Which Of The Following Is Found In The Joints Of The Body?
Question 32. The muscles become shorter and thicker because of ________ .
  1.    contraction
  2.    relaxation
  3.    extension
  4.    tearing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> contraction
:
A

  4.    Increases the availability of oxygen.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Reduces resistance of water while swimming.
:

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Its body is made up of many rings joined end to end.
:
B
Body of an earthworm is made up of small rings joined end to end. It does not have bones. It has muscles that help to extend and shorten its body. This helps in the movement of the earthworms.
Question 36. Snakes
  1.    slither on the ground by looping side ways.
  2.    move with the help of tiny legs.
  3.    move with their skin.
  4.    move with tiny leg like structures.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> slither on the ground by looping side ways.
:
A
A snake uses its whole body for moving around. When a snake moves, it's body curves into many loops. Each loop of the snake gives it a forward push by pressing against the ground. The snake makes continious loops like this and moves forward.
Question 37. The joints in our body that move similar to opening and closing of the door are _______.
  1.    ball and socket joint
  2.    hinge joint
  3.    pivotal joint
  4.    fixed joint
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> hinge joint
:
B
Hinges helps in opening and closing of door. They allow forward and backward movements. Similar kind of joints are present in our body which help in forward and backward movements of our limbs. They are called hinge joints. This type of joint is found in the elbow and in the knee.
Question 38. ______ are the structures present in fish that helps them to maintain their body balance.
  1.    Fins
  2.    Feathers
  3.    Gills
  4.    Scales
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Fins
:
A
Fins present in thebody of fish helpthem maintain their body balance. It also helps them change their direction while swimming.
Question 39. ________ help the earthworm to get a grip on the ground.
  1.    Muscles
  2.    Bones
  3.    Bristles
  4.    Skin
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Bristles
:
C
Earthworms have a large number of tiny bristles (hair-like structures) projecting out. The bristles are connected with muscles. Theymoves by repeated expansion and contraction of their muscles. The bristles help the earthworms to get a good grip on the ground.
________ Help The Earthworm To Get A Grip On The Ground.
