Classification of animals
This document provides an overview of how living things are classified. It explains that living things are divided into two large groups: animals and plants. Animals are further divided into vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates are animals with backbones and include five groups: amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles. Each group is described. Invertebrates do not have backbones and include eight groups: molluscs, flatworms, annelids, roundworms, sponges, echinoderms, cnidarians, and arthropods. Details are provided on the characteristics of each invertebrate group.
GETTING TO KNOW PLANT 1- (CLASS VI) CBSE CHAPTER-7
We do see a variety of plants existing all around us near our homes, in the school ground, on the way to the school, in the parks and gardens, isn’t it?
Based on these characters most plants can be classified into three categories: herbs, shrubs and trees, climbers and creepers
The eating-habits-of-animals-ppt-teeth
The document discusses different types of animals based on their diets and teeth structures. Herbivores only eat plants and have flat teeth for chewing plant material. Carnivores only eat meat and have sharp teeth for tearing meat. Omnivores eat both plants and meat, so they have both sharp teeth for meat and flat teeth for plants. The types of teeth help determine what kinds of foods each animal can eat to get the energy needed to live.
Plants and animals depend on each other. (teach 2nd/3rd grade)
This document discusses interdependency between living things. It explains that babies are dependent on others for their needs but the relationship is not interdependent. Animals depend on plants for food, oxygen, and shelter. Plants and animals create an interdependent relationship where plants provide oxygen and food/habitat for animals, and animals in turn provide carbon dioxide and help plants reproduce and disperse seeds. The relationship between plants and animals is one of interdependency.
The Food Web PowerPoint
This presentation is a PowerPoint on the Food Web I completed in Geology. This goes into great detail about consumers, producers, and decomposers.
Food and digestion - grade 4
The document discusses the process of digestion and a balanced diet. It explains that food is broken down in the digestive system, with chemicals being transported through the bloodstream. The seven types of chemicals that make up food can provide a balanced diet. It then outlines the five stages of digestion - chewing, swallowing, breaking down in the stomach, further breakdown in the small intestine aided by bile, and absorption of nutrients in the large intestine with waste excretion. Finally, it lists some of the food groups that should be included in a balanced diet such as bread, meat, and dairy.
Green plants CLASS IV
Chlorophyll in plants absorbs light energy from the sun which is used to force reactions between water and carbon dioxide, resulting in the production of sugar and oxygen. Leaves contain stomata on their undersides and act as the food factory of plants, using photosynthesis to produce sugar from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. Plants store extra food as starch in different parts like stems, roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits. A starch test using iodine shows the presence of starch in potato slices. An experiment without light for two days shows that leaves require light for photosynthesis to produce starch. Plants and animals are interdependent as green plants produce food and oxygen while animals produce carbon dioxide, with food chains maintaining
Class IV Green plants
The document discusses the key parts and functions of leaves. It explains that leaves contain chlorophyll which makes them appear green. Leaves have a blade and veins which transport substances like water and minerals. Stomata on the lower leaf surface allow plants to breathe. Leaves act as the food factory of plants, manufacturing food through photosynthesis using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis produces oxygen and sugar as a byproduct, with the sugar transported through the plant. Plants and animals depend on each other, as plants produce oxygen for animals and animals produce carbon dioxide for plants. Food chains demonstrate how each organism depends on others as a source of food.

Food chains demonstrate how each organism depends on others as a source of food.
Food chains
A food chain describes how energy passes from one organism to another. Producers like plants get energy from the sun, consumers eat producers or other consumers, and decomposers break down waste. A food chain shows a single path of energy transfer, while a more complex food web links multiple food chains together as predators can have multiple prey.
Herbivore, carnivore and omnivore animals
There are three main types of animals: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Herbivores get their energy from plants and grass. Carnivores get energy solely from eating other animals. Omnivores obtain energy from both plants and animals. All three types play important roles in ecosystems, and imbalances could disrupt entire food chains. Protecting ecosystems and reducing pollution will help ensure a healthy environment for all species.
Food chains and webs powerpoint
The document discusses food chains and food webs within an ecosystem. It defines key terms like producers, consumers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers. It explains that producers like plants make their own food, while consumers eat other organisms. Decomposers break down dead plants and animals, recycling nutrients. A food chain diagrams a single path of energy transfer, while a food web shows interconnected chains. Energy is lost at each trophic level, as shown in an energy pyramid.
Classification Of Plants
The document classifies plants into two main groups: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Non-flowering plants are further divided into mosses, ferns, and gymnosperms. Mosses have no true roots or vascular tissues, simple stems and leaves, and reproduce via spores from capsules dispersed by wind. Ferns have roots, feathery leaves, underground stems, and vascular tissues, reproducing via spores on leaf undersides. Gymnosperms are tall evergreen trees like pine trees with needle-shaped leaves, cones, and naked seeds in female cones. Flowering plants are divided into monocots and dicots based on their seed and leaf characteristics.
Producers Consumers and Decomposers
This document discusses producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem. It begins by defining producers as organisms like plants that use photosynthesis to produce their own food from sunlight. There are four types of consumers: herbivores that eat producers, carnivores that eat other animals, omnivores that eat both, and decomposers like bacteria that break down dead organisms. The document provides examples of each and explains how energy flows from producers through consumers in a food chain and food web.
Introduction to Food Chains
A food chain shows how energy flows through an ecosystem. All food chains begin with the Sun providing energy to green plants, which are producers. Producers are then eaten by primary consumers like insects and herbivores. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and tertiary consumers eat other consumers. Food chains illustrate the relationships between organisms as energy passes from one to the next.

