Key Topics to Revise
1
Living and Non-Living Components of Environment
- The environment includes both living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) things.
- Biotic components: Plants, animals, and humans.
- Abiotic components: Air, water, soil, and sunlight.
2
Importance of Plants and Animals
- Plants are called 'producers' because they make their own food using sunlight.
- Plants give us food, oxygen, wood, medicines, and fibers like cotton.
- Plants help in the water cycle through transpiration.
3
Food Chain and Interdependence
- A food chain shows who eats whom in nature.
- It starts with a plant (producer), then comes the primary consumer (herbivore), then secondary consumer (carnivore).
- Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead plants and animals and return nutrients to the soil.
4
Balance and Imbalance in Nature
- Nature remains balanced when all parts of the food chain are in proper numbers.
- Too many or too few of any organism can cause problems.
- Deforestation, hunting, and forest fires are major causes of imbalance in nature.
