Photosynthesis, Matter, Teeth & Microbes

The document covers four main topics: photosynthesis in plants, states of matter and their properties, human teeth and oral health, and the role of microbes. It explains how plants use chlorophyll and sunlight to produce food, the characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases, the types and functions of human teeth, and the various uses of microbes. Each section provides essential information about the processes and components involved in these biological and physical concepts.

■ How Plants Make Food (Photosynthesis)

1. Green substance in leaves: Chlorophyll


2. Process of making food: Photosynthesis
3. 'Photo' means light, 'synthesis' means putting together
4. Plants use sunlight to make food
5. Tiny holes under leaves: Stomata
6. Stomata take in carbon dioxide from air
7. Gas released during photosynthesis: Oxygen
8. Extra food stored in: Roots, stems, leaves, fruits, seeds
9. Leaves are called the food factory of the plant

■■ States of Matter & Properties


1. Anything with weight and space: Matter
2. Space taken up by matter: Volume
3. Solids: Definite shape and volume
4. Liquids: Definite volume, no definite shape
5. Gases: No definite shape or volume
6. Molecules in solids: Closely packed
7. Molecules in liquids: Loosely packed
8. Molecules in gases: Free to move
9. Solids that dissolve in water: Soluble substances
10. Solids that don’t dissolve: Insoluble substances
11. Solid to liquid change: Melting
12. Solid dissolved in liquid: Solution
13. No more solid can dissolve: Saturated solution
14. Liquid that dissolves solid: Solvent

■ Human Teeth & Oral Health


1. Children have 20 milk teeth
2. Adults grow 32 permanent teeth
3. Hard outer layer: Enamel (helps chew, crush, grind)
4. Types of teeth:
- Incisors (8): Cut
- Canines (4): Tear
- Premolars (8): Crush
- Molars (16): Grind
5. Nerves: Thread-like structures below enamel
6. Pulp: Soft part with blood vessels and nerves
7. Germs produce acid
8. Acid can damage enamel
9. Eating with cavity teeth causes pain
10. Bacteria: Smallest and most abundant microbe

■ Microbes & Their Uses


1. Bacteria live in wet places
2. Protozoa cause diseases like malaria
3. Fungus grows on dead things and bread
4. Yeast (a fungus) used in making bread
5. Bacteria used in making curd
6. Microbes that cause disease: Germs
