Getting Energy
SLIDESMANIA
 How do Plants get
Energy?
Plants, like all living things,
need food to survive. Plants
are producers because they
make their own food. Plants
make their food using a
process called
photosynthesis, which
means "putting together
through light.“
Leaves contain green
substance called
chlorophyll that can traps
energy from sunlight during

photosynthesis.
It also takes up water
from its roots and
carbon dioxide gas
from the air. The plant
uses the Sun's energy
to convert water and
carbon dioxide into a
sugary substance
called glucose. The
plant uses the glucose
as a food to help it stay
alive and grow.
 This is how photosynthesis happen

need oxygen to live. Without enough water, the plant goes

floppy, or wilts.
- Roots suck up water and other nutrients from the soil.
 How do animals get energy?
Animals do not make
their own food. They get
their energy from the
food they eat. That’s why
we call them as
consumers, because they

Based on their food

consumption there are
three classification of
animals : herbivores,
carnivores, and
