Cell Chemistry

2. respiration process where cells break down sugar (glucose) to release its energy
3. water diffuses through a cell membrane
6. energy-rich organic compound used to store energy for later use or for insulation or in cell membranes
9. process where a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make sugar (glucose)
12. made up of 2 or more elements
14. transport materials move through a cell membrane by using energy
15. complex carbohydrate made by linking sugars together

1. a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing
2. energy-rich organic compound, like sugar or starch
4. simple carbohydrate (example: glucose)
5. organic compound used for cell structure, speeding up chemical reactions (enzymes), or on cell membranes
7. small molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
8. acids the building blocks of proteins
10. simplest form of matter OR the building block of matter
11. acids organic compound that contains instructions for cells (ex: DNA, RNA)
13. transport materials move through a cell membrane WITHOUT using energy
