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