  4. Photosynthesis Sugar is made, and it is stored in the plant for food. Oxygen is given off through the leaves.

  5. Photosynthesis + Carbon Dioxide + = Sunlight Water + Sugars Oxygen

  6. Food Chains and Food Webs Sun Grass Grasshopper Mouse Snake Hawk Producer Consumer Herbivore Prey Consumer Omnivore Predator AND Prey Consumer Carnivore Predator AND Prey Consumer Carnivore Predator
