Across
  1. 2. what cells do to break up sugars to get energy they can use
  2. 6. the process by which phosphorus moves through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere
  3. 7. biological mechanisms whereby homeostasis is maintained(cycles of matter)
  4. 8. the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute con
  5. 9. the net movement of anything from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
  6. 10. the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration
  7. 14. a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's metabolic activities
  8. 15. a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6
  9. 17. a chemical compound composed of two hydrogen and one oxygen
  10. 18. biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among atmosphere, terrestri
  11. 20. having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid
Down
  1. 1. a chemical compound composed of one carbon and two oxygen atoms
  2. 3. has the symbol O and atomic number 8
  3. 4. when its effective osmole concentration is the same as that of another solution
  4. 5. a type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes
  5. 11. having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid
  6. 12. how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in cloud
  7. 13. a simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates
  8. 16. the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere
  9. 19. both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns
