Class 6 Science Chapter 1 MCQ

There are some animals which eat both plants and animals, called Omnivores.

A honeybee starts the honey making process by visiting flowers and gathering some of its nectar (sweet juices). This nectar is converted into honey and store in their hives.

There are some animals which eat only plants and plants products, called herbivores.

Banana and pumpkin plant has two or more edible parts. Their flowers and fruits are eaten as food. Brinjal and lady’s finger only have their fruit as the edible part.

Both plants and animals are the sources of our food. Generally, human beings come to a category of Omnivores.

All parts of banana (i.e. fruit, leaves, flowers and stems) except roots are edible.

We generally, eat leaves of spinach which contains several vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, iron, and calcium.

Milk, rice and sugar are the ingredients to making kheer except salt.

There are some animals which eat other animals called carnivores.

A small white structure grown out of the seeds when they get proper water, moisture, temperature, air. The seeds have sprouted.

Materials required to prepare a food item are called Ingredients. As an example, we take raw rice and boil it in water. Just two materials or ingredients are needed to prepare a dish of boiled rice.

Carrot, radish, beetroot, turnip and sweet potato are the example of roots that we eat.

Fruit is eatable part of the banana.

Producers can prepare their own food with the help of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide, called “photosynthesis”. e.g. green plants. Therefore, in all the option only coconut tree is a plant which makes food.

Pulses, peanuts, coconuts, almonds all are comes into seeds category that we eat.

Ingredients are the substance from which the food is made. With the help water [B] and soil [C], plants prepare their own food. The dietary fiber present in food which cannot be digested.

Animals that eat both plants and animals are called Omnivores. Such as, human beings, cockroach, wood peckers, etc. Herbivores are plant eaters, e.g. Goat, Sheep, Horse, etc. Carnivores are meat eaters, e.g. Eagle, Cheetah, etc.

When seeds are planted/wrapped in proper moisture condition, they first grow roots. When this happens, we say that the seed has sprouted. The scientific name for this process is “germination”. As the plant grows and begins to make its own food from nutrients it takes from the soil, it will grow into a larger plant.

Grass, oil cakes, hay, grains and vegetables are taken as food by cattle (e.g. cow, buffalo), which is present in option [A].

Chicken meat is known as “Chicken”, meat of cow is called “Beef”, deer’s meat is known as “Venison” and goat’s meat is known as “Chevon or Mutton”

Rice, urad dal, salt and water are the ingredients which are needed to prepare Idli.

The boiled seeds fail to sprout because boiling denatures or damages certain enzymes or proteins that are required for germination. Thus, boiling kills the seeds.

As a “fruit”, we take brinjal for making brinjal curry.

Nutrition is the process by which our body takes in food and uses it for growth and development. We get nutrition from foods and food has many nutrients which are required by our body for maintaining good health.

Plants also give us spices. Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, pepper, chili, cumin seeds and pepper are some of the plants that give us spices.
