Plants and animals are living things. All living things need food for energy. Without a way to get energy, they would die. Plants and animals get their food in different ways. A plant uses the energy in sunlight to make food for itself. Without sun or oxygen, small plants would not be able to grow into bigger plants. If you put a seed in the ground and give it water and energy from the sun, it will grow. It will grow into good food for other living things, mainly animals. Some animals,such as cows and pandas,eat plants.Some animals eat other animals. We call these animals carnivores. Still, plants feed all animals! How? Think of a tiger. The tiger eats animals that eat plants. Without plants, the tiger would have nothing to eat. 翻译：动植物都是生物。所有的生物都需要食物来提供能量。没有获取能量的方法，它们就会死。动植物用不同的方式来得到它们的食物。植物使用阳光所得到的能量来为自己制造养料。没有太阳或氧气，小植物就不能长成更大的植物。如果你把种子埋进土里，并给它提供水以及来自太阳的能量，它就会生长。它就会变成其他生物，主要是动物的美食。有些动物，如奶牛和熊猫，就吃植物。有些动物会吃其他动物。我们称这些动物为食肉动物。但是，植物喂养着所有的动物！怎么会呢？想想老虎吧。老虎吃那些以植物为食的动物。没有植物，老虎就没什么可吃的了。
