Across
  1. 2. Carbon in the Hydrosphere
  2. 8. Organelle that breaks apart glucose
  3. 9. organelle in autotrophs where photosynthesis happens
  4. 11. The process that autotrophs/producers (plants, algae, cyanobacteria) use to convert carbon dioxide and light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose
  5. 12. an organism, such as soil bacteria, fungus, or invertebrate, that breaks down living things and returns carbon and nitrogen to the soil.
  6. 15. eats producers, herbivores
  7. 16. the source of energy for all living things on Earth because producers use it for photosynthesis
  8. 17. The process that animals, plants, and fungi use to break down glucose and oxygen, releasing energy, and make ATP.
  9. 18. Carbon in a plant
