Relationship Between Living and Non-Living Things
  • Dependence: Living things depend on non-living things for survival (e.g., plants need water, sunlight, and minerals from soil).
  • Habitat: Non-living things often form the habitats where living things reside (e.g., water bodies for fish, soil for plants).
  • Nutrient Cycle: Non-living elements such as water, carbon, and nitrogen are essential parts of the nutrient cycles that support life.

  • Plants: Trees, flowers, grasses, and algae.
  • Animals: Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and fish.
