WHAT WOULD AN OCEAN ANIMAL EAT?

EAT

• Other animals
• Plants
• Algae
• Other organisms
• Plant like organisms

OXYGEN

• Some animals get oxygen from the air
• Other animals get oxygen from water
• All animals need oxygen

ANIMALS GET OXYGEN FROM AIR

• Sea turtles
• Seabirds: penguins
• Mammals: whales, seals, walruses, otters
• These animals have noses and lungs

ANIMALS THAT GET OXYGEN FROM WATER

• Oxygen is mixed into the water
• Some have body parts that take oxygen from water
• Ocean water goes into fish's mouth and goes over gills
• Gills capture oxygen that's mixed into water

SHARKS, CLAMS, WORMS

PLANT LIKE ORGANISMS

ALGEA & BACTERIA

• Water
• Carbon dioxide
• Vitamins

FOOD FOR

They make their own food. They use energy from sunlight to change their food into carbon dioxide. Vitamins and minerals are called nutrients.

KEY CONCEPT:
*There are millions of types of ocean organisms, including those from the animal, plant and algae groups.

*All organisms have needs that they must meet in order to survive
