dioxid are the main things a plant needs to make its 

 food, the animals really are as helpful to the plants as 

 the plants are to the animals. For the animals furnish 

 the materials to the plants for making their food in ex- 

 change for the ready-made food furnished by the plant. 

 And both plants and animals would die if light stopped 

 helping to bring about chemical change.
