Almost
all energy comes from the sun which warms our planet and makes plants
grow.
|
Plants
are smart because they can use the sun’s energy not only to make
them grow, but also to make energy   stores.
|
|
 |
Most
plants make seeds, some of which grow into new plants. And animals
like you humans eat them - you know, wheat seeds make into bread;
maize into popcorn or cornflakes and so on. This means you get your
energy from eating plants, or by eating other animals like cows
which have fed off plants. |
|
 I
get my energy from eating fish...
|
...which
ate smaller fish which ate shrimpy things...
...which
ate (you got it!) tiny plants called plankton. |
 |
This
is called a  food web or food chain. |
 Our
 waste products eventually all go back to plants where they start the
cycle again, fuelled by energy from the sun.
