Dekho, ek sacchai batata hoon. Class 10 ke bahut se students “Hamara Paryavaran” wale chapter ko halke me lete hain. Lagta hai — “yeh to aam samajh ki baat hai, padhne ki kya zaroorat.” Aur phir board exam me yahi chapter se 3-4 marks ke sawaal aate hain aur answers adhure reh jaate hain. Aakhir me marks cutte hain aur pata bhi nahi chalta kyun. Isi liye yeh hamara paryavaran class 10 notes aise likhe gaye hain jaise koi bada bhai samjha raha ho — taaki yeh 3-4 pakke marks tumhare haath se na jaayein.
Yeh chapter chhota hai, lekin usme jo concepts hain — ecosystem, food chain, 10% law, ozone layer — yeh har saal board me poochhe jaate hain. Aur acchi khabar yeh hai ki agar ek baar sahi se samajh aa gaya, to bhoolta nahi. To chalo, NCERT Class 10 Science Chapter 13 “Our Environment” par based yeh hamara paryavaran class 10 notes bilkul simple bhasha me samajhte hain.
Ecosystem kya hota hai?
Ecosystem matlab ek aisa system jahan jeevit (living) aur nirjeev (non-living) cheezein ek doosre par nirbhar hokar rehti hain.
- Biotic components — jeevit cheezein: ped-paudhe, janwar, keede-makode, bacteria. Simple shabdon me — jo saans lete hain, badhte hain.
- Abiotic components — nirjeev cheezein: mitti, paani, hawa, dhoop, tapmaan. Yeh sab jeevit cheezon ko zinda rehne me madad karte hain.
Rozmarra ka example socho: tumhare ghar ka bagicha. Paudhe (biotic), keede (biotic), dhoop, paani, mitti (abiotic) — sab milkar ek chhota sa ecosystem banate hain.
Ecosystem do tarah ke hote hain:
- Natural ecosystem — jo prakriti ne banaya: jungle, talab, samundar.
- Artificial ecosystem — jo insaan ne banaya: ghar ka aquarium, khet, park.
Food chain aur food web me farq
Food chain matlab khane ki ek seedhi — kaun kisko khaata hai, ek seedhi line me. Example:
Ghaas → Bakri → Manushya
Ghaas ko bakri khaati hai, bakri ko… samajh gaye. Ek seedha rasta.
Food web matlab bahut saari food chains ka jaal. Asli jungle me bakri sirf ghaas nahi khaati — woh patte, jhaadiyan bhi khaati hai. Aur bakri ko sirf insaan nahi, sher-bhediya bhi khaate hain. Jab yeh saare raste aapas me jud jaate hain, to food web banta hai.
Board exam me yeh farq aksar poochha jaata hai — ek line me yaad rakho: chain = single path, web = interconnected paths.
Trophic level aur 10% law — chapter ka sabse important hissa
Trophic level matlab khane ki seedhi ka step. Mushkil shabd hai, matlab simple hai:
- Pehla trophic level — Producers (hare-bhare ped-paudhe). Yeh suraj ki roshni se apna khana khud banate hain.
- Doosra trophic level — Primary consumers (shakahari janwar: bakri, hiran, keede).
- Teesra trophic level — Secondary consumers (chhote mansahari: mendhak, chhoti machhli).
- Chautha trophic level — Tertiary consumers (bade mansahari: saanp, badi machhli).
- Paanchva trophic level — Top carnivores (sher, baaz).
Ab sawaal: agar paudhon ke paas 10,000 Joules energy hai, to sher tak kitni pahunchegi? Yahan aata hai 10% law, jo Lindeman ne diya tha.
10% law kehta hai — ek trophic level se agle level tak sirf lagbhag 10% energy transfer hoti hai. Baaki 90% saans lene, pachan aur garmi ke roop me kharch ho jaati hai.
Hisaab lagao:
- Paudhe (T1): 10,000 J
- Shakahari (T2): 10% = 1,000 J
- Chhote mansahari (T3): 10% = 100 J
- Bade mansahari (T4): 10% = 10 J
Isiliye food chain me aam taur par sirf 3-4 trophic levels hote hain — aage energy bachti hi nahi itni ki zindagi chal sake. “Food chain me sirf 3-4 levels kyun hote hain?” — yeh board ka favourite question hai, jawab hai 10% law.
Ek aur fact: paudhe suraj ki padne wali energy ka sirf 1% hi pakad paate hain. Aur energy ka flow hamesha ek hi direction me hota hai (unidirectional) — suraj → producers → consumers. Wapas nahi jaati.
Biological magnification — zehar upar chadhta hai
Kheton me jo pesticides aur keetnashak daale jaate hain (jaise DDT), woh mitti aur paani me mil jaate hain. Paudhe unhe paani ke saath soak lete hain. Phir bakri paudha khaati hai, insaan bakri ya anaaj khaata hai.
Yeh chemicals biodegradable nahi hote — toot-te nahi. Har trophic level par inka concentration badhta jaata hai. Isko kehte hain biological magnification ya biomagnification.
Isiliye sabse zyada zehar uske shareer me jama hota hai jo food chain ke sabse upar hai — matlab hum insaanon me. Yahi wajah hai ki gehu-chawal, sabziyon aur phalon me pesticide ke ansh milte hain, jo dhone se poori tarah nahi nikalte.
Ozone layer aur uska ghaata
Ozone layer dharti ke upar stratosphere me hoti hai — lagbhag 15 se 30 km ki unchai par. Yeh suraj ki hanikarak UV rays ka 95% se zyada hissa soak leti hai. Simple me kaho to yeh dharti ka “sunscreen” hai. Agar yeh kamzor ho jaaye to skin cancer, aankhon ka motiyabind aur kamzor immunity jaise khatre badh jaate hain.
Is layer ko nuksaan pahunchate hain CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) — jo purane refrigerator, AC aur spray cans me istemal hote the. 1985 me Antarctica ke upar ozone layer me ek chhed (ozone hole) discover hua tha.
Is par duniya ne action liya: 16 September 1987 ko Montreal Protocol sign hua, jisme CFCs ke production par rok lagayi gayi. Isiliye har saal 16 September ko World Ozone Day manaya jaata hai. Board exam me “Montreal Protocol kab hua?” — jawab: 1987.
Biodegradable vs non-biodegradable waste
- Biodegradable waste — jo microorganisms (bacteria, fungi) se toot kar mitti me mil jaata hai: sabzi ke chilke, kagaz, bacha khana.
- Non-biodegradable waste — jo microorganisms se nahi toot-ta: plastic, DDT jaise chemicals. Yeh saalon tak environment me pada rehta hai.
Waste management ka sabse simple formula hai 3R:
- Reduce — kam kachra paida karo (zarurat se zyada mat kharido).
- Reuse — cheezon ko dobara istemal karo (purani bottle me paani bharna).
- Recycle — kachre ko nayi cheez me badlo (purane kagaz se naya kagaz).
Aur sabse pehla kadam: kachre ko alag karo — geela (kitchen waste) aur sookha (plastic, kagaz) alag-alag.
Board exam me aksar poochhe jaane wale points
- Ecosystem ke biotic aur abiotic components ke 2-2 examples.
- Food chain aur food web me antar (1-2 marks).
- 10% law kya hai, kisne diya (Lindeman), aur numerical: di gayi energy se agle level ki energy nikaalna.
- Food chain me 3-4 trophic levels hi kyun hote hain.
- Biological magnification kya hai, example ke saath (DDT/pesticides).
- Ozone layer kahan hoti hai, CFCs ka effect, Montreal Protocol ka saal.
- Biodegradable vs non-biodegradable ke examples.
- 3R ka full form aur matlab.
Aam galtiyan jo students karte hain
- Energy flow aur nutrient cycle ko ek jaisa samajhna — energy ka flow ek direction me hota hai (wapas nahi aata), lekin nutrients recycle hote hain. Dono alag hain.
- Trophic level ki ginti galat karna — producers hamesha pehla level hote hain. Bakri doosra, mendhak teesra. Numerical me step miss mat karo.
- 10% law me 1% bhoolna — paudhe suraj ki sirf 1% energy pakadte hain; 10% law trophic levels ke beech lagta hai. Dono confuse mat karo.
- Montreal Protocol ka saal galat likhna — 1987 hai, aur Ozone Day 16 September. Dono yaad rakho.

- 3R: “Kam karo, Kaam me lao, Chakr me daalo” — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
- Montreal 1987: “87 me duniya ne ozone bachane ki kasam khai” — aur Ozone Day bhi isi din (16 Sept).
FAQs
Q1. Kya energy food chain me wapas producers tak aa sakti hai?
Nahi. Energy ka flow unidirectional hota hai — suraj se producers, phir consumers tak. Jo energy garmi ya saans me kharch ho gayi, woh wapas nahi aati.
Q2. Biological magnification aur food chain ka kya rishta hai?
Jitne upar ke trophic level par jaoge, non-biodegradable chemicals (jaise pesticides) ka concentration utna badhega. Insaan top par hai, isliye uske shareer me sabse zyada jama hota hai.
Q3. Kya ozone layer poori tarah khatm ho sakti hai?
Montreal Protocol ke baad CFCs par rok se ozone layer dheere-dheere recover ho rahi hai. Lekin poori recovery me kai dashak lagenge — isiliye protocol ka palan zaroori hai.
Q4. Board exam me is chapter se kitne marks ke sawaal aate hain?
Aam taur par 3-5 marks — short answers aur ek numerical (10% law) ya reasoning question (“food chain chhoti kyun hoti hai”). Chhota chapter, pakke marks.
