Down
- 1. the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells
- 3. the process by which plants and other producers use energy from sunlight to change carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose (an energy storage molecule)
- 4. a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy needed to survive
- 5. the result of one cause leading to an effect that causes one or more other effects
- 6. a type of atom (a tiny piece) that makes up molecules such as carbon dioxide and energy storage molecules
