 \nA snake respondsquickly to changeusing its tongue;plants respond too,but too slowly foryour eye to see.  \n## Organs to do the job\n\nDifferent parts of plants and animals carry outdifferent jobs.Your body is made up from anumber of different organs,such as your eyes,stomach,brain and heart.Each organ looksdifferent from the rest because it is specialisedto carry out its job.For example,your heart isan extremely effective pumping organ whichtransports blood to all parts of your body.It caneven change how hard it works to suit yourrequirements!Each organ works as part of anorgan system with other organs.Your heartworks with arteries,veins and capillaries toform your circulatory system.  \n## Energy for life\n\nAll living organisms need a supply of energy tostay alive.Animals take in the energy they needin the food they eat.Their food contains a storeof trapped energy.Green plants obtain energyin a very different way.They can use energyfrom sunlight to make their own food.Thisprocess is called photosynthesis.When plantsand animals need to use energy,the energytrapped in their food is released duringrespiration.Plants and animals use thereleased energy for the various processeswhich are essential for their maintenance oflife.You can read more about photosynthesison pages 134 and 135.  \n1  \nMake a copy and then complete this tablewhich shows some human organsystems.  \nThe organs which keep you alivewere formed before you were born.  \nSome plant organs make food-other organsstore food which you can eat too!