Types of plants
This document discusses different types of plants. It describes trees as big, strong plants that have trunks and many branches. Herbs are small, weak-stemmed plants that are always green and live for only a few months. Shrubs are small, bushy plants that have hard, woody stems and branches close to the ground. Climber plants have very weak stems and climb trees or walls for support. Creepers have long, weak stems that run along the ground. Thorny plants deter animals from eating them due to their thorns. The document provides examples of different types of plants and activities for students to classify plants.
Classification of plants
The document classifies plants into two main categories: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Non-flowering plants include mosses and ferns. Mosses do not have true roots or vascular tissues, reproduce via spores, and prefer damp environments. Ferns have roots, leaves, underground stems and vascular tissues, reproduce via spore-producing organs on their leaves, and prefer damp shady places. Flowering plants are further divided into gymnosperms like pine trees, which have needle-shaped leaves and bear naked seeds in cones, and angiosperms which have true flowers and fruits containing seeds. Angiosperms include monocots and dicots, distinguished by whether they have one or two seed leaves and

Cbse grade 3 Eating habits in animals
This lesson explains that animals have different eating habits depending on whether they are herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. It provides examples of different animal mouthparts and teeth structures that correspond to their diets. The lesson also introduces the concept of a food chain, explaining that all food chains start with plants as the first link.
Herbivores, carnivores and omnivores
This document discusses different types of animals and what they eat. It explains that cows, zebras and rabbits are herbivores that eat plants. Lions, tigers and crocodiles are carnivores that eat other animals. Bears, pigs, monkeys and people are omnivores that eat both plants and other animals.
Movement of animals
The document discusses how different animals move and use their body parts for movement. It explains that plants can make their own food while animals depend on other organisms for food and cannot move from place to place like animals can. It then provides examples of how various animals move, such as birds using wings to fly, fish using fins to swim, turtles using webbed feet and flippers to swim, and frogs being able to swim without fins by using their legs. The document also discusses how land animals like horses, kangaroos, and centipedes use their legs to run, hop, or crawl respectively. It describes how animals like squirrels and monkeys use limbs and tails to climb trees and dig or burrow. Finally
Animal Digestive System
The document describes three main types of digestive systems - monogastric, avian, and ruminant. The monogastric system has a single stomach and is found in humans, pigs, horses and rabbits. The avian system in birds has no teeth and includes specialized organs like the crop, proventriculus and muscular gizzard. The ruminant system is characterized by its four chambered stomach (rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum) that allows ruminants like cattle to digest roughage. Pseudo-ruminants like horses also digest roughage but do not have a multi-chambered stomach.
Cbse: Grade 5 FOOD AND HEALTH
This document outlines the importance of a balanced diet and identifies the main nutrients found in different food groups. It discusses that a balanced diet contains the right amounts of energy sources like sugars and starches, proteins for growth and repair, vitamins, minerals, water, and roughage/fiber. Maintaining a balanced diet is important for overall health and preventing deficiency diseases.
Classifying Animals and their Group
This document discusses and compares vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates are animals with backbones, and there are five classes: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Each class is then described in 1-2 sentences. Invertebrates are animals without backbones that can take care of themselves after hatching from eggs. Insects are described as the largest group of invertebrates, having six legs and one or two pairs of wings.
NUTRITION IN PLANTS-1 (CLASS-VII) CBSE
All living organisms such as plants and animals require food. So food is essential for all living organisms. Plants are capable of making their food themselves but humans and animals cannot.
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals are essential components of food, these components are called Nutrients.
foodchains-150321215655-conversion-gate01.pdf
A food chain describes how energy passes from producers to consumers in an ecosystem. Producers, like plants, get energy from the sun. Consumers, such as herbivores, carnivores and omnivores, get energy by eating other organisms and cannot produce their own food. Decomposers break down waste and dead organisms, recycling nutrients in the system. A food web shows the complex connections between multiple food chains in a community as organisms can be both predator and prey.

