Across
- 3. main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells
- 4. pigment is present in all green plants and a few other organisms.
- 7. the ability to do work
- 9. an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals
- 10. an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients
- 13. the process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen gas to produce energy from food
- 15. the chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy
- 17. the type of respiration through which cells can break down sugars to generate energy in the absence of oxygen.
- 19. plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process
- 20. metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substances through the action of enzymes.
Down
- 1. the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy

- 8. energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things
- 11. tiny little openings in the exterior surface of an organism's skin or a structure
- 12. the anaerobic transformation of fructose and glucose (sugars) into ethanol and carbon dioxide
- 14. a biological molecule consisting of one adenine, one sugar, and two phosphates
- 16. substances produced by living organisms that have a color resulting from selective color absorption
