4. Light energy from the sun Carbon dioxide from the animals
Oxygen from the plants
Carbon dioxide from the animals
Food
Water from the roots

6. _______ Animal life processes
1. Feeding
Animals need food to survive.
Plants store energy in the food they produce.
When animals eat the food the energy transfers to the animal.
2. Moving
The energy we get from food, makes it possible for us to move.

7. 3. Growing
Plants use the energy to grow their leaves, stems, etc.
Animals also use the energy to grow.
4. Sensing the environment
We have 5 senses
Without the energy from food we will not be able to use our senses to the best of our abilities.

8. 5. Breathing
We inhale oxygen that combines with the sugar to produce energy.
6. Excreting.
Water and carbon dioxide are by- products of the body’s processes and must be excreted.

9. 7. Reproducing
Something all animals do to ensure their species do not die out.
It takes place in different ways, some lay eggs and others have babies.
Animals need energy for reproduction.
