Match the following. Column A Column B 1. Crab (a) Streamlined body 2. Soil (b) Saltwater 3. Pine (c) Fleshy stem 4. Cactus (d) Abiotic component 5. Fish (e) Pointed leaves

1-b Most of the animals are found in the salt water. Their body surface is slippery. They have scales on their body, so they are not affected by the saltiness of water. Crab is an example of saltwater animal. 2-d Ecosystem is composed of biotic and abiotic components. Soil is an example of an abiotic component. 3-e Pine trees are found mainly in the slopes of the mountains. These trees have cone-shaped tops with sloping branches. They have pointed needle-like leaves. These adaptations do not allow the snow to settle on them. 4-c Cactus is generally found in the desert land. It has a green and fleshy stem that stores water and food. The leaves are modified to spines to allow less water loss due to transpiration. 5-a Fishes like sharks and whales are also found in oceans. They are the largest aquatic animals in this planet. Their streamlined body helps them to move in water and gills help them to breathe. Column A Column B 1. Crab (b) Saltwater 2.
