Across
- 3. reaction that causes breakdown of larger molecules into smaller molecules by utilizing water
- 4. chemical signaling molecule, usually protein or steroid, secreted by endocrine cells that act to control or regulate specific physiological processes
- 7. membranes' major constituent; comprised of two fatty acids and a phosphate-containing group attached to a glycerol backbone
- 8. linkage covalent chemical bond that holds together the polynucleotide chains with a phosphate group linking neighboring nucleotides' two pentose sugars
- 9. Also known as fat
- 12. polysaccharide that comprises the plants's cell wall
- 13. The building block of protein
- 15. biological macromolecule comprised of one or more amino acid chains

Down
- 1. This means 2 sugars
- 2. process through which messenger RNA forms on a template of DNA
- 5. large molecule necessary for life that is built from smaller organic molecules
- 6. This the full name of DNA
- 7. chain of monomer residues that covalent bonds link; polymerization is the process of polymer formation from monomers by condensation
- 10. smallest unit of larger molecules that are polymers
- 11. reaction that links monomer molecules releasing a water molecule for each bond formed
- 14. lipid comprised of a long-chain fatty acid that is esterified to a long-chain alcohol; serves as a protective coating on some feathers, aquatic mammal fur, and leaves
- 17. protein that helps nascent protein in the folding process
- 18. type of carbohydrate that forms the outer skeleton of all arthropods
- 22. This helps facilitate chemical reactions
