Model Steps:
1. Water goes up plant’s roots.

2. Plant sucks the water up to its leaves.

3. Plant uses sunlight to separate water molecule.

4. Plant breathe out the oxygen gas, holding the hydrogen protons.

5. Animal breathes in the Oxygen.

6. Animal breaths out Carbon Dioxide.

7. Plant breaths in Carbon Dioxide

8. Plant mixes CO2 with the H to make their food, glucose, simple sugar, carbohydrate.

Topic:
When I breathe, I don't breathe alone. All life on Earth inhales and exhales all the time.

In this chapter you will learn about how carbon moves between plants, animals, and the air.
You will learn about the beautiful, interlocking relationship between plants and animals.
