• from the body molecules of the plants they eat

• from the body molecules of the animals they eat

• both A and B.

• Neither A or B

• True

• False

How can you tell if an animal is growing in the simulation?

• Matter cubes are being added to the animal's body from the food matter it takes in.

• Matter cubes are not being added to the animal's body.

• Matter cubes are escaping the sim.

When animals eat food, they take in the body molecules of plants or other animals. Why is this done?

• They use them to build and grow their bodies and to release energy.

• They use them to build more food.

• They are not used for anything.

Check all that are true:

• Scientists synthesize ideas to help them come to a new understanding and to answer a question.

• When scientists are trying to answer a question, they may find a lot of information from different sources.

• Different sources include: books, investigations, models, and Simulations.

• Scientists don’t use ideas from just one source when you are trying to understand something.

Based on what happened in the Sim, what happens to the food molecules in an animal's body?

• Some are used to make body molecules

• Some are released as energy that helps the animal move

• Some are released as energy that helps the animal grow

• Some are used for toys
