Plants grow in almost all part of the world. \Ne see such plants as flowers.
grass and trees nearly everyday. Plants gro\n' high on mountain-tops, far out in the
oceans, and in many deserts and.polar regions.
Without plants, there could (41) be no life on earth. Man could not live
without air or food, and so he cauld not li\/e (42) without plants. The oxygen in- the
air we breathe comes from plants. The food we eat also (43) comes from p'ants or
from animals that eat plants. We build houses (44) and make many useful products
from lumber cut from trees. Much of our clothing (45) is made from the fibers of the
cotton plant.
Scientists believe that (46) there . are more than 350.000 species of
plants. but no one knows for sure. Some of the smallest plants can be seen (47) with
microscope. The largest living things are (48) the giant sequoia trees of California.
Some of them stand more than 290 feet high and measure over 30 feet wide.
Scientists divide all living things into two main groups: plants and animals. lt
is usually easy (49) to . tell the two apart. Alrnost all.kinds of plants stay in one
place, but nearly all species of (50) animals move about under their own power.
Most plants make their own food from air. sunlight, and water. Animals cannot rnake
their own food. The basic units of all life. called cells, are also different in plants and
animals. Most plant cells have thick walls that contain a material called cellulose.
Animal cells do not have this material.
