oThings that don’t need air, water, food and sunlight for their existence are known as Non-Living Things.
oExample- table, chair ,rocks etc.
Non-Living Things

oThose things that need air, water, food and sunlight to survive are known as living things.
oExample- plants, animals and human beings.
Living things

1. Living things need air, water and food.2. They can grow.3. They can move on their own.4. They can respond to stimuli (changes around them) because they are
sensitive.5. They respire (breathe)6. They excrete.7. They reproduce.8. They have a definite life-span.
Characteristics of Living Things
![Page 5: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
o For all living things to exist, they need food and water.
o Plants- They make their food by doing the process of photosynthesis.o Animals- They obtain their food from other living organisms like grass
and other animals.o Humans- Even we feed on other living organisms.
1. Food
![Page 6: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
o Plant’s Food-

o Animal’s food-

o The young ones of living organisms grow or increase in size as time passes away. Soon they become an adult.
o Plants- Their seeds grow up and become a mature plant in the future.o Animals- Their babies grow up to become strong animals like their
mom and dad.o Humans- Their babies grow up to become strong adults like their mom
and dad.
2. Growth

Growth of a Plant

Growth of a Human

o All living things move themselves without any external help.
o Plants- Lets take the example of a ‘touch me not plant’. If you touch it it closes its leaves. This shows movement in the plant.
o Animals- They move to hunt for food, etc. o Humans- They move to do their occupations like running, walking,
driving etc.
3. Movement
![Page 12: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
o All living thing respond to changes around them.
o Plants- Lets take the example of a touch-me-not plant. When you touch that plant, it closes. So it responds to stimuli.
o Animals- When a deer feels a scratch on her back, she understands that something hurt her, so she runs away. So it responds to stimuli.
o Humans- When we touch fire, out hand moves away on its own. So we responds to stimuli.
4. Respond to Stimuli
![Page 14: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
o All living things undergo respiration to obtain energy from food.
o Plants- Plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. They respire.
o Animals- Animals take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. They respire.
o Humans- We take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. We respire.
5. Respiration

o Each living thing breathes through different parts of their body.-
1. Plants- Stomata(small openings in leaves) 2. Sea animals like fish- Gills (organs which absorb oxygen mixed in
water)3. Mammals like humans- Lungs4. Animals like earthworms- Moist skin

Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen

o The process by which all living things give birth to their young ones is known as reproduction.
6. Reproduction
This doctor is checking the Lama’s baby inside the Stomach.
![Page 19: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
o Animals reproduce through-1. Eggs (chickens, etc)2. Giving birth to their young ones directly (humans, cows, etc)
o Plants reproduce through-1. Seeds (fruits like mangoes, plums, etc)2. Tubers (potatoes)3. Plant cuttings(rose)
![Page 20: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
o The removal of waste materials from the body is known as excretion.o Plants excrete through-1. Taking out carbon dioxide or oxygen depending on day and night.2. Storing their waste products in their fruits, leaves, barks, etc.3. Secretions (gum, raisin and wax) o Animals excrete through-1. Urine2. Faeces3. Exhaling carbon dioxide
7. Excretion
![Page 21: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
o All living things start their life and end their life in a specific time. Thus, all living things have a definite Life-Span.
o For example, a turtle has a life-span of more than a 100 years but average humans have a life-span of only 60-70 years old.
8. Definite Life-Span
![Page 22: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
o A place or surrounding where a living organism lives is called its habitat.
o See the picture of a forest…identify the animals living in this habitat.
Habitat
![Page 23: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1. Terrestrial Habitats- Habitats on land like deserts, rainforests, etc.2. Aquatic Habitats- Habitats in water bodies like lakes, seas, etc.
Types of Habitats
Terrestrial Habitats
Aquatic Habitats
![Page 24: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
o Living things are their habitat’s biotic components.o Example- A desert’s biotic components are camels, cactuses, etc. A river’s biotic components are fish, crabs, etc.
Biotic Components
The Camels are the biotic components of a desert.
![Page 25: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
o The Non-Living things are their habitat’s abiotic components.o Example- A desert’s abiotic components is sand, etc. A river’s abiotic components is water, etc.
Abiotic Components
A river’s abiotic components is water.
![Page 26: Living organisms and Their Surroundings](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540065f28d7f72ba408b477c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
o The presence of a specific body features (or certain habits) which enable a plant or an animal to live in a particular habitat is called adaptation.
o For example- The polar bear is adapted to snow and the cold weather. But the camel is adapted to the hot sand and hot weather. So if we bring the polar bear to the desert and the camel to the North Pole, they both won’t be able to survive because they are not adapted to have the special features which they need to survive there.
Adaptations
