Plants and Photosynthesis

Humans and animals eat plants. They give us the sugar they store as energy . Animals and humans get energy from eating other animals, too.

When living things die their energy does not disappear. Decomposers turn dead animals and plants into food for other plants. The energy moves in a circle, like in this picture.

Los seres humanos y los animales comen las plantas. Las plantas nos dan el azucar que guardan como energía. Los animales y los humanos obtienen energía cuando comen otras animales también. Cuando mueren los seres vivientes, la energía no se desaparece. Los decomponedores cambian animales y plantas muertas a comida por otras plantas. La energía se mueve en un círculo, como en el dibujo que está arriba.
