Across
- 5. making new living things (offspring) so that a species can continue to exist, like when plants make seeds or animals have babies.
- 6. when a living organism moves itself (or part of itself) from one place to another.
- 7. taking in food and using it for energy, growth, and repair, such as animals eating plants or other animals, and plants making their own food.
Down
- 1. the ability to notice and respond to changes in the environment, such as plants growing toward light or animals running away from danger.
- 2. getting rid of waste products (like carbon dioxide or urine) that living things produce but don’t need, to keep their bodies healthy.
- 3. the process of breaking down food to release energy that living things need to move, grow, and stay alive (not the same as breathing).
- 4. when living things get bigger in size or increase in the number of cells, like a seed turning into a tree or a baby animal becoming an adult.
- 8. something that is living, or was once living but is now dead.
