Across
  1. 3. the process that moves carbon between plants, animals, and microbes; minerals in the earth; and the atmosphere
  2. 7. The total amount of greenhouse gases that are generated by our actions
  3. 8. the intermingling of substances by the natural movement of their particles.
  4. 11. having an osmotic pressure higher than that of an isotonic solution.
  5. 12. the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.
  6. 14. a simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.
  7. 15. the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane
  8. 16. the state when two solutions have equal concentration of solutes across a semipermeable membrane
  9. 17. the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere
  10. 18. the significant variation of average weather conditions becoming, for example, warmer, wetter, or drier—over several decades or longer
  11. 19. A chemical process that occurs in plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, when they are exposed to sunlight.
Down
  1. 1. the biogeochemical cycle that describes the transformation and translocation of phosphorus
  2. 2. a colorless, odorless, gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere
  3. 4. the process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen gas to produce energy from food
  4. 5. a colorless, odorless gas found in our atmosphere. Its chemical formula is CO2,
  5. 6. a naturally occurring phenomenon and does not require the cell to expend energy to accomplish the movement.
  6. 9. a biogeochemical process through which nitrogen is converted into many forms
  7. 10. the process in which incomplete oxidation of glucose occurs in the absence of oxygen.
  8. 11. having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
  9. 13. the long-term heating of Earth's surface
