📚 Educational Notes

🌿 Living vs Non-Living

• Living things grow, reproduce, and respond to environment
• They need food, water, air, and shelter
• Living things can move and excrete waste
• They have a definite lifespan
• Examples: Plants, animals, bacteria, fungi
• Non-living things don't show life processes

🦋 Classification of Life

• Kingdom Plantae: Trees, flowers, grass
• Kingdom Animalia: Mammals, birds, fish
• Kingdom Fungi: Mushrooms, yeast
• Kingdom Protista: Amoeba, paramecium
• Kingdom Monera: Bacteria
• Each kingdom has unique characteristics

🔄 Life Processes

• Nutrition: Getting and using food
• Respiration: Breathing and energy release
• Growth: Increase in size and complexity
• Reproduction: Creating offspring
• Excretion: Removing waste products
• Response: Reacting to surroundings

🌍 Habitats & Adaptation

• Terrestrial: Land habitats (forests, deserts)
• Aquatic: Water habitats (oceans, rivers)
• Arboreal: Tree-dwelling organisms
• Animals adapt to survive in their habitat
• Camouflage, migration, hibernation are adaptations

🔗 Food Chains & Webs

• Producers: Plants make their own food
• Primary Consumers: Herbivores eat plants
• Secondary Consumers: Carnivores eat herbivores
• Decomposers: Break down dead organisms
• Energy flows from producers to consumers
