  1. 3. autotrophic, beginning stage of food web/energy level, photosynthesis, chemotroph
  2. 5. bacteria is needed to convert nitrogen gas into ammonia for plant absorption
  3. 6. activity in the lithosphere/ground that impacts other parts of earth, earthquake, volcanoes
  4. 7. coding for proteins and genetic material
  5. 9. Greenhouse Gas, CO2, absorbs energy, allows temperature to increase, from fossil fuels
  6. 13. analogy of how gases absorb energy in atmosphere resulting in heating our atmosphere
  7. 15. matter moves through various processes, not created or destroyed but changes or transfers
  8. 16. protecting habitat or food source
  9. 17. energy from sun, electromagnetic, light, sunlight, radio waves
  10. 19. process of converting nitrate (NO3) to nitrogen gas (N2) to allow N2 enter the atmosphere
  11. 20. heterotrophic, obtaining energy from ingesting other organisms
Down
  1. 1. ritual to attack mate and/or communicate with other organisms
  2. 2. energy that is from chemical reactions or stored within compounds/elements
  3. 3. proteins are made from DNA converting to RNA in the ribosomes
  4. 4. obtain energy from sun light or water by itself
  5. 8. releases sulfur dioxide and heat, causes acid rain when SO2 mixes with water
  6. 10. scent or chemical released to communicate with other organisms
  7. 11. relationship between two organisms, prey is eaten by predator
  8. 12. thermal energy within object, usually a by product of other energy transfers, “wasted energy”
  9. 14. obtain energy from other organisms, herbivores, omnivore, carnivores
  10. 18. obtain energy from chemical reactions such as carbon dioxide
