Topics in Interdependence in Living Being

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.
