Across
  1. 3. 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. 6. a small part that is meant to show what the whole is like
  3. 9. the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells
  4. 10. the part of a cell where photosynthesis happens
  5. 11. the ability to make things move or change
  6. 12. a substance, object, or organism that has mass (like weight) and volume (takes up space)
  7. 14. a population that eats organisms from another population
  8. 17. something that is required for a process
  9. 18. a group of the same type of organism living in the same area
  10. 19. a group of organisms of the same kind (in one or more populations) that do not reproduce with organisms from any other group
  11. 20. a model that shows that eats what in an ecosystem
  12. 24. a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole
  13. 25. when something stays mostly the same over time
  14. 26. a type of atom that makes up molecules such as carbon dioxide and energy storage molecules
  15. 28. the process of creating offspring
  16. 31. a type of energy storage molecule
  17. 32. matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, and rocks
  18. 33. a type of energy storage molecule
  19. 34. the part of a cell where cellular respiration happens
Down
  1. 1. a closed ecosystem made by humans
  2. 2. a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy they need to survive
  3. 4. a molecule that organisms can use to release energy, and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms
  4. 5. something that results from a process
  5. 6. a type of energy storage molecule made of many glucose molecules connected together
  6. 7. a population that is eaten by organisms form another population
  7. 8. an organism that gets energy storage molecules (such as glucose) by breaking down dead matter
  8. 13. a molecule made of carbon and oxygen atoms
  9. 15. an organism that can make it own energy storage molecules (such as glucose)
  10. 16. an organism that needs to eat in order to get energy storage molecules (such as starch and fat)
  11. 21. living things, such as plants, animals, and bacteria
  12. 22. matter that makes up the living and dead organisms in an ecosystem
  13. 23. all the living and nonliving things interacting in a particular area
  14. 27. an ending substance that is made during a chemical reaction
  15. 29. a scientist who studies the interactions of organisms with each other and their environment
  16. 30. a starting substance that is part of a chemical reaction
