CBQ Question
Q1) A student observed a drop of pond water under a microscope and saw an amoeba
surrounding a tiny food particle with its pseudopodia.
Based on this observation, answer the following:
1. What is the process called by which Amoeba takes in food?
2. Explain in brief the steps involved in nutrition in Amoeba.
3. How is this process different from the way humans take in food? Mention any two
differences.
Q2) Raju visited his uncle’s farm and observed that the cows quickly ate grass and later
sat in a corner, chewing something repeatedly even though there was no fresh grass
around.
Based on this observation, answer the following:
1. Why do cows chew their food again even after swallowing it once?
2. Name the four compartments of a ruminant’s stomach.
3. What role do microorganisms in the rumen play in digestion?
4. How is nutrition in ruminants different from that in humans? Mention any two
differences.
Q3) During a science activity, Meena observed a cross-section of a tooth under a model
and noticed different layers. She also compared her front teeth and back teeth and noticed
they had different shapes and functions.
Based on this observation, answer the following:
1. Name the different parts of a tooth and explain the function of each.
2. List the four types of teeth found in humans and mention their functions.
3. Why are molars and premolars located at the back of the mouth?
4. What would happen if the enamel of a tooth gets damaged?
5. How is the shape of each type of tooth related to its function?
