Across
- 3. The basic building block (monomer) of nucleic acids. Consist of 3 parts: sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogen base.
- 5. A long string of amino acids connected together by peptide bonds. A polymer for proteins.
- 6. The binding between the active site of an enzyme and a substrate molecule. The active site has a fixed structure, which exactly matches the structure of a specific substrate.
- 8. A (non-organic) chemical that increases the rate of a reaction without itself being changed by the reaction.
- 11. Monomer for carbohydrates. (One sugar)
- 16. Element found in abundance in every living organism. Forms strong stable bonds to create organic compounds.
- 17. A small polymer for carbohydrates. (Two sugars)
- 18. A giant molecule formed by joining smaller molecules. Biological molecules are macromolecules and include proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
- 23. A substance produced in a chemical reaction.
- 24. A large number of similar units (monomers) bonded together.
- 26. A larger polymer for carbohydrates. (Many sugars)
- 29. Fat molecules that have no double bonds between carbon molecules because they are saturated with hydrogen molecules.
- 30. The most important class of proteins. Used to speed up the rates of biological reactions.
- 32. enzymes that break down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol.
- 33. is an example of an edible Carbohydrates (metal, bread, chlorine)
- 34. enzymes that break down starch into sugar.
- 36. Made up of nucleotides; function is to transmit and store genetic information. (DNA / RNA)
- 38. Basic building block of biological molecules.
- 40. A substance on which an enzyme acts during a chemical reaction.
- 41. Alteration of the active site, when an enzyme binds to the appropriate substrate.
Down
- 1. The temporary complex formed when the enzyme and substrate join.
- 2. example of a lipid(blubber,bread,or meat?)
- 4. The six essential elements found in large quantities in all living things.
- 7. the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life.
- 9. Process that changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals.
- 10. Made up of long chains of amino acids. Involved in many cell activities and important structural components of cells. Include enzymes and antibodies.
- 12. A fat or fatty acid in which there is one or more double bond in the fatty acid chain
- 13. example of a protein(pasta,poultry,or oil?)
- 14. Basic building block (monomer) of lipids. These can be saturated or unsaturated depending on bonds.
- 15. The minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction.
- 19. Addition of water to break 2 monomers apart.
- 20. A chemical substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction.
- 21. Made up of fatty acids and glycerol. Insoluble in water. Include waxes, oils, and fats. Provides long term energy storage and insulation.
- 22. enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids
- 25. Examples of nucleic acids that transmit and store genetic information.
- 27. Made up of simple sugars. Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. Provides quick energy.
- 28. Removal of water to join 2 monomers together.
- 31. The part of the enzyme where the substrate will bind and the reaction will take place.
- 35. Acts as a backbone with 2 fatty acids to create a phospholipid or with 3 fatty acid chains to create a triglyceride.
- 37. Basic building block (monomer) for proteins. There are 20 different ones.
- 39. what most enzymes end in
