• Energy from food keeps us warm.
• Food is also used for "growth and repair" of the different body parts.
• It also helps to keep the immune system healthy."

Question. What is food chain? Give one example.
Answer : A food chain shows how each living thing gets food, and how nutrients and energy are passed from creature to creature. Food chains begin with plant-life, and end with animal-life. Some animals eat plants, some animals eat other animals. A simple food chain could start with grass, which then eaten up by grasshopper, then mouse, and the mouse was eaten by owl.

Question. What is the main difference between scavengers and decomposers?
Answer : Scavenger and decomposer are two types of organisms that are responsible for the recycling of organic matter. The main difference between scavenger and decomposer is that scavenger consumes dead plants, animals or carrion to break down the organic materials into small particles whereas decomposer consumes the small particles produced by the scavengers. Scavengers can be animals such as birds, crabs, insects, and worms. They can be also called as detritivores. Decomposers are manly fungi. Earthworms and bacteria are also decomposers. The biological term for decomposers is saprotrophs. 

Question. How can food problem be solved?
Answer : The food problem of country can be solved by the following ways-
• We should grow more food crops by using modern method of farming.
• We should store food grains properly.
• We should not waste food in any way.

Question. How scavengers and decomposers are useful to us?
Answer : Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste (poop) of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.so they help to keep the earth clean.
