Cell chemistry

3. organic compound used for cell structure, speeding up chemical reactions (enzymes), or on cell membranes
5. organic compound that contains instructions for cells (ex: DNA, RNA)
8. simple carbohydrate (example: glucose)
9. materials move through a cell membrane by using energy
10. a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing
13. energy-rich organic compound, like sugar or starch
14. materials move through a cell membrane WITHOUT using energy
15. water diffuses through a cell membrane
16. small molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

1. simplest form of matter OR the building block of matter
2. the building blocks of proteins
4. process where a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make sugar (glucose)
6. made up of 2 or more elements
7. process where cells break down sugar (glucose) to release its energy
11. complex carbohydrate made by linking sugars together
