Microbes
Across
- 5. Primary producers (phytoplankton) and consumers (zooplankton) that drift with the currents
- 7. Green, brown, or red organelles with layers of internal membranes that contain photosynthetic pigments
- 9. Organisms that can use energy (usually solar) to make organic matter
- 10. A statement about the world that might be true
- 12. Protozoans that have many hair-like cilia, which are used in locomotion and feeding.
- 14. Undersea hot springs associated with mid-ocean ridges and other geologically active environments
- 15. Organisms that manufacture organic matter from CO2, usually by photosynthesis
- 17. A methane-producing archaeon
- 18. A sequence of nucleotides in the DNA molecule that directs the production of a particular protein
- 19. Organisms with cells that contain a nucleus and other organelles that are enclosed by membranes
- 20. Particles of dead organic matter
Down
- 1. The complete genetic formation contained in the DNA of an organism
- 2. A complex carbohydrate characteristic of plants and other primary producers
- 3. Sediments made up of the skeletons and shells of marine organisms; siliceous ooze is made of silica, calcareous ooze of calcium carbonate
- 4. The molecule used to store and transfer energy in metabolic reactions
- 6. DNA and RNA, complex molecules that store and transmit genetic information
- 8. All the chemical reactions that take place in an organism
- 11. Organisms with cells that do not have a nucleus or most other organelles
- 13. Organisms that cannot make their own food and must use the organic matter produced by autotrophs
- 16. Made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
