- 9. A molecule that organisms can use to release energy, and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms
- 11. Something that results from a process, the thing that leaves something to end a reaction
- 12. The tiny pieces that all matter—all the stuff in the world—is made of
- 14. The chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells
- 15. An organism that gets energy storage molecules (such as glucose) by breaking down dead matter
Down
- 1. Something that is required for a process, it's the thing that goes into something that starts a reaction
- 2. A molecule that organisms can use to release the energy they need to survive
- 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 made of carbon and oxygen atoms
- 6. A type of atom (a tiny piece) that makes up molecules such as carbon dioxide and energy storage molecules
- 7. The ability to make things move or change
- 8. Matter matter that makes up the living and dead organisms in an ecosystem
- 10. An organism that needs to eat in order to get energy storage molecules
- 13. An organism that can make its own energy storage molecules (such as glucose)
