Food and Nutrition

The book Food and Nutrition explains that all living things require food that can be used for energy. Plants use photosynthesis to make food; animals eat plants, other animals, or both. Both plants and animals produce energy through respiration. In animals, the digestive system breaks down food and releases energy. A healthy diet includes a variety and balance of nutrients.
