Across
- 6. is the process in your body that turns simple structures into more complex structures. It can happen within a single cell (or within a single organelle within a cell), or across multiple cells.
- 7. the process of eliminating or expelling waste matter.
- 9. is a kind of animal that eats either other animals or plants. (Dogs, Mice, Turtles, Lizards, Ants, etc.)
- 10. to continue to exist, and not to fail or be destroyed.
- 11. are animal that gets food from killing and eating other animals. (Sharks, Spiders, Tigers, Owls, etc.)
- 13. responsible for gas exchange called respiration.
- 14. Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound composed of one carbon and two oxygen atoms (needed by plants).
- 15. are tiny openings or pores in plant tissue that allow for gas exchange. Stomata also allow a plant to take in carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis.
- 17. is an important organic compound in metabolism and is essential to the flow of energy in living cells. (has 2 phosphate groups)
- 19. they cannot build their food inside themselves and intake from other plants or animals.
- 20. a colorless, odorless reactive gas (needed by animals and humans).
- 21. is a condition in which something takes in another substance
- 23. is a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
- 24. the breakdown of complex molecules in living organisms to form simpler ones, together with the release of energy; destructive metabolism.
- 25. provides energy for vital processes and for synthesizing new organic material.
Down
- 1. providing energy for the process of photosynthesis to occur.
- 2. which the plant collects through its roots.
- 3. they prepare their own food for themselves, and also provides some of it to other organisms.
- 4. is the energy currency of life. ATP is a high-energy molecule found in every cell. Its job is to store and supply the cell with needed energy. (has 3 phosphate groups)
- 5. delivers substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
- 8. are mainly sugars and starches that the body breaks down into glucose.
- 12. the absorption and digestion of food or nutrients by the body or any biological system.
- 16. are animals that only eat plants. (Sheep, Cow, Deer, Camel etc.)
- 18. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
- 22. respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.