Gaurav and webs
This document discusses food chains and food webs within an ecosystem. It explains that producers like plants and algae generate food, while consumers like herbivores, carnivores and omnivores eat the producers or other consumers. Food chains involve a single path where each organism is eaten by the next in line, while food webs are more complex networks of interconnected food chains. Energy flows from producers to primary, secondary and tertiary consumers, and decomposers break down waste.
Food chain and food web
The document compares and contrasts food chains and food webs. It defines a food chain as a linear representation of feeding relationships, while a food web shows multiple interconnected food chains as most organisms consume and are consumed by multiple species. It then provides examples of producers, consumers, and decomposers in desert, forest, savanna, and marine food webs. Finally, it discusses trophic levels and how energy is transferred and lessened at each level in a food pyramid.
food chains and Relationships
- All organisms ultimately get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis carried out by producers like plants and algae or through consumption of other organisms.
- There are different types of consumers in food chains including herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers. Parasites also feed on other living organisms.
- Food chains show the transfer of energy from producers to primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers and decomposers. Multiple interconnected food chains make up a food web.
What are food chains and food webs in an ecosystem?
This document discusses food chains and food webs. It defines producers as organisms that produce their own food, typically through photosynthesis, and consumers as organisms that eat other organisms for food. Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat other animals, and omnivores eat both plants and animals. Decomposers break down dead organic matter. Food chains show the transfer of energy as organisms eat each other, moving through trophic levels from producers to primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers. Most ecosystems involve complex food webs rather than simple food chains, as most organisms eat more than one type of other organism.
Food webs and trophic levels for 9th grade biology
This document contains information about food chains and food webs presented in an ecology lesson for students. It defines key terms like producers, consumers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers. It explains that plants get energy from the sun, and that food chains show what eats what, while food webs show how multiple overlapping food chains connect different organisms. The document provides examples of producers, primary consumers, and secondary consumers, and directions for a food web activity assignment.
food chain.pptx
This document defines and compares food chains and food webs. A food chain shows a linear transfer of energy from plants through herbivores and carnivores. Food webs are more complex and show that most organisms are part of multiple overlapping food chains. They depict all the feeding relationships in an ecosystem and increase the adaptability of organisms. Decomposers like bacteria and fungi break down dead material and return nutrients to the soil to complete the cycle.
Food chains and food Webs
This document provides information about ecology and the environment. It defines key ecological terms like environment, habitat, producers and consumers. It explains how organisms are adapted to their environments and how energy flows through ecosystems. Food chains and webs are described as the transfer of energy from producers, like plants, to primary, secondary and tertiary consumers. The document outlines different types of consumers - herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and detritivores. It also discusses trophic levels and explains that only about 10% of usable energy is transferred between each level.
Ecosystems
An ecosystem is made up of living things and their physical environment that interact and depend on each other. Sunlight provides the initial energy that plants capture through photosynthesis and convert into food, while consumers obtain energy by eating plants or other animals. Decomposers break down waste and dead organisms to recycle nutrients and energy back into the ecosystem. Multiple food chains interconnect to form complex food webs as most organisms have more than one source of food. Energy and nutrients are transferred between producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem.
Chapter 27 Nutrition and Digestion
Nutrition and digestion allow animals to take in nutrients from food, break the food down, absorb it, and use it for energy and growth. Nutrition includes ingestion, digestion, absorption, storage, and use of nutrients. Digestion is the breakdown of food into absorbable particles through chemical and mechanical means. There are many feeding strategies like herbivory, predation, deposit feeding, and fluid feeding as well as continuous and discontinuous feeding. Digestive structures also vary from protozoa to invertebrates to vertebrates.
Digestive system animals
The document summarizes three main types of digestive systems:
1) Ruminant systems like those in cattle and sheep have multi-chambered stomachs and use microbial fermentation in the rumen to digest plant matter.
2) Monogastric systems like in humans and pigs have a simple stomach and rely on enzymes and acid digestion.
3) Hindgut fermenters like horses have a simple stomach but very large and complex large intestine where cellulose is broken down by symbiotic bacteria.
food chain ppt.pptx
Green plants are producers that use energy from the sun to make their own food. Bats feed on parts of durian trees and other trees. The population of cave-dwelling bats is declining because they are being preyed upon by other organisms. These predators that feed on bats could also potentially have additional predators higher on the food chain. A food chain represents the transfer of energy from producers like plants through consumers as organisms eat each other across trophic levels.

Living Things and Non-Living Things (1).pptx
The document discusses ways to determine if something is alive or non-living by considering if it can move, grow, breathe, react, and reproduce. It then applies these criteria to various examples like fish, cars, trees, sandwiches, clouds, cartoons, the sun, starfish, and germs to categorize them as living or non-living. The activity at the end asks readers to draw pictures of living, once living, and non-living things and label them accordingly.
Living Things and Non-Living Things (2).pptx
The document outlines the key characteristics of living things, including that they breathe, obtain and use energy, reproduce, grow and develop, respond to and adapt to their environment, and have cells. In contrast, nonliving things do not possess any of these characteristics of living things.
Forces_and_Friction.ppt
This document discusses forces, how forces combine, and how friction affects motion. It defines a force as a push or pull and describes how the direction and size of forces are measured. It explains that the net force on an object is determined by adding all individual forces together, and that a net force is needed to change an object's motion. The document also defines friction as the force that opposes the motion of two touching surfaces, and describes the different types of friction and how friction can be both helpful and harmful.
FOREST.pptx
Forests can be defined as large areas covered chiefly with trees and undergrowth. There are four main types of forests: tropical rainforests, temperate deciduous forests, temperate coniferous forests, and boreal or taiga forests. Forests account for most of the Earth's plant biomass and play an important role in the planet's carbon cycle. They contain many animal and plant species and provide habitat for wildlife.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
