3. The process by which certain bacteria use chemicals to produce energy, rather than relying on sunlight for energy (as in photosynthesis)
5. An organism that obtains its food by consuming other organisms or organic matter
6. The innermost space of a mitochondrion, where the citric acid cycle and other metabolic processes occur
11. An organism that produces its own food through processes such as photosynthesis or chemosynthesis
13. The fluid-filled space outside of the thylakoid membranes in a chloroplast where the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis occurs
14. An organism that consumes both plants and animals

1. oxygen to carry out metabolic processes
4. An organism that feeds on decaying organic matter
7. The membrane that surrounds the stroma and grana of a chloroplast or the matrix of a mitochondrion
8. Not requiring oxygen to carry out metabolic processes
9. The stacks of disk-like structures in chloroplasts where the light reactions of photosynthesis take place
