  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 75.

  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. They moves 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.
Question 76.


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 77.


The muscles become shorter and thicker because of ________ .


  1.     contraction
  2.     relaxation
  3.     extension
  4.     tearing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> contraction
:
A
When contracted, muscles become shorter, stiffer and thicker. The exact opposite effect takes place during relaxation. They become elongated and loose. The contraction of a muscle pulls bone towards it. Muscles can only pull bones. So, two muscles work together in moving a bone.
Question 78.


Which of the following statements is correct about an earthworm?


  1.     Its body has very small bones that help in movement.
  2.     Its body is made up of many rings joined end to end.
  3.     It cannot extend and shorten its body.
  4.     Earthworms cannot move through soil.
 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 79.


Which of the following are merits of streamlined shape of fish?


  1.     Increases resistance of water while swimming.
  2.     Reduces resistance of water while swimming.
  3.     Reduces the speed of swimming.
  4.     Increases the availability of oxygen.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Reduces resistance of water while swimming.
:
B
Fishes have a streamlined body. This shape reduces the friction or resistance while the fish swims in water.
Which Of The Following Are Merits Of Streamlined Shape Of Fi...
Question 80.


The joint which allows rotation in a complete circle is known as a _______ .


  1.     hinge joint
  2.     fixed joint
  3.     ball and socket joint
  4.     pivotal joint
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> ball and socket joint
:
C

In a ball and socket joint, a bone ending with a ball-like structure fits into the socket of an adjacent bone. The bone with a ball-like structure has the capability to move nearly in all directions. These joints are present in hip joint and shoulder joints.
