    Study Notes

    Endangered Species

    • Many species face extinction.
    • Habitat loss (e.g., deforestation) threatens species.
    • Conservation efforts are vital for survival.

    Animal Diversity

    • Herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores represent different diets.
    • Body coverings vary: scales, fur.
    • Reproduction methods differ (oviparous, viviparous).

    Environmental Challenges

    • Pollution (e.g., pesticides) harms various environments.
    • Climate change leads to extreme weather events (floods, droughts).
    • Greenhouse effect, caused by gases, traps heat.

    Energy and Conservation

    • Fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) pollute the environment.
    • Renewable energy (solar, hydro) are safer options.
    • Conservation is essential for a sustainable future.
