2. Fill in the Blanks:

All living beings need ............... to stay alive.
Animals that eat both plants and other animals are called ................. .
Bacteria and fungi are examples of ............... that break down dead plants and animals.

Many interconnected food chains in an ecosystem make a ................. .
Plants depend on animals like bees and butterflies for ..............., which helps them produce fruits.

3. True/False Questions: (Write 'True' or 'False')

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
b. Identify the producer in this diagram.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ c. If all the frogs were removed, which animal population might increase, and which might decrease?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Diagram 2:
image.png
a. What is the difference between this diagram (a food web) and a single food chain?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ b. From a typical food web like this, name one omnivore and what it might eat.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

6. Scientific Reasons:

Why are plants essential for the survival of animals on Earth? (Give at least two key reasons related to what plants provide).
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Why are decomposers called "nature's recyclers"?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Why do plants need non-living things like sunlight and water?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

7. Differentiate Between Concepts:

Explain the difference between a producer and a consumer, giving an example of each.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Explain the difference between a scavenger and a carnivore (that hunts live prey).
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

8. Explanations of Terms:

Define 'photosynthesis'.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Define 'interdependence' in the context of plants and animals in an ecosystem.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Define 'food web'.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Give two examples of decomposers.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

10. Complete the Series:
