- 5. An organelle found in plant cells that captures energy from sunlight.
- 7. The process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
- 9. Theory: The fundamental scientific theory that all living things are composed of cells.
- 11. Cells: Cells that have a specific structure to perform a particular function (e.g., nerve cells vs. muscle cells).
- 12. A change in an organism’s environment that causes a response.
- 13. A bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.

- 1. The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
- 2. The sum of all chemical reactions that occur within a living organism.
- 3. The process by which organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.
- 6. The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose and oxygen.
- 8. The diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane.
