EVOLUTION : EVOLUTION WHAT IS EVOLUTION? EVOLUTION IS THE CONTINUOUS AND THE SUCCESIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ORGANISM THROUGH ADAPTATIONS.

FOSSILS : FOSSILS WHAT ARE FOSSILS? THE IMPRINTS AND CASTS OF DEAD REMAINS OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS FOUND IN ROCKS ARE CALLED FOSSILS. THEY GIVE INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE AGE OF THE ANIMALS , THEIR FEEDING HABITS AND THE ORIGIN.

USES OF ANIMALS TO MAN. : USES OF ANIMALS TO MAN. 1. FOOD THE FOLLOWING FOOD , WE GET FROM ANIMALS. 1. MEAT ------- COW, GOAT, PIG 2. MILK -------- COW, GOAT, BUFFLOW 3. EGGS -------- DUCK, HEN 4. HONEY AND WAX ------ HONEY BEES

SERVICE : SERVICE DONKEY---------- BEAST OF BURDEN DOG-------PROTECTS THE HOUSE AND IT IS A PET ANIMAL. HORSES AND BULLOCKS ---------HELPS IN PULLING THE CARTS AND USED FOR PLOUGHING. CROWS AND KITES --------- SCAVENGERS(ANIMALS THAT FEED ON DEAD ORGANISMS) EARTH WORM -------- ENRICH THE SOIL.

ANIMAL PRODUCTS : ANIMAL PRODUCTS SILKWORM --------------- SILK SHEEP ----------------- WOOLLEN SNAKES, CROCODILE, REPTILES -----LEATHER OYESTER------------PEARL ELEPHANT --------------IVORY HONEY BEE ------------------HONEY AND WAX

HARMFUL ANIMALS : HARMFUL ANIMALS SOME ANIMALS HARM OUR FOOD CROPS AND GRAINS. EXAMPLES -------ELEPHANTS , DEER, GIRAFFEE DESTROYS STANDING CROPS. SOME INSECTS LIKE STEM BORER AND WEEVIL BORE INTO THE STEMS, GRAINS AND DESTROY THEM.

ANIMALS THAT CARRY DISEASE ORGANISMCAUSING : ANIMALS THAT CARRY DISEASE ORGANISMCAUSING RABID DOG--------RABID DOG CARRIES RABIES VIRUS RATS -----RATS CARRY THE VIRUS WHICH CAUSES PLAGUE THE FEMALE ANOPHELES MOSQUITO CARRIES THE PLASMODIUM VIVAX WHICH CAUSES MALARIA.

PARASITES : PARASITES AN ORGANISM THAT THAT OBTAINS NUTRIANS FROM THE LIVING TISSUES OF ANOTHER ORGANISM IS CALLED A PARASITE. PARASITES ARE OF 2 TYPES. THEY ARE : 1. ECTO PARASITES 2. ENDO PARASITES

ECTO PARASITES : ECTO PARASITES THESE PARASITES LIVE OUTSIDE THE BODY OF THE HOST. EXAMPLE --- LEACH, BED BUG. MOSQUITO,TICKS.

ENDO PARASITES : ENDO PARASITES PARASITES THAT LIVES INSIDE THE BODY OF THE HOST. EXAMPLES – TAPEWORM, GROUND WORM, CROOKWORM

ANIMALS AS DESTRUCTIVE AGENTS : ANIMALS AS DESTRUCTIVE AGENTS MOTH----- DESTROYS CLOTHES WHITE ANTS (TERMITES)--- DESTROYS WOOD AND PAPER COCKROACHES SPOIL FOOD.

USES OF ANIMALS TO PLANTS : USES OF ANIMALS TO PLANTS THEY HELP IN POLLINATION. HELP IN THE DISPERSAL OF FRUITS AND SEEDS. CARBON-DI-OXIDE RELEASED BY THE ANIMALS IS USED BY THE PLANTS FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS. COW DUNG AND DEAD BODIES OF ANIMALS PROVIDE HUMAS FOR PLANT GROWTH.

FOOD CHAIN : FOOD CHAIN THE TRANSFER OF ENERGY FROM ONE ORGANISM TO THE NEXT ORGANISM IS CALLED A FOOD CHAIN. EXAMPLE-------- FOOD CHAIN THE GRASS LANDS: PLANTS====INSECTS====FROG=====SNAKES====HAWK=====SOIL
