SECTION 1C: ANIMALS, PLANTS AND MICRO-ORGANISMS
Through photosynthesis plants use the sun’s energy to make food, which is stored in the form of carbohydrates. At the same time, they replenish the supply of oxygen in the atmosphere and remove carbon dioxide. Plants have systems that enable them to function and survive, and to respond to their environment. Competition and interdependence occur within an ecosystem.
