Environmental Balance

Food chains provide food for all living things, ensuring their survival. Soil microorganisms help decompose plant residue, dead animals, and excreta, forming substances beneficial for plant growth.

• The decomposition of remains adds these substances to the soil, a crucial environmental cycle. The water cycle ensures a continuous supply of water for living things.
• Oxygen exchange between living and nonliving things is a natural cycle, with oxygen released for breathing and carbon dioxide added for food production.
• Continuous interaction among living and nonliving things maintains food chains and environmental balance.

Food Chain

Water Cycle

1. Human activities have caused significant changes in the air, water, and land, leading to pollution of these abiotic components (air, water, and land). This pollution poses a serious threat to the survival of living organisms, with many species already becoming extinct.
2. When one part of the environment is damaged, it disrupts the balance and affects the relationships between other factors.
3. Although species have gone extinct throughout history, this process is now happening much more rapidly, creating a serious danger for all life on Earth.
