1. PLANTS ARE LIVING THINGS
As animals and human beings, plants are living things..
Some characteristics are:
•
Plants make their own food. They use their roots to take
water and minerals from the soil and, with the sunlight,
they make food in their leaves.
•
They do not have sense organs.
•
They do not move.
•
They are usually green and are divided into root, stem
and leaves.
•
Plants also reproduce. Plants are born from other plants.

Plants
Plants are living things but they cannot walk, or run, or play. Plants can’t move. Plants
can’t talk, or sing, or communicate in any way.
Plants can do one thing that we can’t do. They can make their own food! Plants only need
water, soil, space, light and air. With these things, they can feed themselves very well.
Plants help us in many ways. They produce oxygen that we need to breathe and give us
healthy food to eat.

3. HOW PLANTS MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD?
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Most plants produce their own, using energy from the sun. This
is
known
as
photosynthesis.
These
plants
are
called
producers, because they produce their own food. A very small
number of plants are carnivorous. At least some of their
nutrients come from small animals.
A very small number
of
plants
are
carnivorous
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce
their own food using energy from the Sun.
Plants use the light energy from the Sun to combine
water and carbon dioxide into glucose, or sugar, which the
plants use as food. Then, oxygen is released.
Plants need sunlight, water
and carbon dioxide to do
the photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce their own food using
energy from the Sun.

dioxide into glucose, or sugar, which the plants use as food. Then, oxygen is

Stamens and the ovary are in the middle of the flower.
They are very important for the reproduction of plants.
•
Sepals are the small green leaves. They protect the
flower. All the sepals together are the calyx.
•
Petals are the coloured parts of the flower. All the petals
