Across
- 4. Anything composed of atoms and, consequently, has mass and takes up space.
- 7. Organ system responsible for transporting digested food molecules to cells around the body.
- 9. System of chemical reactions occurring within cells in which the bonds in food and oxygen molecules are broken, new bonds are formed within products; energy from this process is used in condensation reactions to form ATP from ADP and Pi.
- 11. Group of fatty or waxy organic molecules found in foods that are made mostly from carbon and hydrogen atom; they include oils, cholesterol and triglycerides.
- 13. Term that is used to describe any substance containing carbon-based compounds, especially those produced by or derived from living organisms.
- 15. The ability to do work; required to break chemical bonds and released when new chemical bonds form.
- 16. Organelles where cellular respiration occurs.
- 18. Neutral (uncharged) group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
- 20. Group of organic molecules found in foods that are composed of amino acids.
Down
- 1. Chemical reaction that involves breaking chemical bonds through the addition of water; occurs during chemical digestion and when ATP is split into ADP and Pi.
- 2. An attraction between atoms in a molecule; energy is required to break this attraction and energy is released when this attraction forms; (eg.) covalent.
- 3. Molecule that stores chemical energy and is used by cells to do work.
- 5. Structures within the lungs that are surrounded by small blood vessels (capillaries) and involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases.
- 6. Structures within the small intestine that absorb digested food molecules and transport those molecules into the bloodstream.
- 8. Group of organic molecules found in food that are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and include sugars, starch, and cellulose.
- 10. Matter or energy that enters a process, such as a chemical reaction; a reactant.
- 12. A large molecule composed of many small and simple repeating units.
- 14. Type of energy released during cellular respiration; used to maintain internal body temperature.
- 17. The process of breaking down food into smaller components that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
- 19. Organic substance containing carbohydrates, proteins, and/or fats that serves as both fuel and building material for an organism.
