Analysis

1. How are animals and plants interdependent?

Ans - Plants and animals are intricately linked: plants produce food and oxygen for animals,
who in turn disperse seeds and provide nutrients for plant growth, creating a balanced
ecosystem where each organism relies on the other.
2. What happens to energy when it moves up and down in the chain that you have made?
Ans - Energy in ecosystems travels like a diminishing light in a food chain. While devoured
organisms transfer energy, it's not perfect. At each level, creatures use some energy for
themselves (think keeping warm and moving), and this energy escapes as heat, unusable by
the next consumer.

3. How do living things, particularly the species depicted in the photographs, adapt to their
surroundings?
Ans -The fight for survival in an ecosystem is multifaceted. Some organisms forge partnerships
with others, creating win-win scenarios through symbiosis. Others take a more independent
route, evolving adaptations - be it physical camouflage, seasonal migrations, or internal
adjustments - to better suit the challenges of their environment.

4. What fascinated you in arranging the photos?

Ans - I understand how the food chain works in a linear and circular manner, similar to a
process. It also gave me a better understanding of how a food chain works to keep our ecology
balanced.

5. Does the activity assist you in comprehending the natural processes that exist in the
environment?
Ans - I found it easier to identify a balanced ecology and examine my surroundings. A part of
the assignment in which I had to organize them according to the food chain was interesting
because a food chain is incomplete without a certain consumer or producer and will not operate
properly.
