- 7. a green pigment in chloroplasts that captures light energy to make sugars during photosynthesis
- 9. an organism which must eat other organisms for energy
- 11. the amount of matter in something
- 12. the process by which organisms convert sugar into usable energy using oxygen as a reactant

- 16. radiant energy that heats
- 17. the movement of water up through the roots and out of the leaves of a plant
- 19. the process by which water changes from a vapor to a liquid due to decreased particle motion (loss of heat)
Down
- 1. the organelle where cellular respiration takes place
- 3. food in the form of sugar or starch
