We all eat different foods at different times.

All living beings need food for :-

1. Their growth

2. Food provides energy to do work

3. Food repairs the damaged tissue.

Food materials and sources.

We get food from plants and animals.

Food from plants.

Plant is the main source of food. Green plants are also known as producers because they prepare their own food by using sunlight, air (carbon dioxide), water and chlorophyll ,this process of making food by plant is called photosynthesis.

Food we get from plants is called plant product. We eat different parts of plant. For example- Root( carrot, radish ) , stem (potatoes , onion , sugarcane ,etc), leaves ( spinach, cabbage), Flower (banana broccoli , cauliflower) , seeds ( pulses, cereals, bean), etc.

Edible part - The eatable parts of plant is called edible part.

Sprouted seeds:- A small white thread like structure grown out of seeds when soaked in water are called sprouted seeds.

Food from animals.

Food we get from animals is called animals product. For example:- we get meat , milk , egg, honey etc from animals.

Notes chapter-1.

From where does honey comes ?

Honey is a sweet liquid . Bees collect nectar ( sweet juices) from the flowers and convert it into honey and store it in their hive . Then, farmer collect the honey from beehive.

What do animals eat ?

As we know different animals have different feeding habits. According to their feeding habits animals are divided into three groups :-

Herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

Herbivores :- Those animals that eat only plants or plant product is called herbivores animals. For example- deer , elephant, cow ,ox ,goat ,horse ,etc.

These animals have sharp-edged teeth in each jaw to gnaw food.

Carnivores:- Those animals that eat flesh of other animals is called carnivores animals. For example :- lion , tiger, fox , etc.

Omnivores animals:-Those animals that eat both plants and animals is called omnivores animals. For example:- crow , Dog, Human beings, etc.

CHAPTER- 1 The Earth in the Solar System Class 6 Notes Geography Chapter 1 THE EARTH IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM The whole sky is filled with tiny objects some are bright and some are dim. The object we see in night are moon, stars ,etc. Poornima – We can see a full moon once a month. It is Full moon night or Poornima . Amavasya- we cannot see the moon at all once a moon . It is a New moon night or Amavasya. The sun, the moon and all those objects shining in the night sky are called celestial bodies. The sun and the other stars are hot ball of gases. They look very tiny because they are millions of kilometre far from earth. The sun look large then other stars because it is not that much far from earth. While watching the night sky, you may notice various patterns formed by different groups of stars. These are called constellations . Example - Ursa Major , big bear, Saptarishi , Leo, etc. The North star indicates the north direction. It is also called the Pol...

Notes of Ch 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations| Class 10th Science

Notes of Ch 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations| Class 10th Science Introduction → Most of the substance around us undergoes various changes. Some of these changes are temporary with no new substance being formed. They are called physical changes. → In certain other changes the new substance formed in which the reactant or the parent loses its identity to form new substance called product. These changes are permanent changes as we won’t get the reactant back. Chemical Reaction → Chemical reaction is the process by which two or more substance react with each other to form new substance with different properties. → These are the following changes to determine that the chemical reaction has taken place: (i) Change in state (ii) Change in colour (iii) Evolution of gas (iv) Change in temperature Chemical Equation → A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and formulae, wherein the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side ...
