Across
  1. 3. Total rate of photosynthesis in a given area
  2. 6. Living
  3. 7. ___ Productivity, create biomass by eating plants and being eaten (herbivores)
  4. 8. Hold the energy flow of the ecosystem in balance
  5. 14. C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
  6. 16. Organisms that must eat to get energy
Down
  1. 1. The study of relationships between living and nonliving things in an environment
  2. 2. The region of our planet where life resides, made up of many ecosystems
  3. 4. Energy is not created or destroyed under normal conditions
  4. 5. Non-living
  5. 9. Defined as the rate at which producers make USEFUL chemical energy
  6. 10. Use photosynthesis, turn sunlight into chemical energy
  7. 11. With each energy transfer, less energy is available to do work
  8. 12. 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy→ C6H12O6 + 6O2
  9. 13. Organisms that can create their own energy
  10. 15. The pathways of energy in an ecosystem
  11. 17. ___ Productivity, the basis for most other growth in the system (Photosythesis)
