All living things need energy to do work and for growth and repair. They get this energy from the food. Our body uses this energy for doing work. We eat different varieties of food like rice, bread, vegetables, eggs, butter, sweets, cheese, etc. Materials needed to prepare any food item are called ingredients. Two or more than two ingredients are needed to prepare a dish.

Parasites - The organisms which depend on other living organismsfor their food are called parasites. For example, cascuta, tapeworm, liver fluke etc. There are two types of parasites: Total parasite and Partial parasite. Parasites feed on a living organism. The organism on which it feeds is called host. And parasites deprives the host of valuable nutrients.

Vermicomposting involves degradation of organic matter into fertile manure by using special type of earthworms called as red worms. The nutrient rich manure is called as vermicompost. The process of preparing manure with the help of red worms is called vermicomposting. The red worm is a type of earthworm that lives in the soil rich in organic matter. Organic soils are rich in nitrogen and carbon with plenty of moisture and microbes.

When light falls on an opaque object, a dark patch is formed on the other side of the object; if a screen is present on the other side. Three things are required for formation of shadow, viz. a source of light, an object and a screen. The size of shadow depends on the distance of source of light and on the angle at which the light rays fall on the object. If the source of light is closer to the object, a larger shadow is formed than when the source of light is far from the object.
