Can produce their own food.
Through photosynthesis using: light,

water, carbon dioxide.

Named producers, first level in a

food chain.

Photosynthesis Carbon dioxide +

Process by which plants

water + sunlight
make their own food .

1. Carbon dioxide from the air passes through small pores

( holes ) in the leaves
2. Water is absorbed by the roots and passes the stem on
its way to the leaves
3. Sunlight is absorbed by the leaves .
4. Glucose ( energy ) is formed .
5. Oxygen comes of the plant .
Functions of the parts of the plant in

photosynthesis
Flower : Makes seeds to continue life

cycle .
Stem : Transports water , minerals and

food through the plant

Leaves : Absorb sunlight and carbon

dioxide to make food.

Roots : Absorb water and mineral from

the soil.
 Daily use of energy

Domestic use: Watching television , washing clothes,

light the house , etc.

Commercial use: Cooling , lightning , computers ,

phones , copiers .
Transportation use: Fuel , electric .
 Types of energy
Solar: It comes from the sun's radiation
Magnetic: It lets metal objects attract to each other
Electric : It is generated by the movement of electrons as

electricity.
Nuclear : Atoms of a radioactive substance break apart.
Sound : It is produced by vibrating bodies in sound.
Wind : It is produced by wind.
Geothermal : It is produced from the heat of the interior

of the earth
Hydraulics : It is produced by the force of water.
 Uses of energy
Solar Light: is used to see and heat to dry clothes.
Chemistry: Batteries such as in telephones.
Magnetic: Compasses and door locks.
Electric: Electrical equipment like refrigerator
Nuclear: Generate electricity and radiotherapy .
Sound: Communication and music .
Wind: Generate electricity and move bodieke sailing

Geothermal: Heat water and generate electicity .

Hydraulics: Generate electricity .
