Science Test - Answer Key
Q1(a): Reflection
Q1(b): Xerophyte
Q1(c): Opaque substances
Q1(d): Nitrogen
Q1(e): Root
Q2(a): True
Q2(b): False (Leaves appear green due to chlorophyll)
Q2(c): True
Q2(d): False (Nitrogen is about 78%, Oxygen ~21%)
Q2(e): False (e.g., sodium and potassium are soft)
Q3: Rice, potato (or bread, wheat, etc.)
Q4: The candle goes out as oxygen is used up inside the jar.
Q5: Filtration, decantation (also sieving, handpicking)
Q6: Transport oxygen to body cells.
Q7: Provides oxygen and protects from harmful rays; maintains temperature.
Q8: Mixture: components retain properties, separated physically. Compound: fixed ratio, new properties, separat
Q9: Photosynthesis for food, exchange of gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide).
Q10: Good conductors of heat/electricity, malleable and ductile.
Q11: Because oxygen level is low at high altitudes.
Q12: Refrigeration, pickling (also drying, salting).
Q13: Leads to obesity, heart problems, deficiency of nutrients.
Q14: Regular: smooth surface, parallel rays remain parallel. Diffused: rough surface, rays scatter. (Diagram need
Q15: Shadows: dark, no color, only shape. Images: show details, color, size variation.
Q16: Loss of water as vapor from leaves; helps in cooling, upward water movement.
Q17: Because of the slanting angle of sunlight in morning/evening.
Q18: Dissolves most substances, facilitates reactions, carries nutrients in living beings.
Q19: Xylem: transports water. Phloem: transports food.
Q20: Use magnet for iron, dissolve salt in water, filter sand, evaporate water for salt.
Q21: Balanced diet has all nutrients in right proportion. Benefits: good health, proper growth.
Q22: Luminous: emit light (Sun, bulb). Non-luminous: reflect light (moon, book).
Q23: Water cycle: evaporation → condensation → precipitation → collection. (Diagram)
Q24: Air is a mixture: contains nitrogen ~78%, oxygen ~21%, CO■, water vapor, noble gases.
Q25: Leaf has midrib, veins, lamina, stomata. (Diagram)
Q26: Oxygen for breathing, CO■ for plants, dispersal of seeds, moderates temperature.
Q27: Types of motion: rectilinear (car), circular (fan), periodic (pendulum), rotational (Earth).
