Roots of Plants 

Roots are vital for a plant's survival. They absorb water and nutrients from the soil – all key for healthy growth. They also anchor the plant, keeping it secure against strong winds or heavy rains.

• Water Absorption: Roots take in water from the soil, which is crucial for photosynthesis and other vital processes.

• Nourishment: They absorb essential minerals like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

• Anchoring: They keep the plant firmly in place, providing stability.

• Environmental Interaction: Roots enable plants to respond to environmental cues like gravity and moisture levels.

Photosynthesis in Leaves 

Leaves are where photosynthesis happens – the process that turns sunlight into energy. This not only fuels the plant but also produces the oxygen we depend on.

• Energy Production: Leaves capture sunlight and convert it into glucose, which acts as food for the plant.

• Oxygen Production: During photosynthesis, plants release oxygen, which is essential for animals and humans.

• Leaf Structure: Leaves are full of chlorophyll, the pigment that gives them their green colour and helps capture sunlight.

• Ecological Importance: Photosynthesis helps balance the gases in our atmosphere.

Animal Limbs 

Animal limbs – like legs, wings, and fins – are essential for movement and survival. They help animals traverse their environment, capture food, and defend themselves.

• Locomotion: Legs, wings, and other limbs allow animals to move in search of food, shelter, and mates.

• Exploration: Limbs enable animals to explore their surroundings and locate necessary resources.

• Defense: Some limbs, such as claws or horns, serve as a means of protection against predators.

• Adaptation: The form and function of limbs can vary widely between species, reflecting adaptations to their environments.

Istilah Kunci

• Photosynthesis: The process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.

• Chlorophyll: The green pigment in plant leaves responsible for capturing sunlight during photosynthesis.

• Root: The part of the plant that draws in water and nutrients from the soil while anchoring it down.

• Limbs: Extensions of animals, such as legs, wings, or fins, used for movement and other vital functions.

Dampak pada Masyarakat

Understanding the characteristics of plants and animals influences our daily lives and our society. Recognising that plants produce oxygen and that animals are integral to ecosystems helps us appreciate why protecting nature is so important. This knowledge empowers us to make caring choices, whether by tending our gardens or treating our pets with the respect they deserve. 女

On an emotional level, recognising our connection with plants and animals teaches us lessons about empathy and the need to live in harmony with our surroundings.

Mengatasi Emosi

Let’s try using the RULER method! At home, take a moment to reflect on a plant or animal that holds a special place in your heart. First, recognize the emotions you feel when you think about it. Then, understand what triggers these feelings—maybe it’s the companionship of a pet. Name those emotions clearly, and express them through a drawing, some writing, or by discussing them with a friend. Finally, regulate your emotions with a few deep breaths to help keep your mind clear and calm. 律‍♂️律‍♀️
