Sure! Here are the statements from the question that are true:
1. Plants perform chemical reactions that require energy.
2. Animals can receive their energy by consuming plants or other animals.
Explanation:
1. Plants undergo photosynthesis, a chemical reaction that requires energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This process is how plants make their own food and obtain energy.
2. Animals can obtain energy by consuming plants (herbivores) or other animals (carnivores or omnivores). Through the food chain, energy is transferred from plants to herbivores, then to carnivores, and so on, as animals consume one another for energy.
Therefore, the two statements above accurately describe how living things, both plants and animals, obtain and use energy for their survival.
