Plant Energy
GLE 0507.3.1 Demonstrate how all
living things rely on the process of
photosynthesis to obtain energy.
Chlorophyll

A green coloring that helps a plant
use the sun’s light energy
Consumer

An animal that eats plants, other
animals, or both
Decomposer

A consumer that gets food energy
from dead plants and animals
Producer

A living thing, such as a plant,
that makes its own food
Transpiration

The loss of water through leaves
Photosynthesis
The process plants use to make
food
 The process uses light energy,
water, and carbon dioxide
 What is Photosynthesis?

Ecosystem
An ecosystem is all the living
things in an area.
 It is also the environment in
which they live.

Food Chain

A food chain is the transfer of
food energy in an ecosystem.
Food Web

A food web shows the
relationship among food chains
Energy Pyramid

An energy pyramid shows how
much food energy is passed along
in a food chain
Carnivore

An animal that eats other animals
Herbivore

An animal that eats only plants
