1. It can be traced because everybody eats the producers in a way, and the producers actually get the energy from the sun, and we the producers we eat give us matter.

​

1. Plants need energy and matter to grow. Where do plants get their ENERGY?
2. Where do plants get their MATTER?
3. Where do plants get their FOOD (be careful - this is a trick question)?
4. Why are plants called Producers?
5. What would happen if plants didn't have a way to get energy?
6. What would happen to animals if there were no plants to eat?
7. 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.)
8. What are some of the NON-LIVING components of a plant "system"?
9. In what ways do the components of the system interact?
10. What matter is transported in and out of the plant system?

1. They get their energy from the Sun, Water and some more things. This is called photosynthesis.
​2. They get their matter from air like carbon dioxide, but they let out oxygen. The matter helps the plants with growth.
3. They get their food, but get energy from the sun and water.
4. Plants are called producers because they don't need food to get energy, instead they make their own energy from the Sun.
5. They would die (the plants) and everything would happen the same way as it did it in answer 6.
6. The animals would die because they wouldn't get to eat the herbivores, so they would die because they don't have anything to eat and all the species in the world would die.
7. The soil is almost living because its made up of dead plants and animals which used to be living which was then spread out by Earthworms (which are actually living).
8. The sun isn't living and gives the plants energy and same with the water except the water helps the plants by not letting them get too dry.
9. The water goes into the soil where the plants then drink it and the sun evaporates the water.
​10. Its air, which is a gas. It gets transported in the plant (carbon dioxide) and also goes out of the plant (oxygen).

1. I did a simple and common food chain with the plants, rabbits and an eagle. This system works with the animals eating each other and the plants getting their energy from the sun.
2. yes, because the system is all of the animals (and plants) getting energy from either plants are other animals so they get energy and the population is stable.
3. the population of the animal it has been eating would get out of hand and soon there would not be anything to eat because the animals ate everything.
4. they get it with calcium and calories from the food they eat. The more you go in the food chain, the less calories/energy the animal gets from eating.
5. They get it from the animal which ate the plant which got the energy they got from the sun which provides warmth.
6. It either stores as fat and you gain weight or you poop it out maybe.
