Animals and Plants.
Kolesnikova Masha 8«D»
As scientists say,
an animal is any
living
thing(including
people)that is not
a plant.No one
knows how many
different species
of wild plants and
animals there are
on our planet.
People discover
hundreds of new
kinds every year.In
what way are
animals different
from plants?This
question is not
always easy to
answer.
Animals and plants
get their food
differently:animals eat
plants or other
animals,while plants
get their food from
the air and soil with
the help of their
leaves and roots.But
we know that some
plants catch and “eat”
insects.
Also animals can
move about while
plants grow in the
place but there are
some plants that can
travel and some
animals that never
leave their place.As
you see plants and
animals have very
much in common.
There are more than
300,000 different
species of plants on
earth.Some plants
grow very tall and
live a very long life.
Other plants are so
tiny that you can see
them only through a
microscope.
The same is true
about
animals.You can
find plants and
animals is the
oceans and
deserts,in
mountains and in
cold tundra
plains.
When people
first learned to
cultivate plants
and domesticate
animals,our
civilization
began.We can’t
live without
them.
Plants are able to
use sunlight to
build themselves
up.They use
carbon dioxide gas
and “breathe out”
life-giving oxygen.
They support life
on the planet.
