Plants make their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.

The process where plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.

A green pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

Animals cannot make their own food and rely on other organisms for nutrition.

The process in animals that breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and eliminates waste.

Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down food, while chemical digestion uses enzymes to break down food molecules.

Carbohydrates provide energy, proteins are essential for building tissues, lipids provide insulation and store energy, vitamins and minerals support various metabolic functions.

Respiration is the process where living organisms break down food molecules to release energy in the form of ATP.

The process by which plants transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant using specialized tissues called xylem.

The process by which plants transport sugars produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant using specialized tissues called phloem.

The loss of water from the leaves by evaporation, which plays a significant role in water transport.

The system that transports substances throughout the body, consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.

The removal of metabolic waste products from the body.

A growth response in plants caused by a stimulus. For example, phototropism is the growth response to light.

The movement of animals using muscles and skeletons, coordinated by the nervous system.

The system of nerves and the brain that coordinates and controls bodily functions.
