Down:
1) Double-stranded, serves as the genetic blueprint, stable and long-lasting2) A large macromolecule made by bonding many monomer units together5) A reaction that builds polymers from monomers by removing water7) DNA vs RNA: DNA is double-stranded, RNA is single-stranded9) Single-stranded, temporary copy of DNA used in protein synthesis, less stable12) A reaction that breaks down polymers into monomers by adding water13) Structure & Function: Composed of amino acids; perform a variety of functions including catalyzing reactions and providing structure14) Proteins have four levels of structure:
1. Primary Structure: Sequence of amino acids
2. Secondary Structure: Local folding into alpha-helices and beta-sheets
3. Tertiary Structure: Overall 3D shape of a single polypeptide chain
4. Quaternary Structure: Assembly of multiple polypeptide chains into a functional protein16) The simplest carbohydrates, consisting of a single sugar molecule. Example: Glucose, which is vital for cellular energy19) Monomer: basic unit; Polymer: large molecule made of monomers |
Across:
3) A small, basic molecule that can bind chemically to other identical or similar molecules.4) Formed by two monosaccharides linked together. Example: Sucrose (table sugar), composed of glucose and fructose6) One or more double bonds, liquid at room temperature due to kinks in the structure8) Complex carbohydrates made of many monosaccharides. Example. Starch, used by plants for energy storage10) Examples: Monosaccharide (Glucose), Disaccharide (Sucrose), Polysaccharide (Starch)11) Structure & Function: Composed of sugar monomers; provide energy and structural support. Examples: glucose, sucrose, starch15) Dehydration synthesis: reaction that forms polymers from monomers17) Large organic molecules essential for life, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.18) Multiple double bonds, also liquid at room temperature, found in fish and plant oils20) Structure & Function: Composed of fatty acids and glycerol; store energy and form cell membranes. Examples: fats, oils, phospholipids21) Structure & Function: Composed of nucleotides; store and transmit genetic information. Examples: DNA and RNA22) No double bonds, solid at room temperature due to tight packaging23) Hydrolysis: reactions that breaks down polymers from monomers24) Four biological macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids |
