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