Across
- 4. Organisms that are able to make their own food
- 7. Naming an organism with its genus and species name
- 10. The idea that long ago, very simple life forms spontaneously appeared through chemical reactions
- 12. The sum total of all processes in an organism which convert energy and matter from outside sources and use that energy and matter to sustain the organism's live functions
- 14. A cell that has no distinct, membrane-bounded organelles
- 16. The sum total of all processes in an organism which break down chemicals to produce energy and simple chemical building blocks
- 17. A theory that has been tested by and is consistent with generations of data
- 18. The process by which green plants and some other organisms use the energy of sunlight and simple chemicals to produce their own food
- 22. Organisms that depend on other organisms for their food
- 26. Organisms that eat living producers and/or other consumers for food
- 27. Organisms that produce their own food
Down
- 1. An abrupt and marked change in the DNA of an organism compared to that of its parents
- 2. The sum total of all processes in an organism which use energy and simple chemical building blocks to produce large chemicals and structures necessary for life
- 3. The process by which physical and biological characteristics are transmitted from the parent (or parents) to the offspring
- 5. Organisms that eat only plants
- 6. Reproduction that requires two organisms
- 8. Living creatures that are too small to see with the naked eye
- 9. Reproduction accomplished by a single organisms
- 11. Organisms that eat only organisms other than plants
- 13. Organisms that break down the dead remains of other organisms
- 15. A cell with distinct, membrane-bounded organelles
- 19. An educated guess that attempts to explain an observation or answer a question
- 20. Organisms that eat both plants and other organisms
- 21. The science of classifying organisms
- 23. Special structures that allow living organisms to sense the conditions of their internal or external environment
- 24. A hypothesis that has been tested with a significant amount of data
- 25. A unit of one or more populations of individuals that can reproduce under normal conditions, produce fertile offspring, and are reproductively isolated from other such units
