Across
- 4. Having an aversion to water
- 6. Polysaccharide that is used for storing energy in human muscle and liver cells is?
- 7. The unraveling or loss of shape of a protein due to altered environmental conditions
- 10. Lipids that form the main structural component of cell membranes are?
- 11. Polymers of amino acids
- 12. Chemical agents that selectively speed up chemical reactions without being consumed by the reaction
- 13. Protein molecules are polymers of these molecules because they consist of one or more polypeptides into specific conformations
- 15. The type of bond that forms to join monomers into monomers is this because they are strongly bonded to each other through the loss of a water molecule
- 16. Fat that consists of three fatty acids linked to one glycerol molecule
- 18. Cellulose is this and therefore this because it is constructed from monosaccharide glucose monomers
- 20. Fatty acids are joined to glycerol by these linkages
- 22. Specialized proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells
Down
- 1. These simple sugar molecules, stored in polysaccharides such as glycogen in animals, are a major energy source for cellular work
- 2. An organic molecule consisting of only carbon and hydrogen
- 3. Having an affinity for water
- 5. Major energy storage compound of plant seeds
- 8. What is the process by which monomers are linked together to form polymers?
- 9. Compounds that mix poorly, if at all, with water
- 11. A covalent bond joining amino acids together to form a polypeptide
- 14. Huge molecules of these three classes- carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
- 17. Protein molecule that assists in the proper folding of other proteins
- 19. The subunit that serves as the building block of a polymer
- 21. Compounds that have the same number of atoms of the same numbers of elements but different structures and hence different properties
