  1. 5. type of nutrient that contains a combination of atoms other than carbon and hydrogen
  2. 6. prefer high salt content
  3. 9. requires a small amount of oxygen for metabolism
  4. 10. required in large quantities and have a role in cell structure and metabolism
  5. 14. "cold loving" and has an optimum temperature of below 15C
  6. 17. an organism that must obtain its carbin from organic molecules
  7. 18. ingestion of whole cells or large matter (eating)
  8. 19. an organism that gets carbon from CO2 and can make its own food
Down
  1. 1. ingestion of liquids such as oils or molecules in a solution (drinking)
  2. 2. present in smaller amounts and are involved in enzyme function and protein structure
  3. 3. type of nutrient that contains carbon and hydrogen
  4. 4. thrive in acidic environments
  5. 7. thrive in alkaline conditions
  6. 8. grow best at a higher CO2 amount
  7. 11. uses CO2 as carbon source and are able to synthesize their own organic food, found in deep sea
