Across
- 3. the breakdown of glucose by using oxygen in order to produce lots of ATP (energy)
- 4. the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by a person or organization's actions
- 7. the breakdown of glucose without oxygen in order to produce a little ATP (energy)
- 11. the movement of carbon between the organisms, atmosphere, oceans, and soil
- 12. an organism that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals to produce food
- 13. carbon transferred to the soil and atmosphere via the decay (rotting) of a dead organism
- 16. Carbon can move between water and air
Down
- 1. gases are creating a curtain around the Earth trapping sunlight in the atmosphere, which keeps the earth warm
- 2. non-renewable energy sources that are formed from the buried remains of prehistoric plants and animals
- 5. different processes organisms use to make energy
- 6. chief pigment of photosynthesis
- 8. carbon transferred to a consumer when an organism is eaten
- 9. burning of fossil fuels leading to carbon being released in atmosphere
- 10. organisms that must eat to obtain food for energy
- 14. biological process that harnesses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into energy rich glucose
- 15. the gradual increase of greenhouse gases (especially carbon dioxide) increases the greenhouse effect, which increases the average global temperature
