Study Notes

Organisms

  • Organisms include plants, animals, and humans.
  • An organism is any living thing.
  • Living things vary in size from elephants to microscopic bacteria.
  • Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae are only visible with a microscope.
  • Organisms usually live with others of their own kind.

Population and Community

  • A population is a group of the same type of organisms living together in a specific place at the same time.
  • Population size is the number of organisms in that group.
  • Populations do not live alone but share the environment with other populations.
  • A community includes multiple populations sharing an environment.
  • Different organism types often share the same habitat.
  • Forests contain communities of plants, animals, and microorganisms.
  • Giraffe and deer belong to different groups but live together and form a community.
  • Sometimes entire populations of organisms move together.
  • The population of elephants includes the total number of young and adult elephants living together.
  • A large variety of fish share the same habitat, such as a river or ocean.
  • Birds have communities as well.

Habitat

  • Habitats are places where organisms live and find what they need to survive: air, water, food, shelter, and protection.
  • Habitats provide everything that living things need to survive.
  • Ponds are habitats for aquatic plants and animals.
  • The Arctic region is a habitat for polar bears, seals, and walruses.
  • Soil is a habitat for earthworms, rabbits, snakes, and other animals.
  • Forests are habitats for tigers and other wild animals.
  • Different plants and animals live in the same habitat, and they may rely on each other for their needs.

Interdependence among Organisms

  • All the populations living in a habitat depend on one another to survive and are interdependent.
  • Populations in a habitat rely on each other for survival, showing interdependence.
  • Insects eat grass, birds eat insects, and animals depend on plants for oxygen.
  • Plants need carbon dioxide from animals for photosynthesis.

Food Chain

  • A food chain shows how each living thing gets its food, and all food chains begin with plants.
  • Food chains illustrate how living things obtain food, starting with plants.
  • Food chains describe the flow of energy from one organism to another.
  • Food chains describe who eats whom.
  • Plants use sunlight to make food during photosynthesis.
  • Energy stored in plants is transferred to organisms (e.g., grasshoppers) when they consume the plants.
  • Energy is further transferred as organisms consume each other (e.g., frog eats grasshopper, snake eats frog).
  • Grass is eaten by a grasshopper, the grasshopper is eaten by a frog, the frog is eaten by a snake, and the snake is eaten by an eagle.
  • Animals are dependent on plants and each other for food.

Our Environment

  • An organism's environment consists of all factors affecting its survival, including living things, air, water, and land.
  • An organism's environment consists of all factors affecting its survival, including living things, air, water, and land.
  • Air is a mixture of gases containing water droplets, ice crystals, and dust.
  • Air has water droplets, small ice crystals, and dust also.
  • Air is a mixture of gasses surrounding the Earth.
  • Plants and animals require air to breathe; plants need carbon dioxide, while all organisms need oxygen.
  • Without carbon dioxide, plants cannot make food and without oxygen, plants and animals cannot breathe.
  • Aquatic life obtains carbon dioxide and oxygen from the air dissolved in water.
  • Water is vital for survival and serves as a habitat for plants and animals.
  • Water bodies such as oceans, rivers, and ponds are natural habitats of many animals and plants.
  • Plants use water for photosynthesis, and animals rely on water for drinking.
  • Plants need water to make their food during photosynthesis and animals need water to quench their thirst.
  • Water is used for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and watering plants.
  • When water is not available, animals and human beings move to other areas in search of a fresh supply of water and plants die in the absence of water.
  • Land provides a habitat for plants and animals.
  • Land is covered with soil.
  • Soil is important for plant growth, providing water and mineral salts.
  • Different plants thrive in different soil types.
  • Soil is used for farming to produce grains, fruits, vegetables, cereals, and pulses.

Pollution

  • Organisms cannot survive without air, water, and land (soil) but these components of the environment have become polluted now.
  • Air, water, and land (soil) have become polluted, threatening organisms' survival.
  • The environment becomes polluted when harmful substances are released into the air, the water, and the land.
  • Pollution occurs when harmful substances, known as pollutants, are released into the environment.
  • These harmful substances are called pollutants.
  • Pollutants such as smoke and harmful gases, when released into air, cause air pollution.
  • Pollutants in the air, water, and land negatively impact health and survival.
  • Pollutants in the air, water, and land affect our health and the survival of other organisms in the environment.
  • Many human activities have contributed to pollution.
  • Smoke from cigarettes can be harmful too as cigarette smoke contains many substances that are harmful for our health.
  • Smoke from cigarettes is harmful, containing substances that can cause lung cancer in smokers and those nearby.
  • Smokers breathe in these substances which may cause lung cancer and non-smokers who breathe in the smoke of cigarettes can also be affected in the same way.

Ways to Control Pollution

  • Plant more trees and plants in gardens, parks, and schools.
  • Each of us should try to plant as many trees and other plants as possible in gardens, parks, and schools.
  • Reduce waste by minimizing packaging and reusing old items.
  • Encourage people to reduce packaging because it produces waste and reuse old things instead of throwing them away as waste.
  • Use public transport instead of personal vehicles.
  • Reduce use of vehicles, and use public transport instead of using personal cars.
  • Dispose waste properly by avoiding dumping garbage or chemical waste on the ground or in water.
  • Avoid dumping garbage, human waste or chemical waste on the ground or into water bodies.
  • Reduce the use of coal and wood for cooking.
  • In villages, people burn coals and wood to cook food, and such practices harm the environment and should be avoided.
