grayfalcon89 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I came across this long word in my crossword assignment. Interestingly, I can't find this answer anywhere in the book while I got all the other ones without even looking it up. Explanation: Fungi and prokaryotes that "eat" dead plant and animal matter Answer is 11 letter word which is like this: _ e _ _ _ p _ s _ _ s Thank you!

grayfalcon89 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Oh man. I can't believe I didn't consider that! I guess taking chemistry for one year and no study of biology has destroyed my memory of simple term. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
