Study Notes
Energy and Living Things
- Living things, such as hummingbirds, need energy to survive and perform daily activities like flying.
- Energy from the Sun is called solar energy.
How Plants Get Energy
- Plants make their own food using energy from the Sun, water, and air.
- This process allows plants to survive, grow, and produce new plants, flowers, or fruits.
- Plants store some of the energy they produce in their cells, which can be used when the Sun is not shining.
How Animals Get Energy
- Animals cannot make their own food and must get energy by eating other organisms or plants.
- When animals eat plants or other animals, energy is transferred from the food source to the animal.
- Not all energy from a plant is transferred to an animal that eats it; some energy is used by the plant for its survival.
Experiment: How Light Affects Plant Growth
- An experiment was conducted to compare the growth of grass seedlings in light and dark conditions.
- The results of the experiment can help us understand how light affects plant growth.
Key Concepts
- Energy is essential for the survival and growth of living things.
- Plants get energy from the Sun, water, and air to make food.
- Animals get energy by eating plants or other animals, transferring energy from one organism to another.
