Across
  1. 1. An intermolecular attraction between like molecules (water sticking to water)
  2. 3. The measure of an acid or a base ranging from 0 (acid) to 14 (base). 7 = water
  3. 7. The energy required to start a chemical reaction.
  4. 8. A Macromolecule that is used for storage.
  5. 9. A molecule with carbon. It can react with other monomers to make a polymer.
  6. 10. A protein that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being changed by the reaction
  7. 11. A Macromolecule that carries energy into your body
Down
  1. 1. Tendency of water to rise up a thin tube
  2. 2. A weak acid or base that can react with strong acid or base to help prevent sharp, sudden changes in pH.
  3. 3. A Macromolecule that is used to build your body.
  4. 4. An intermolecular attraction between unlike molecules (water sticking to other things)
  5. 5. A polymer with a high molecular mass
  6. 6. a large compound formed from many monomers
