  1. 1. carbon-containing molecules, such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids that form the basis of life
  2. 4. short-term energy carrier; temporarily stores energy during photosynthesis
  3. 9. fluid connective tissue that circulates throughout the body through blood vessels
  4. 10. organic molecules, such as glucose, that organisms use for chemical energy
  5. 11. the simplest form of matter that has a unique set of properties
  6. 12. energy-carrying molecule that cells use to power their metabolic processes; provides the cell with an immediate usable form of energy
  7. 13. a biochemical process in which cells break down glucose and oxygen to make carbon dioxide, water, and ATP for energy
  8. 16. an individual living thing
  9. 17. part of a biogeochemical cycle that holds an element or water for a long period of time; for example, the atmosphere is a reservoir for carbon dioxide
  10. 19. green pigment in a chloroplast that absorbs light energy during the light reactions of photosynthesis
  11. 21. double-stranded nucleic acid that stores genetic information; also known as deoxyribonucleic acid
  12. 22. organic compound that supplies energy to the body, such as sugar and starch
  13. 23. the ability to do work
Down
  1. 2. simple sugar that all living things use to store and transport energy
  2. 3. sharing of electrons between two atoms that holds the atoms together
  3. 5. type of organism that uses light energy or chemical energy to make food for itself and other organisms
  4. 6. organic compound made up of amino acids
  5. 7. modified front legs, or forelimbs, that are adaptations for flight
  6. 8. sweet, sugary liquid produced by the flowers of many angiosperms to attract animal pollinators
  7. 14. aquatic, ectothermic vertebrate that is covered with scales and has gills to absorb oxygen from water
  8. 15. basic unit of structure and function of living things
  9. 18. an atom or group of bonded atoms that has a positive or negative charge
  10. 20. process in which cells use carbon dioxide, water, and light energy to make oxygen and glucose, an energy-storing sugar.
