    Answer: Man modifies his environment to fulfill his basic needs, as it is the basic life support
    system. He builds houses to live in and industries to work in which modifies the environment and
    also its mineral wealth. Humans have used the fossils for their own development, disturbing the
    ecological system and animal habitats.
    (ii) Plants and animals depend on each other
    Answer: Plants and animals are interdependent on each other because plants are the producers
    and animals are the consumers. Plants release oxygen in the atmosphere which is inhaled by
    human beings and humans exhale carbon dioxide which helps plants in producing their own
    food.
