Plant cells are different from animal cells in the following ways: (i) Plant cells have a rigid cell wall while animal cells lack cell wall. (ii) Plant cells have a green pigment called chlorophyll while animal cells lack chlorophyll. 5. Name an organism having characteristics of both plants and animals. Ans. Euglena posseses characteristics of both plants and animals. It contains green pigment chlorophyll (like plant) and lacks a cell Biology Class VI 6 Question Bank 6

7 wall (like animal). It can move from one place to another. 6. Mention the features in which living things differ from the nonliving things (4 points). Ans. Differences between living and non-living things: Living things Non-living things (1) Living things are made of a (1) Non-living things have no microscopic unit called cell. cellular structure. (2) Living things can respire. (2) Non-living things can not respire. (3) Living things can reproduce (3) Non-living things cannot to gives its own kinds. reproduce. (4) Living things respose to (4) Non-living cannot response stimule. to stimule. 7. Define the following terms: (i) Stimulus (ii) Reproduction (iii) Locomotion. Ans. (i) Stimulus: A stimulus is a detectable change in the internal or external environment. A response is an action which occurs as answer to a particular stimulus. For instance, cold weather, hot objects, sunlight and gravity are stimuli as a result of which respective responses like wearing of woollen clothes, withdrawal of hand, bending of plants towards light and downward growth of roots. (ii) Reproduction: Reproduction is the process by which living beings give birth to a new young ones. For example, a hen lays eggs which hatch into chicks and finally producing hens. A tree bears fruits which possess seeds. The seed develops into a young seedling and in due course of time, into a tree. (iii) Locomotion: Movement of animals from one place to another place, is called locomotion. Most of the animals show locomotion. Plants are fixed in the soil so they are unable to carry out locomotion, but show partial movement. Biology Class VI 7 Question Bank

8 8. Why do the leaves of the Mimosa plant droop down when touched? Ans. Mimosa is well known for its rapid plant movement. The leaves close up under various stimuli such as touching. The stimulus is also be transmitted to neighbouring leaves. The movement is caused by a rapid loss of pressure in strategically situated cells. 9. What is the difference between respiration and breathing? Ans. Difference between breathing and respiration: Breathing is the physical act that animals perform to take in oxygen-rich air and expulse oxygen-deficient air. Respiration is the chemical process by which cells breakdown energy-rich molecules to get energy to perform cellular functions. 10. How is a rose plant different from a butterfly? Give reasons to support your answer. Ans. We have following differences between a rose plant and a butterfly. Rose Plants Butterfly (1) Rose plant is a green woody (1) Butterfly is an animal that plant that can make its own cannot make its own food in the presence of food; so it feeds on sunlight. nectar. (2) Rose plant is fixed in one (2) Butterfly can fly from one place. place to another. (3) Rose plant has unlimited (3) Butterfly has limited growth. growth. (4) Rose plant has no specific (4) Butterfly has specific sense sense organ. organs. VIII. Choose the odd one out. 1. Organ system, Photosynthesis, Receptors. Ans. Photosynthesis. 2. Glycogen, Respiratory System, Chlorophyll. Ans. Chlorophyll. Biology Class VI 8 Question Bank 8

9 3. Unlimited growth, Autotrophic, Free locomotion. Ans. Free locomotion. IX. Differentiate between the following: (a) Growth and Movement. Ans. Growth Movement (1) Growth refers to an increase (1) Movement means a change in some quantity over time. of position that does not This quantity may be height, entail a change of location. width etc. (b) Autotroph and Heterotroph. Ans. Autotroph Heterotroph (1) Green plants can prepare (1) Animals cannot prepare their own food by the their own food so they are process of photosynthesis, depend on plants or other so they are called auto- animals. So they are called trophs. (auto-self; troph- heterotrophs (heterofood). other; troph-food) (c) Life cycle and Lifespan. Ans. Life-cycle Life-span (1) A lifecycle is the sequence (1) The period during which of stages in a living an organism completes organism i.e. birth, growth, its life-cycle is called its reproduction and death. life-span. (2) In case of animals, life-cycle (2) Life-span varies from starts with a single-celled organism to organism. For structure called zygote and example: bacteria has lifein plants it begins through span of 20 minutes and seeds or spores. tortoise has of 150 years. Biology Class VI 9 Question Bank

10 X. Answer the following questions: 1. Which of the following are living objects? Milk, honey, orange, hen s egg, curd. Ans. Orange, hen s egg. 2. A motor car moves, takes in oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide, consumes fuel but is not a living creature. In what ways does it not qualify as a living organism? Ans. A motor car can move, takes in oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide by consuming fuel but it is not a living creature because these all activities happen when this car is drove by a man. And other activities like reproduction growth etc. are also not shown by a car. 3. Name a plant which is not green, and one animal which does not move about freely. Ans. Mushroom, Sea-anemone. 4. Name one microscopic plant and one microscopic animal. Ans. Microscopic plant-alga (Chlamydomonas), Miscroscopic animal-protozoan (Amoeba) 5. Why do all living organisms need food? Ans. To perform different activities during the day, we require energy and this energy comes from the oxidation of food. So, food is required by all living things. Food also helps in the growth and maintenance of the body. 6. Which part of leaf takes part in exchange of gases? Ans. Tiny pores called stomata present on the surface of leaves takes part in exchange of gases. **** Biology Class VI 10 Question Bank 10
