I have stripes on my body that help me hide from my prey. I have soft pads under my paws that help
me walk quietly and follow my prey. My hindlimbs are longer than my forelimbs and help me to
jump effectively. The length of my body varies from 1.5 - 3 metres. Who am I?
1 tiger
2 snake
3 zebra
4 squirrel
Tropical rain forests are hot and have a heavy rainfall ranging from 200 to 400 cm every year. The
rains make the soil loose and shallow. Which of the following adaptation of plants helps them to
survive in this environment?
A. spiny stems that are swollen to store water

B. narrow needle like leaves to prevent loss of water by evaporation
C. broad waxy leaves with pointed tips and stilt roots for a better hold
D. roots that grow deep into the soil to absorb as much moisture as they can
An organism is found with these features - - thick layers of fat beneath its skin - strong sense of smell
- wide and large paws In which of these natural habitats is it MOST likely to be found?
A. deep in the ocean in warm regions

B. hot and dry desert
C. extremely cold environment
D. tropical forest
A student found the following information about the feeding relationships between some organisms
in a soil habitat. Dead organic matter, such as leaves, provides food for bacteria and soil fungi.
Earthworms eat dead leaves. Many millipedes feed on dead plant matter and also on soil fungi.
Nematodes feed on bacteria and are eaten by springtails. Centipedes are predators that feed on
earthworms, millipedes, and springtails.
(i) Draw a food web to show the feeding relationships described above
The place where organisms live are called habitat. habitat means a dwelling place
[A home] The habitat provides food water and shelter. And other needs for an
organism. Several kinds of plants and animals live in the same habitat. The plants
and animals that live on land are said to live in terrestrial habitats. Some examples
of terrestrial habitats are Forests, Grasslands, Deserts, Costal and Mountain
regions. On the other hand, the habitat of plants and animals that live in water are
called aquatic habitats. Lakes, rivers, and oceans are some examples of aquatic
habitats. The organisms, both plants and animals, living in a habitat are its biotic
components. The non-living things such as rocks, soil, air and water in the habitat
constitute its abiotic components
1. Meaning Of Habitat
A] Grassland
B] Dwelling place
C] Terrestrial habitat
D] All of the above
2. Which of the following is a aquatic habitat ?
A] Lakes
B] Forests
C] Oceans
D] Both A and B
3. Non-living things are the biotic components of the habitat.

a. True
b. False
4. Write a short note on biotic and abiotic components of a habitat
5. How terrestrial habitats are different from aquatic habitats?
The way food passes from one organism to another organism in a

community is a
a. foodweb
b. predator.
c. producer.
d. food chain.
Which list shows a possible order in which energy moves through an ecosystem?
a. herbivore, carnivore, Sun, producer, decomposer
b. Sun, producer, herbivore, carnivore, decomposer
c. Sun, producer, predator, consumer, decomposer
d. producer, Sun, carnivore, herbivore, decomposer
In an ecosystem, how are food webs and food chains different?
a. Food webs begin with animals, and food chains begin with plants.
b. Food webs rarely begin with plants, and food chains begin with animals.
c. Food webs show the relationship between many different food chains in a single ecosystem.
d. Food chains show the relationship between many different food webs in a single ecosystem.
Which of the following is not a long term adaptation?
A) Feathers in a bird
B) Tanning of skin
C) Prehensile tail
D) Stream lined body
Observe the diagrams given below and answer the questions given:
A. Label the food chain properly as per the trophic levels.
B. If the number of frogs shown in the food chain is suddenly reduced, then what can be different
effects on the food chain?
If the number of frogs (secondary consumers) is suddenly reduced, it will

negatively affect the successive trophic levels. Due to the scarcity of food
there will be interspecific competition for food resources among the
snakes and soon their population will decline. This will also adversely
affect the apex consumers like a hawk. Also, in the absence of a predator,
the population of grasshoppers (primary consumers) will rapidly increase.
This in turn will affect the growth of plants/grasses (producers).
Ultimately, this will lead to an imbalance in the food chain and the
ecosystem.
4(b)(i) less availability of light / light intensity ; less availability of carbon dioxide /
concentration of carbon dioxide
ii. food chains, any one from seaweedÆlimpetÆcrabÆseagull /
phytoplanktonÆmusselÆ crabÆseagull /
phytoplanktonÆzooplanktonÆmussel ÆcrabÆseagull ; arrows in correct
direction ; 2 4(b)
(iii) (increase) crabs no longer feeding on the mussels ; (decrease) seagulls have
fewer crabs to feed on ; so they eat more mussels instead ;
