All living things need nutrients to survive. Nutrients include proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and water. Plants produce their own food through photosynthesis, using energy from sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, and minerals from the soil to produce carbohydrates and starches. Animals obtain nutrients by consuming plants or other animals and breaking down food through digestion.

6. All living things need nutrients to survive. These are
essential substances that, together with oxygen, produce
the energy cells need to carry out vital activities.

7. Nutrients are found in:

8. Nutrients are found in:

10. They manufacture their own food through the process of
photosynthesis. They capture energy as sunlight, take water
and minerals from the soil, and use carbon dioxide and
chlorophyll from the chloroplasts inside plant cells to
produce organic compounds like glucose (sugar) and
starches, which are the basis of food chains.

12. They consume organic matter as food. They can feed on
plants or other living or dead animals. Animals distribute
nutrients to all body cells through the digestive process.
These cells perform cellular respiration, during which
nutrients are combined with oxygen to produce energy.
