Total Questions : 100 | Page 6 of 10 pages
Question 51.


Air supports burning.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Air consists of oxygen which assists burning. Oxygen is necessary for burning of every substance.


Question 52.


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 53.


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 54.


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 55.


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 56.


Near polluted areas, the percentage of which of the following gases is higher than normal?


  1.     Oxygen
  2.     Carbon dioxide
  3.     Nitrogen
  4.     Argon
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Carbon dioxide
:
B
Air over industrial cities is polluted. This is due to the emission of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases from the factories and industries in their surroundings. Hence, the percentage of carbon dioxide is more near industrial cities compared to its normal percentage in the atmosphere.
Question 57.


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 air is 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 leads to less oxygen availability for the body in each breathe.


Question 58.


Aquatic animals use dissolved _________ in water for respiration.


  1.     salts
  2.     oxygen
  3.     nitrogen
  4.     carbon dioxide
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> oxygen
:
B

Aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water for respiration. A majority of aquatic animals like fish and prawns breathe through special organs called gills. Gills are projections of the skin that help in using oxygen dissolved in water.


Question 59.


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 60.


Arrange the following gases in ascending order of their percentages in the air.


  1.     Oxygen < Nitrogen < Hydrogen
  2.     Nitrogen < Hydrogen < Oxygen
  3.     Nitrogen < Oxygen < Hydrogen
  4.     Hydrogen < Oxygen < Nitrogen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Hydrogen < Oxygen < Nitrogen
:
D
The correct ascending order of percentages of the gases as per the composition of air is: hydrogen and other gases - 1%, oxygen - 21% and nitrogen - 78%.
