glucose carbon dioxide oxygen
respiration water

1. the release of energy in living things is called ____________.
2. respiration links up the simple sugar, __________, with the gas, __________.
3. the waste products of respiration are __________, __________.
4. most of the energy released during respiration is used for the ____________.
5. the food - making process of plants is called ____________.
6. the products that chemically link up during photosynthesis are __________ and __________.

reaching out

1. a plant makes its own food (glucose). plants also make other nutrients. these nutrients are made of glucose, water, and minerals. how does a plant get minerals? ____________
2. algae have chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis. how do algae get their food? (hint: you can look back at lesson 22 if you need help.) ____________

Explanation:

1. Plants absorb minerals through their roots from the soil.
2. Algae, like plants, use chlorophyll to carry out photosynthesis to make their own food from carbon - dioxide, water and sunlight.
