C. Answer the questions about the text "Animals and Plants". 1) What do living things include? 2) Can we say that we know all the plants and animals that live on our planet? 3) In what way are plants and animals different? 4) Why is it not always true? 5) The text says that some plants are small and some are very big. Is that true about animals? Can you give examples? 6) Why can't we live without plants and animals? In what ways do we use them? 7) Why is oxygen that plants "breathe out" so important for people?

• 1) What do living things include? Living things include plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria.
• 2) Can we say that we know all the plants and animals that live on our planet? No, we cannot say that we know all the plants and animals that live on our planet. There are still many species to be discovered and studied.
• 3) In what way are plants and animals different? Plants are different from animals in that plants are autotrophs, meaning they produce their own food through photosynthesis, while animals are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain food by consuming other organisms. Additionally, plants have cell walls made of cellulose, while animal cells do not.
• 4) Why is it not always true? It is not always true because generalizations can be misleading due to the diversity within plant and animal kingdoms. For instance, not all plants are green and not all animals have the same type of movement or diet.
• 5) The text says that some plants are small and some are very big. Is that true about animals? Can you give examples? Yes, that is true about animals. Examples include:
  • Small animals: ants, bees, mice.
  • Big animals: elephants, whales, giraffes.
• 6) Why can't we live without plants and animals? In what ways do we use them? We can't live without plants and animals because they provide us with essential resources, such as food, oxygen, medicine, and materials for shelter and clothing.
• 7) Why is oxygen that plants "breathe out" so important for people? Oxygen that plants "breathe out" (release as a byproduct of photosynthesis) is essential for people because we need it for cellular respiration, the process that provides us with energy to live.
