6th - Block 5 - Living Things Are Sources Of Nutrients
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.

- 10. They manufacture theirown 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 organicmatter 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.
