  4. 2. Nutrition • All living things need food this process is called NUTRITION • Most Green Plants make their own food from sunlight in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS

  5. 2. Nutrition • All animals must eat food to get their energy • Carnivores – eat only other animals • Herbivores – eat only plants • Omnivores – Eat both animals and plants

  6. 3. Respiration • Plants and Animals need oxygen gas to release energy from food in a process called RESPIRATION • Animals get their oxygen by breathing in and out

  17. Invertebrates • Invertebrates are animals which have no backbone • In fact they have no bones at all!
