5. an organism that must obtain its carbon from organic molecules like Glucose
9. important for certain types of cell transport
13. uses light energy and contain chlorophyll
15. any substance that MUST be provided to an organism
16. an organism that gets carbon from C02 & makes its own food
19. present much SMALLER amounts and are in enzyme function and maintenance of protein structure
