Answer the Following Questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nWhat are the common characteristics of living things?
\nAnswer:
\nThe living things show different specific characters.
\n1. Movement: – Most of the living things move from one place to another. They have the organs for movement like legs, wings, fins etc. Certain living things such as plants do not move from one place to another as they are fixed to the soil.
\n2. Food: – Acquiring food is also a character of living things. They acquire food for getting energy.
\n3. Growth: – Living things grow from time to time. Growth is a common phenomenon among them.
\n4. Breathing: – All living organisms inhale and exhale air from their surroundings. Many organisms have specialized organs for it. Plants have specialized organs called stomata for the exchange of gases.
\n5. Get rid of wastes: – Both plants and animals produce waste materials during life processes. They get rid of it by a process called Excretion.
\n6. Giving birth to young ones: – All living organisms give birth to young ones. Among them some animals lay eggs called Oviparous and some give birth to young ones called Viviparous. Plants produce seeds.
\n7. Responding to stimuli: The living things show response to stimulus in their surroundings. A change in the surroundings that make organisms respond to it is called stimulus.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nHow can you say that a tree is living even though it doesn 7 move?
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Tree has got the following characteristics of living beings though it cannot move.<\/li>\n
  • The plant body shows growth, taking food, breathing, getting rid of wastes, response to stimuli giving birth to young ones through seeds.<\/li>\n
  • So I can say that tree is living.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Question 3.
    \nWhat is a habitat? How can you say our house is a habitat?
    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • A habitat is a dwelling place for plants and animals that gives them optimum conditions for life.<\/li>\n
    • We live in houses that protect us from heat, cold and rain, etc. and are a shelter for us.<\/li>\n
    • We keep some animals and birds as pets in our houses.<\/li>\n

[Organisms on the surface are easily eaten up by others because there is little protection for them.] However, there is plenty of food and air. Fish usually come to the surface for food.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Pond margins<\/td>\nSeveral grasses, frogs, cranes, crabs etc. Fish usually lay eggs here.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Midwater<\/td>\nGreat water boatman, leech and mosquito larva are found in this region. Fish and crabs also swim around this region.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Bottom of the pond<\/td>\nThis region has plants like Hydrilla and animals like mussels, flatworms and some maggots (larvae of some insects). Light is minimum here, but food, in the form of dead and decaying matter is plenty.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

                  • The spider releases some poisonous materials into the body of an insect to paralyzes it and makes the prey into liquid form.<\/li>\n
                  • This liquid form of food is absorbed by the spider.<\/li>\n
                  • This is how a spider shares its habitat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
