Some of the energy is used by the animal; the rest is stored in the animal's parts. This stored energy, which started in the plant, is then passed on when another animal eats the first animal. Thus, the energy that the squirrel got from eating the acoms is passed on to the wolf when it eats the squirrel. The energy that the cattle got when it ate the grass is passed on to the person when she or he eats the cattle as a hamburger. The ecosystem always starts with plants, which are called producers because they make food for the whole ecosystem. Animals and other organisms that get their food by eating other organisms are called consumers. 9 Escaneado con CamScannet| sd | ap Reading for a purposeq | at Skimming 1.

Those who study animal behavior say the range of animal emotions can extend well beyond rage and fear to include maternal love, joy and compassion. And they are using new technology, such as brain imaging to see similarities in the chemical reactions taking place in the brains of primates and humans. In fact, some researchers now believe that it was the evolving complexity of their emotions that has allowed mammals to become dominant on Earth. Without fear, animals wouldn’t run while being hunted. Without their mother’s love; babies wouldn't grow into adults. Without friendship, weaker animals would not su:vive. t = Statements by scientists and other experts Man has underestimated animals’ abilities to think, feel and learn.” Loretta Jones Throughout history, philosophers and ethicists have spoken about the importance of recognizing other animals’ feelings.
