of two or more atoms which can be of the same or different elements
- 8. Substance that maintains a solution at a constant pH by accepting or releasing H+ in response to small changes in H+ concentration
- 13. Disrupt a protein’s shape making it nonfunctional
- 14. Unstable isotopes that emit energy called radiation
- 15. Positively or negatively charged atom
- 17. Water molecules stick together
- 18. Forms when atoms with partially full outermost electron shells share electrons
- 20. Covalent bond with unequal sharing of electrons such that one atom is relatively negative and the other is relatively positive
- 21. Building block monomer is nucleotides
- 22. Bond in which partially charged hydrogen and oxygen atoms attract different water molecules
Down
- 1. Make and break chemical bonds to form new substances
- 2. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons
- 3. Attractive forces that hold atoms together in molecules
- 6. Liquid water molecules change to gas
- 7. Building block monomer is amino acids
- 9. Groups of atoms that attach to the carbon backbone and determine the characteristics and chemical reactivity of the molecules
- 10. Molecules that have a carbon skeleton and contain hydrogen atoms
- 11. Building block monomer is sugars or monosaccharides
- 12. Building block monomer is fatty acids
- 16. Covalent bond with equal sharing of electrons
- 19. Electrical attraction between oppositely charged atoms that holds them together
