Across
- 3. Chemical process that turns vegetable oils to solids
- 6. Sugars with single unit chemical structure
- 9. Carbohydrates with complicated structures
- 10. Lipoprotein that takes cholesterol from liver to where needed in the body; can accumulate too much; considered "bad" cholesterol
- 11. Green pigment in plants; must be present for photosynthesis to occur
- 12. Lipoprotein that picks up cholesterol and takes it back to liver for excretion; "good" cholesterol
- 13. Plant proteins that lack at least one essential amino acid
- 15. Chemical building blocks of proteins that link together in many arrangements
- 17. Plant materials that are eaten but can't be digested by human enymes
- 19. Chemical structures that make up fats
Down
- 1. Simple carbs chemically formed from plants
- 2. Chemical process by which plants make carbs
- 4. nutrient that is a person's main source of energy; found mostly in plant foods
- 5. Fat-like substance in all body cells; needed for many essential body processes
- 7. Amino acids that the body needs but cannot provide; obtained from foods
- 8. Protein with globular shape; transports oxygen in blood to all body cells
- 14. Chemical "packages" that transport fatty acids through blood stream
- 16. Sugars extracted from plants and used to sweeten foods
- 18. Formed when plants combine single glucose units into more complicated chemical structures
