CHAPTER 4 : THE VARIOUS RESOURCES

ON EARTH
Importance of water to humans

and animal :
Carries nutrients to all cells
in our body.
Removes waste (urea) in the
urine and sweat.
Dissolves chemicals for
metabolic activities in cells.
Comprises 90% of the cells
protoplasm.
Importance of water to plants:
Makes food during
photosynthesis.
Transports organic material
(glucose).
Supports aquatic plants to
stand in water.
Importance of soil :
Habitat for living things.
Humus fertilizes the soil and
suitable for farming.
Contains mineral salts
needed for the growth and
development of plants.
Found in the soil.

Importance of mineral :
Steel is used for constructions
Copper is used to make electric cables.

Importance of living things to

human :
Provides food as source of
energy to carry out living
process.
Provides building material.
Provides clothes to protect
body from cold and heat.
Importance of oxygen :
For respiration of living cell.
Needed in burning.
Importance of carbon dioxide :
Produces food during
photosynthesis.
Composition in fire
extinguishers.
Importance of nitrogen :
Produces fertilizers.
Fills light bulbs to prevent the
filament from oxidation.
Example : Coal, petroleum and

natural gas.
Used to generate electricity in
power station.
Burning of fossil fuels provide
energy to vehicles.

CHARACTERISTICS
A substance which made up of only one type of atom , cannot be broken down into
any simpler substances by chemical or physical method.
Atom elements consist of individual particles.
- examples : Copper, Aluminium, Zink, Iron, Gold.
Molecule elements consist of combined atoms of the same type.
- examples : Oxygen gas, hydrogen gas.

Compound are substances

made up of two or more
elements
which
are
chemically combined.
Molecule is the smallest
particle in a compound.
Examples : A water molecule
is made up of two hydrogen
atoms and one oxygen atom.
PROPERTIES
Formed by chemical reaction
which involve exchange of
energy.
Properties of compound
differs from the properties of
its constituents elements.
The compound can only be
broken down into its
elements by chemical
methods such as
electrolysis.
The elements in a compound
are joined together in a
definite ratio.
DEFINATION
A mixture consist of two or more substances that have been combined physically.
Mixtures can be formed by mixing
Different elements
Different compounds
Elements and compounds
Examples : air, soil, orange juice, sea water, milk and etc.
PROPERTIES

Formed by physical methods which does not involved chemical reactions

Properties of constituents in a mixture is preserved.
Can be separated easily through physical methods.
The substances in a mixture can be mixed in indefinite ratio.
