Answer the following (Short Answer)
1. Through which part of the body, fish absorbs oxygen?
Ans: Gills are used by fish to exchange gases that are present on both sides of the pharynx.
2. What do you understand by Excretions?
Ans: It is the process by which organisms expels metabolic waste products and other toxic substances from
their body.
3. Can a pinhole camera form an image which is bigger than the object?
Ans: A pinhole camera can form an image bigger than the object too. Pinhole camera forms real, upside down
and the size of the image depends on the distance between the pinhole and the screen on which image is
formed
4. In a completely darkroom, if you hold up a mirror in front of you, will you see a reflection of yourself in the
mirror?
Ans: In a completely dark room, there is no light present in the room. Thus, no reflection of light takes place by
the mirror placed in the room.
5. Classify the below materials as translucent or transparent or opaque:
Cardboard, water, glass, oily paper, stone, wood, and metal.
6. Write the features of desert plants. Any three.
Ans:  Leaves are very small or reduced to spines and hence they lose very little water through transpiration.
 The stem is covered with a thick waxy layer to retain water.
 Their roots grow very deep into the soil for absorbing water.
7. Leaf is called the food factory of the plant. Give reason.
Ans: Leaf is called the food factory of the plants because it makes food for the plant through the process of
photosynthesis.
8. Why do we need abiotic factors?
Ans: Abiotic factors are the non-living parts of the environment that have a major influence on living
organisms.
9. Explain the difference between the following.
 • Living and non-living organisms
Ans: All living things breathe, eat, grow, move, reproduce and have senses. Non-living things do
not eat, grow, breathe, move and reproduce.
• Autotrophs and heterotrophs.
Ans:Autotrophs are known as producers because they are able to make their own food from raw
materials and energy. Examples include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. Heterotrophs are
known as consumers because they consume producers or other consumers. Dogs, birds, fish, and
humans are all examples of heterotrophs.
10. What is Air? Name the gasses present in air. Write their percentage?
Ans: Air is made up of 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and other gases
in meagre amounts. Water vapour is also a constituent of air in varying amounts, along with dust particles.
11. Why do Earthworms come out of the burrows when it rains heavily?
Ans: An earthworm breathes oxygen by absorbing it through its moist skin. It likes damp soil, but if the rain is
very heavy, the oxygen in the water-logged soil may run out. Then the worm has to come up into the air to
breathe. On top of the wet ground, the worm can breathe and wriggle along.
12. When Salt is mixed in water, its level remains unchanged?
Ans: this happens because water molecules are not tightly packed and have space between them hence when
we dissolve the salt in it the salt particles occupy the space between the molecules of the water. thus the water
level doesn't rise up.
13. Why is water called a universal solvent?
Ans: Water is called "the universal solvent" because of its ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances due to
its polar nature.
14. A firki does not rotate in a closed area? give reason?
Ans: Moving air is responsible for rotation of firki in an open area. This moving air or wind is absent in a
closed area, that is why firki does not rotate in a closed area.
15. Air is necessary for burning? Give a reason?
Ans: Air is necessary for burning as it supplies oxygen which is essential for combustion.
16. If you hold up a mirror in front of you in a completely dark room, will you see a reflection of yourself in
the mirror? Explain.
Ans: In a completely dark room, there is no light present in the room. Thus, no reflection of light takes place
by the mirror placed in the room. Hence, no image will get formed by a mirror in a completely dark room.

17. How is the grouping of objects helpful for a shopkeeper?

Ans: Proper grouping of objects helps shopkeeper in the following ways: (i) He can locate the required
object easily and quickly. (ii) He can easily come to know what stocks are going to finish and he should
purchase them for his customers.
18. Mention the methods that can be used for the separation of the following mixtures:
• wheat, sugar and husk
• rice, gram and iron fillings
19. Name two liquids which are miscible with water?
Ans: Kerosene oil and water, petrol and water, mustard oil and water
20. Why do metals lose their luster when exposed to the air?
Ans: This is due to a chemical reaction between the metal and the gases in the atmosphere. Two examples are:
Aluminium which reacts to form a layer of aluminium oxide on its surface, the reason why aluminium foil is
unreactive unless the oxide layer is removed
21. How will you identify the type of roots by observing the leaves of some plants?
Ans: we can find out whether a plant has tap root or fibrous roots by looking at the impression of its leaves on a sheet of
paper. If the leaf has parallel venation, then it is likely to have fibrous root but if the leaf has reticulate venation then the
plant will have tap root.
22. Difference between Float and sinking materials.
 Ans: If an object is denser than that water, it will sink when placed in water, and if it is less dense than that of
water, it will float.
23. Difference between Soft and Hard materials.
Ans: Those materials which cannot be easily compressed, cut, bent or scratched are called hard materials.
Examples: Iron, glass. Those materials which can be easily compressed, cut, bent or scratched are called soft
materials. Examples: Sponge, Cotton.
24. How is a camel adapted to survive in the desert?
Ans: Camels are adapted to live in extreme environments, both hot and cold. Unlike a lot of other
mammals, most of a camel's fat is stored in its humps, which allows for better thermoregulation. It makes it
easier for them to release heat from their bodies in hot weather
25. Why do we need the grouping object?
Ans: Grouping materials is done to make it convenient for us to study all the materials. Objects are grouped on
the basis of their shapes, the materials they are made up of, and the properties of these materials. Materials can
be grouped on the basis of similarities or differences in their properties
26. How are leaf venation and type of roots in plant related?
Ans: The plants that have fibrous roots will have parallel venation and when the plant has a tap root, the plant
has reticulate or irregular venation that forms a complex network
27. What is composition of air?
Ans: Air is made up of 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and other gases
in meagre amounts. Water vapour is also a constituent of air in varying amounts, along with dust particles.
28. Does the direction of shadow change during the day? Does the length of shadow also change from
season to season?
Ans: The direction of sunrise varies with change in seasons. Due to this, the direction of sun rays also
changes. So, size and direction of shadow changes with change in seasons.
29. Explain why during an incident of fire, one is advised to wrap a woolen blanket over a burning object.
Ans: Blanket cuts the supply of oxygen to the object that is burning, thereby prevents it from further
30. How is density of an object related to its floating or sinking?
Ans: Density is a measure of how heavy something is compared to its size. If an object is denser than water it
will sink when placed in water, and if it is less dense than water it will float. Density is a characteristic
property of a substance and doesn't depend on the amount of substance.
31. How will you separate pure water from a solution of salt in water?
Ans: Simple distillation is a method for separating the solvent from the solution. Pure water can be separated
from the salt solution by a simple distillation method. This method works because water has a much lower
boiling point than salt. When the solution is heated, the water evaporates
32. What are unisexual and bisexual flowers?
Ans: UNISEXUAL FLOWERS: A flower that possesses either stamens or carpels but not both are called
unisexual flowers. Examples include coconut flowers, papaya, watermelon etc.
BISEXUALFLOWERS: A flower that possesses both stamens and carpels. Examples include lily, rose,
sunflower etc.
33. How do desert plant conserve the available water in their body?
Ans: Desert plants conserve water by minimizing water loss through the surface of their leaves. Many have
the ability to close leaf pores, called stomata, through which gas and water are exchanged, during drought
conditions
34. How will you identify the type of roots by observing the leaves of the same plants?
Ans: Yes, we can find out whether a plant has tap root or fibrous roots by looking at the impression of its
leaves on a sheet of paper. If the leaf has parallel venation, then it is likely to have fibrous root but if the leaf
has reticulate venation then the plant will have tap root.
