energy and building
materials for ALL organisms
Plants=Source to Create Food to Provide Energy and Building Materials
Organisms Depend on Each other- energy and building materials pass from one living
thing to the next

Needs of Organisms are Related to Age and HealthIn order for the jaguar to stay healthy and fit,
it needs to be able to catch it’s pray so it can eatit and receive energy and building materials (from what it contains) to become stronger and exceed in size. When they are younger, they need to receive more energy and building materials because they are growing, and as their age increases, the build up of energy will help them to complete their physical growing stages and to maintain a healthier lifestyle in the long run.
Needs of Organisms are Related to Needs of Cells
Without the energy, building materials, and oxygen that it receives from the tree frog, the toucan would not be able to perform its everyday tasks and it would die. in order for the toucan to remain healthy and to be able to perform its functions, it needs a substantial amount of these components.
