Plants and animals depend on each other

Plants and animals depend on each other for many things such as food and shelter.

i. Plants make their own food by photosynthesis. They are consumed by animals as food because animals cannot make their food.

ii. Plants produce oxygen which is used by animals while breathing. In return, animals release carbon dioxide in the air which is used by plants to make food during photosynthesis.

iii. Plants provide shelter to animals such as monkeys and birds.
