Questions!

Plants need energy and matter to grow. Where do plants get their ENERGY?
Where do plants get their MATTER?
Where do plants get their FOOD (be careful - this is a trick question)?
Why are plants called Producers?
What would happen if plants didn't have a way to get energy?
What would happen to animals if there were no plants to eat?
What are some of the LIVING components of a plant "system"? (A plant "system" is everything that a plant needs to survive and everything it produces.)
What are some of the NON-LIVING components of a plant "system"?
In what ways do the components of the system interact?
What matter is transported in and out of the plant system?

Answers!

Plants need sunlight, soil, and water. Those forms of energy and matter help the plant grow.
Plants get their matter from energy there effects do the same thing and helps the plant grow.
Plants food is sunlight and carbon dioxide.
They are called producers because they produce so many things like flowers, leave and so much more.
They would srivel up and die.
Animals would not get any food and they will have to eat other animals there will not be those animals anymore.
The living componat is sunlight because sunlight is its food.
Water and soil becasue it can not grow without those two things.
They all go in the vanes of the plant and the plant gets it to were it needs to go.
It is trans ported through the plants vane. It gets out from the leaves.

Questions

Answers

On the human food label:

How do we find the energy (calories) per serving?
How do we find the matter (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals)?
Where can we locate the list of ingredients?

On the pet food label:

Where can we locate the list of ingredients?
How do we find the percentage of different types of matter in the food?

Questions

As a result of looking at food labels, what did you learn about food?
Look at the ingredients of one human food label. Write down the food name. What ingredients came from animals?
What ingredients in the above food label came from plants?
What similarities and differences did you notice between the human food and pet food labels you looked at?
Choose an animal/insect from the ecosystem walk. What do you think it eats? Explain what you think it gets from its food.

We look on the label to see what it tells us. Sometimes at the bottom most times but others it is at the top.
It says total fat so that can tell you if we should eat it.
On the back of the box or bag. It is usally a good size but the smaller pacaging you get the smaller label.
On the top of the label.
It says it and then has a bunch of dots and then the percentage.

Answers
