Question 101. Trees on the mountain are cone-shaped, have sloping branches and needle-shaped leaves. This helps the:
  1.    Rainwater and snow to slide off easily from the leaves.
  2.    Rainwater to be absorbed easily by the leaves.
  3.    Rainwater and snow to stay on branches making them beautiful.
  4.    Rainwater and the snow to get accumulated on the branches.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rainwater and snow to slide off easily from the leaves.
:
A
Plants use a wide variety of physical adaptations. Some of these adaptations include their shape, leaf type, root system, and color. Trees on the mountain are cone-shaped, have sloping branches and needle-shaped leaves. This helpsthe rainwater and snow to slide off easily from the leaves.
Question 102. Both biotic and abiotic components play an important role for an ecosystem to sustain. 
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Biotic factors include all the living organisms in a habitat i.e., plants, animals, fungi, etc. Abiotic factors include all the non-living things in a habitat i.e., air, water, sunlight, temperature, soil, etc.
In an environment both abiotic and biotic components determine whether a species can sustain or not.
Question 103. Which of the following plant/tree is not terrestrial ?
  1.    Pines
  2.    Lily 
  3.    Oaks
  4.    Cactus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Lily 
:
B
Terrestrial habit includes the ones onland, like forests, grasslands and deserts.Terrestrial animals or plants are organisms that live on land. Pines, oaks and cactus are terrestrial trees. Aquatic animals or plants are organisms thatwhich live in the water. Waterlily is a plant that is found in the water.
Question 104. Plants and animals that live on land have a  ______ habitat.
  1.    terrestrial
  2.    aquatic
  3.    biotic
  4.    abiotic
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> terrestrial
:
A
Plants andanimals that live on land have a terrestrial habitat. Forests, deserts and grasslands are examples of terrestrial habitats. Plants and animals that live in water have an aquatic habitat.
Question 105. Identify to which category the plant belongs to.
1. Photosynthesis is carried out by stem.
2. Stem is covered by a waxy layer.
3. Leaves are in the form of spines.
  1.    Desert plants
  2.    Terrestrial plants
  3.    Aquatic plants
  4.    Plants in mountain regions
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Desert plants
:
A
Leaves are very small or reduced to spines in desert plants. This helps in reducing loss of water from the leaves through transpiration. The leaf-like structure in cactus is the stem that carries out photosynthesis. It is covered by a waxy layer, which helps the plant to retain water.
Question 106. The process by which living organisms get rid of their wastes is called ________ .
  1.    respiration
  2.    excretion
  3.    circulation
  4.    digestion
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> excretion
:
B
The process by which the living organism get rid of their waste is called excretion.
Digestion is the process during which food is broken down into nutrients.
Circulation is the process where the nutrients and oxygen are carried to all the cells by the blood.
Respiration is the process in which nutrients are broken down with the help of oxygen in the cells.
Question 107. The environment in which an organism lives is called its ______.
  1.    habitat
  2.    atmosphere
  3.    components 
  4.    region
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> habitat
:
A
The environment in which an organism lives is called its habitat. The organisms depend on their habitat for their food, water, air, shelter and other needs. Habitat is the dwelling place of the animal or a plant. Several kinds of plants and animals may share the same habitat.
Question 108. Which of the following processes occurs only in plant?
  1.    Respiration
  2.    Excretion
  3.    Transpiration
  4.    Digestion 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Transpiration
:
C
Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water in the form of water vapour through pores called stomata on their leaves.
Cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms to obtain energy.
Excretion is the process by which waste products are removed out from the organisms.
Digestion of food is a process that takes place in higher organisms like insects, birds and mammals.
Question 109. Which of the following organism do not give birth to young ones?
  1.    Blue whale
  2.    Lizard
  3.    Human
  4.    Rat
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Lizard
:
B
Blue whales, ratsand human beings are mammals. All mammalsgive birth to young ones, except platypus and echidna asthey are egg-laying mammals. Lizards, on the other hand, are oviparous i.e., they lay eggs andthey don't give birth to young ones.
Question 110. Which of the following is not a terrrestrial habitat? 
  1.    Desert
  2.    Grasslands
  3.    Forests
  4.    Pond
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Pond
:
D
Aquatic habitat is an ecosystem present in a body of water.Ponds, oceans, seas and rivers are examples of aquatic habitats.
Terrestrial habitatsare ones that are found on land, such as forests, grasslands and deserts.
