Photosynthesis
The way which plants make food is called photosynthesis
To make food they need a green dye called chlorophyll. This is why plants are green
Movement
Animals can move from place to place
~ Plants do not move, they move when they grow or when a flower opens and closes its petals
Respiration
Respiration is the way living things get energy. They take in oxygen and mix it with food to get energy
Sensitivity
~ Sensitivity is the ability to react to changes in the environment. Animals will run away from danger, a plant will grow towards light.
Feeding
~ Animals do not make their own food. They get their food by eating plants and other animals. Plants make their own food.
