Across
- 3. organisms use light energy to make their food
- 5. organisms use energy in inorganic molecules to make food
- 7. Environmental resource owned or used by many people
- 14. bacteria in the soil/plant roots that capture nitrogen gases from the environment and convert it into a form plants can use
- 15. loss of forest by human removal
- 17. type of carbon in living things
- 19. uses carbon dioxide hydrogen & a little ATP from the LDR to make carbohydrates (glucose)
- 20. the ability to do work
- 23. rate producer organisms make organic matter
- 24. Organisms that make their own food/energy
- 26. scarce or very slowly cycling nutrient
- 28. molecules that usually lack carbon; simple and are not normally found in living things
- 30. respiration: organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell
- 31. process that began 12,000 years ago when humans started settling in one area

Down
- 1. tiny organelles containing chlorophyll where photosynthesis occurs.
- 2. Sunlight energy is converted to chemical energy for use by the cell
- 4. Primary energy source for heterotrophic life
- 6. when productive areas where farming happens or lots of plants grow are turned into deserts
- 8. Organelle that breaks down sugars to produce usable energy for cell
- 9. light energy is converted to chemical energy (ATP) by splitting water molecules into Oxygen and hydrogen; oxygen is released
- 10. resource that cannot be replaced naturally in human lifetime
- 11. resource that can regenerate & is replaceable in a human lifetime
- 12. the advancement of technology that doubled global food production
- 13. Total amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced or caused by an organization, event, product or individual
- 16. When any common resource available to all humans is destroyed or overused because no one is responsible for the resource’s management
- 18. water is taken up by a plant which slowly releases the water back into the environment
- 21. molecules built around chains of carbon atoms.
- 22. sunlight is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases and warms the planet
- 25. a sudden or immediate increase in the growth of algae
- 27. wearing away of surface soil by wind & water due to removed plants
- 29. amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius
