Across
  1. 1. anything written above or below the arrow, which speeds up the reaction
  2. 3. organisms that externally break down dead matter, then absorb nutrients
  3. 5. using chemical energy instead of light energy to make food
  4. 7. an organism that makes its own food
  5. 10. organisms that carry out photosynthesis to make their own food
  6. 12. organisms that consume only meat or other consumers (big cats, wolves)
  7. 14. substances on the right side of the arrow, ending materials
  8. 15. organisms that consume dead organisms or waste products
  9. 16. organisms that regularly eat both meat and plants (humans, bears)
  10. 18. organelle in plant cells that performs photosynthesis
  11. 20. consumers, organisms that cannot make their own food
  12. 22. producers, organisms that create their own food
Down
  1. 2. the site of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis
  2. 4. the conversion of inorganic carbon to organic carbon
  3. 6. organisms that produce carbohydrates by using the chemical energy
  4. 7. using light energy to create carbohydrate molecules that store chemical energy
  5. 8. an organism that obtains its energy by consuming other organisms
  6. 9. organisms that eat only plants for energy (deer, cows, many insects)
  7. 11. plants that survive by stealing water and nutrients from a host plant
  8. 13. the universal energy currency of the cell
  9. 17. the site of the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) in photosynthesis
  10. 19. the green pigment that captures light energy in photosynthesis
  11. 21. substances on the left side of the arrow, starting materials
