  3. 14. process where food is made by bacteria or other organisms using chemicals as the energy source
  4. 16. evolutionary process where an organism becomes better able to live in its habitat(s)
  5. 20. biological process where a cell creates an exact copy of its DNA
  6. 21. specific DNA sequence upstream of a gene that initiates transcription of that gene
  7. 22. behavior manifested in response to an internal or external stimulus
  8. 24. collection of tissues preforming a specific action
  9. 26. nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide carries elections
  10. 27. a group of organisms that can reproduce and make fertile offspring
  11. 28. process of translating sequence of mRNA to a sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis
  12. 29. term for redox reactions of photosynthesis, uses chemical energy of ATP and reducing power of NADPH to produce sugars
Down
  1. 1. plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, H2O, and CO2 to create glucose for energy
  2. 2. permanent change in DNA sequence, possibly due to errors or mutagens
  3. 3. metabolic process that coverts glucose into two pyruvates
