Transcript Where do plants get energy?

Gr. 5 Unit A-1
Comparing Living Things
Is It Living or Nonliving?
ALL living things carry out the six basic life processes.
What are the six life processes?
•
•
•
•
•
•
Respond to changes
Remove wastes
Get energy
Use energy
Grow
Reproduce
Where do plants get energy?
Sunlight
Where do plants get nutrients?
Soil and water
How do animals get energy and nutrients?
They consume other living things.
Hello dear Deer!
Would you like to

How is waste produced?
• The breakdown of food and the use of energy
cause waste.
• can be poisonous
Plants produce Oxygen as
waste during
photosynthesis.
Humans produce Carbon
Dioxide as waste during
respiration.
How might an animal respond if cornered or
threatened?
Gee, he looks
upset. I think I’ll go
now!
What is a cell?
• The basic unit of a living organism
• All living things are made of cells.
EGG: Compare to a cell.

Name two living things that are
one single cell.
A bacterium
An amoeba
What are bacteria?
tiny one-celled organisms
They may be helpful or cause diseases.
Some bacteria change milk into
_____________
cheese
and ___________________.
yogurt
What is a virus?
a tiny particle that can reproduce only inside the
cells of living things.
Most scientists don’t think viruses
are living things because:
•

processes
They can’t carry out all of the __________________.
reproduce
They can only _________________
inside living cells.
grow
They don’t _______
the way living things do.
energy
They can’t release and use _______________.

Nucleus
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Vacuoles
Mitochondria
Chromosomes
What part of the cell controls the
activities of the cell?
Nucleus

What is the thin layer that makes up the
outside of the cell and controls what enters
and leaves the cell?
Cell membrane
What is the jellylike substance around
the nucleus that fills most of the cell?
Cytoplasm
Click on the picture to learn more about cytoplasm.
What do mitochondria do?
MIGHTY Mitochondria release energy
from food.
What is a vacuole?
Cell structures that store:
• FOOD
• WATER
• WASTE
What are the threadlike structures that
contain information about plant and animal
characteristics?
Chromosomes
What two things do plant cells have
that animal cells don’t have?
Cell wall
Chloroplasts
Click here.
Plant cells have a stiff outer layer that
helps keep the plant cells firm called a
Cell wall
What are chloroplasts?
the green cell part that traps and uses light
energy
Why don’t animal cells need
chloroplasts?
Animals don’t need light energy to make food.
They are consumers.
Would a plant’s root cells contain
chloroplasts?
No. Roots are
underground and
bring water and
minerals into a
plant. There is no
sunlight
underground.
Stop and Think:
• Do you think chloroplasts could be found on plants that
don’t grow in soil?
• How might you develop an experiment to find out?
Why don’t all cells look alike?
• Different cells have different jobs.
What is the function of the red blood cell?
• Carry oxygen
• Remove waste
How is a mature red blood cell different
from most other cells?
No nucleus
Cells work together to form:
Tissues work together to form:
Organs
Organs work together to form:
Body Systems
