1. Things around us can be divided into living and non-living.
The earth on which we live is made up of several things. These “things” can be categorized into two different types – Living and Non-living Things. All living things breathe, eat, grow, move, reproduce and have senses. Non-living things do not eat, grow, breathe, move and reproduce.
2. A cell is the smallest structure that is able to function independently.
The cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. Each cell of an organism performs functions such as nutrition, transport, excretion, and reproduction.
3. A group of similar cells that perform a particular function form a tissue.
Animal cells and plant cells can form tissues, like muscle tissue. A group of similar cells performing similar functions is known as tissues. It is a cellular organizational level between cells and a complete organ.
4. Breathing is a part of respiration.
Breathing is a process through which air containing oxygen and carbon dioxide is taken into the body. The oxygen is then taken into the blood from the lungs and is transported to all the cells. Cells use this oxygen to obtain energy from the nutrients in the food we eat. This process is called respiration. So breathing takes in oxygen essential for respiration.
5. Bacteria and fungi are common decomposers.
Bacteria and fungi are called decomposers because they break down the dead and decaying organic matter into simpler substances such as carbon dioxide, water, simple sugars, and mineral salts and provide the nutrients back to the soil.
6. Temperature affects the distribution of plants and animals across the planet.
Most plants and animals live in areas with very specific climate conditions, such as temperature and rainfall patterns, that enable them to thrive.
