  • Invertebrates are animals without backbone
  • Vertebrates are animals with backbone
  • Vertebrates divided into fish , amphibia, reptiles,birds and mammals
  • Reptiles lay eggs and have scales
  • Fish breathe through gills
  • Amphibians live on land but breed in water
  • Mammals give birth to live young
  • Birds fly and have feathers
  • Poikilothermic is an organism that has a body temperature that changes according to its surrounding temperature
  • Homeotherm is an animals with body temperature that is constant and free from the influence of its surrounding temperature
  • Non-flowering plants consist of moss,fern and conifers
  • Flowering plant a plant that produces seed and flower. Each seed has a cotyledons which is stored food that is used by seed to germinate
  • Xylem transports water and mineral upwards through stem

  • Species is a group of organisms that have common characteristics and can reproduce to breed offspring
  • Population is a group of organisms of the same species that live in the same habitat
  • Community is a few populations of different organisms that live together in one habitat
  • Ecosystem is a few communities that live together in one habitat and have mutual interaction with one another including all the non living components such as water solid and air
  • Interaction between animals divided into symbiosis , prey-predator and competition
  • Symbiosis divided into mutualism , commensalism and parasitism
  • Mutualism both partners get benefits
  • commensalism one partner benefits while other does not get benefits or harmed
  • parasitism one partner gets benefited while other get harms
  • Prey-predator involves one organism that eat another organism
  • Prey is organism that is eaten by the predator
  • Predator is a the organism that hunts another organism for food
  • Competition happens when organisms in one habitat compete for limited supply of basic needs such as light,space,water,food and mates
