Reference Guide
What Animals Need
- Food: provides energy for movement and growth.
- Water: keeps cells working and regulates temperature.
- Shelter: protection from weather and predators.
- Air: animals breathe oxygen to produce energy.
- Space: room to find food, raise young, and live.
What Plants Need
- Sunlight: energy source for making food through photosynthesis.
- Water: absorbed through roots, carries nutrients up the stem.
- Air: plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
- Space: roots need room to spread and leaves need light.
