Matter and Energy in Ecosystems

3. something that results from a process
5. a starting substance that is part of a chemical reaction
9. the ability to make things move or change
11. living things, such as plants, animals, and bacteria
15. matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, and rocks
16. the part of a cell where photosynthesis happens
17. to link two or more things
18. matter matter that makes up the living and dead organisms in an ecosystem
19. something that is required for a process
20. a type of energy storage molecule
22. a group of atoms joined together in a particular way
23. all the living and nonliving things interacting in a particular area
25. he process by which plants and other producers use energy from sunlight to change carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose
26. a closed ecosystem made by humans
27. an organism that can make its own energy storage molecules

1. a type of energy storage molecule
2. the part of a cell where cellular respiration happens
4. the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells
6. a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy they need to survive
7. an ending substance that is made during a chemical reaction
8. a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole
10. a molecule that organisms can use to release energy, and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms
12. a type of energy storage molecule made of many glucose molecules connected together
13. a molecule made of carbon and oxygen atoms
14. a type of atom (a tiny piece) that makes up molecules such as carbon dioxide and energy storage molecules
17. an organism that needs to eat in order to get energy storage molecules (such as starch and fat)
21. an organism that gets energy storage molecules (such as glucose) by breaking down dead matter
24. the tiny pieces that all matter - all the stuff in the world - is made of
