Across
  1. 2. an organism that needs to eat in order to get energy storage molecules (such as starch and fat)
  2. 3. an ending substance that is made during a chemical reaction
  3. 4. a closed ecosystem made by humans
  4. 5. the part of a cell where cellular respiration happens
  5. 9. Matter matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, and rOCKS
  6. 10. living things, such as plants, animals, and bacteria
  7. 11. all the living and nonliving things interacting in a particular area
  8. 13. Dioxide a molecule made of carbon and oxygen atoms (CO2)
  9. 15. a sugar molecule that organisms can use to release energy, and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms (C6H12O6)
Down
  1. 1. the process by which plants and other producers use energy from sunlight to change carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose (an energy storage molecule)
  2. 2. the part of a cell where photosynthesis happens
  3. 3. an organism that can make its own energy storage molecules (such as glucose)
  4. 6. an organism that gets energy storage molecules by breaking down dead matter
  5. 7. a type of energy storage molecule
  6. 8. Matter matter that makes up the living and dead organisms in an ecosystem
  7. 12. Respiration the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells
  8. 13. a type of atom (a tiny piece) that makes up molecules such as carbon dioxide and energy storage molecules
  9. 14. a starting substance that is part of a chemical reaction
