  9. 22. Anything that has mass and takes up space
  10. 25. Non-renewable, polluting resources formed from the remains of plants and animals
  11. 26. Process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
Down
  1. 1. The organic circulation of carbon from the atmosphere into organisms and back again
  2. 3. A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria
