Question 11. Air at high altitude has a higher percentage of oxygen as compared to that at low altitude.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
The percentage of oxygen in the airis same at sea level as it is at high altitudes, which is around 21%. However, at high altitudes the pressure is lower and air is more spread out. This leadsto less oxygen availability for the body in each breathe.
Question 12. Choose the odd one out.
  1.    Rustling of leaves
  2.    Flying of kite
  3.    Driving a car
  4.    Moving blades of a windmill
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Driving a car
:
C
Rustling of leaves, flying of kite and moving blades of a windmill are the events that occur due to the movement of air. While for driving a car,movement of air is not required.
Question 13. During respiration plants absorb________.
  1.    hydrogen
  2.    oxygen
  3.    carbon dioxide
  4.    nitrogen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> oxygen
:
B
During respiration, plants absorb oxygen, break down their food and release carbon dioxide.
Oxygen + Glucose Carbon dioxide + Water + Heat energy
Question 14. If you take ice cold water in a glass tumbler, you will observe some water droplets on its outer surface. What can we infer from this?
  1.    Air occupies space.
  2.    Air contains nitrogen gas.
  3.    Air contains water vapour.
  4.    Air contains oxygen gas.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Air contains water vapour.
:
C
Air is a mixture of many gases. It also contains a small percentage of water vapour (gaseous state of water). When the water vapour present in the air comes in contact with the tumbler containing cold water, it condenses to form tiny droplets on the outer surface of the tumbler.
Question 15. Air is present inside water.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Air is present inside water in dissolved state. It is because of this that aquatic species are able to breathe inside water.
Question 16. Air supports burning.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Air consists ofoxygen which assists burning. Oxygen is necessary for burning of every substance.
Question 17. During photosynthesis, plants take in ___ gas and release ___ gas.
  1.    carbon dioxide, oxygen
  2.    oxygen, carbon dioxide
  3.    oxygen, methane
  4.    water vapour, methane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> carbon dioxide, oxygen
:
A
The process by which the plant leaves absorb carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis happens in the presence of sunlight.
Carbon dioxide + Water sunlight Sugar + Oxygen.
Question 18. Air is not present in:
  1.    Buildings
  2.    Ocean
  3.    Vacuum
  4.    Caves
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Vacuum
:
C
A vacuum is a space where there is no matter. Even, the air is not present in it. Therefore, the air is present everywhere except in a vacuum.
Question 19. Air doesn't support burning.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Statement I is true and statement II is false
  4.    Statement I is false and statement II is true
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Air consists ofoxygen which assists burning. Oxygen is necessary for burning of everything.
Question 20. Statement I: Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them while climbing high mountains.
Statement II: The percentage of oxygen in air decrease with increasing altitude.
  1.    Statement I is true and statement II is the correct explanation
  2.    Both statements are false
  3.    Statement I is true and statement II is false
  4.    Statement I is false and statement II is true
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Statement I is true and statement II is false
:
C
The percentage of oxygen in airis the same at sea level as it is at high altitudes, which is around 21%. However, at high altitudes the pressure is lower and air is more spread out leading to less oxygen availbility for ourbody. Hence, mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them while climbing high mountains.
