The language of biochemistry is written primarily in atoms of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. The molecules essential to life readily undergo chemical reactions, and common clusters of atoms react in repeatable ways. These are called functional groups. The functional groups below can be used to solve this chemistry puzzle.

Z = B + L + H
Y = (G + E) - J
X = D - K
W = F
V = C
U = (A + M) – E
T = G - L
S = (A + L) – (E + F)
- Alcohol = 1
- Ketone = 2
- Amine = 3
- Aldehyde = 4
- Carboxylic Acid = 5
- Phosphate Group = 6
- Ester = 7
- Ether = 8
- Methyl = 9
