Down
  1. 1. a type of energy storage molecule
  2. 2. the part of a cell where cellular respiration happens
  3. 4. the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells
  4. 6. a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy they need to survive
  5. 7. an ending substance that is made during a chemical reaction
  6. 8. a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole
  7. 10. a molecule that organisms can use to release energy, and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms
  8. 12. a type of energy storage molecule made of many glucose molecules connected together
  9. 13. a molecule made of carbon and oxygen atoms
  10. 14. a type of atom (a tiny piece) that makes up molecules such as carbon dioxide and energy storage molecules
  11. 17. an organism that needs to eat in order to get energy storage molecules (such as starch and fat)
  12. 21. an organism that gets energy storage molecules (such as glucose) by breaking down dead matter
  13. 24. the tiny pieces that all matter - all the stuff in the world - is made of
