Light energy can also be called

• radiant energy

• moon energy

• solar energy

What would happen if you put a plant in a container that was sealed?

• it would need more water

• the amount of oxygen in the container would increase because of photosynthesis

• the amount of carbon dioxide would increase

• nothing would happen

Because most plants can make their own food energy, they are called

• producers

• consumers

Leaves take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. How does this process work for animals?

• animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide

• animals do not need oxygen

• animals take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen
