Macromolecules

1. Break down larger complex molecules into smaller molecules.
3. Are sugars capable of acting as a reducing agent because it has a free aldehyde group or a free ketone group.
5. Are a long chain of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds.
7. Is a simple monosaccharide found in many plants.
9. Refers to the indigestible carbohydrates found in plant-based foods.
11. Is a covalent bond formed between a carbohydrate molecule and another molecule.
14. Are molecules built from sugars.
15. Is a covalent chemical bond formed between two amino acid molecules.
16. Is the stored form of sugars in plants.
18. Energy is released and that energy is used to help make ATP.
20. Have at least three structures: primary, secondary, and tertiary structure.

1. Is the process by which animals convert food into a type of energy usable by their cells
2. Its number of carbon atoms usually ranges between three and seven.
4. They form when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction, forming a glycosidic bond.
6. Consist of an amino group and a carboxyl group connected by an alpha carbon.
8. Is the most abundant natural biopolymer on Earth
10. In humans is an important source of energy. During cellular respiration
12. Glucose, galactose and fructose are isomeric monosaccharides
13. Is a disaccharide consisting of the monomers glucose and galactose. It is found naturally in milk.
17. The building blocks of life, are synthesized in all forms of living cells.
19. Is a molecule which acts as a universal energy currency for living cells.
