Food/Plants are a source of energy and building materials for organisms
• A plant gets energy from the sun and it produces its own building
materials. This process is called photosynthesis.
• A plant is a source of food for some animals. When the animal eats
the plant, the energy and building materials are passed on. For those
animals that can’t eat plants—carnivores—they eat the plant eaters—
herbivores/omnivores—in order to get their energy.
Energy and building materials pass from one living thing to the next.
• Organisms get energy from the plants which get it from the sun. Organisms get
building materials from just plants because plants can produce their own building
materials.
