Class 6 Science Chapter 11 MCQ

Bubbles of air came out from the bottle and some water entered into the bottle, when it was tilted.

During heavy rains, all the spaces in soil which contained air get filled by rain water leaving no air in the soil for the earthworms to breathe in. Due to this, the earthworms have to come out of the soil to obtain air for breathing or respiration.

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

As we go up above the sea level, the atmospheric pressure goes on decreasing and the amount of oxygen also decreases at higher altitude. This is why, mountaineers carry oxygen, cylinders with them.

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The major part of air which support burning candle, is oxygen not nitrogen.

Here, all these statements are incorrect. Hence, your answer will be option [D]. In option [A]: Air helps in the dispersal of seeds and pollen of flowers of several plants. In option [B]: Air has role for burning of phosphorus. Thus phosphorus reacts with air. In option [C]: Air has big role for flying aeroplanes and helicopters.

Dust and smoke present in air are harmful to living beings. Note: Breathing in air containing smoke and dust may enter our respiratory system (lungs, etc.) and damage our health.

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Air plays an important role in the water cycle because hot air, being lighter, rises up and carries the water vapour high up in the sky and helps in the bringing rain.

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The composition of air is not always exactly the same. The composition of air changes slightly from place to place and the season to season. For example, the air over in industrial cities usually has a higher amount of carbon dioxide in it, than the air over open spaces. The air in coastal areas may have more water vapour than inland areas. The air also contains more water vapour in rainy season. Similarly, the amount of dust in the air is more in windy places than other places.

The bubbles contain air because soil absorbs some amount of air. The air is present in the spaces between the soil particles.

Air is a mixture of many gases. Generally, air is mainly a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases with small amounts of carbon dioxide gas, water vapour and other gases. And some dust particles may also be present in air. Remember the composition of air is not always exactly the same.

The components of air which is utilized by the plants in respiration is oxygen. Thus, animal depends on plants for getting oxygen gas for reparation or breathing and plants depend on animals for getting carbon dioxide gas for photosynthesis only in day time or presence of sunlight, but respiration occurs always (day-night) in plants.

Air is a mixture of many gases. The major components of air is nitrogen gas. Almost four-fifths of air is nitrogen gas. The second major component of air is oxygen gas. About one-fifth of air is oxygen gas. In addition to nitrogen and oxygen gases, air also contains some small amounts of carbon dioxide gas water vapour and other gases (such as argon and helium etc.). The air may also contain some dust particles also.

When the divers go deep into sea water, they carry oxygen gas cylinders with them. This oxygen gas is used by divers for breathing while they are underwater. This is because there is no free oxygen in the sea water which can be used by the drivers for breathing. Therefore, the little dissolved oxygen present in sea water cannot be used for breathing (as we haven’t gills) by human beings. It can be used only by animals like fish (as they have special organ like gills) which live in water.

Air is a mixture of many gases. Generally, air is mainly a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases with small amounts of carbon dioxide gas, water vapour and other gases. And some dust particles may also be present in air. Air contains 78 % nitrogen, 21% oxygen and remaining 1% contains carbon di oxide, water vapor, dust particles and other gases.

The composition of air is not always exactly the same. The composition of air changes slightly from place to place and the season to season. For example, the air over in industrial cities usually has a higher amount of carbon dioxide in it, than the air over open spaces. The air in coastal areas may have more water vapour than inland areas. The air also contains more water vapour in rainy season. Similarly, the amount of dust in the air is more in windy places than other places.

The plants get fertilizers, carbon dioxide, and irrigation from humans, except an oxygen. Thus, animal depends on plants for getting oxygen gas and plants depend on animals for getting carbon dioxide gas.

Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gas (domestic or bottled), coal, oil, coke and wood. Gas stoves, fires, heating boilers, gas-powered water heaters, paraffin heaters, and solid fuel-powered water heaters are all potential sources of carbon monoxide. Air do not contain these types of gases. Air is a mixture of many gases. Generally, air is mainly a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases with small amounts of carbon dioxide gas, water vapour and other gases. And some dust particles may also be present in air. Remember the composition of air is not always exactly the same.

If we find out that there is air in a sponge, we should squeeze the sponge in water. The air present in sponge, the bubbles comes out from the sponge when we squeeze it in water. The air shows as form of the bubbles which is present in sponge.

We get oxygen, fuel and food from plants, except carbon dioxide. Animal depends on plants for getting oxygen gas and plants depend on animals for getting carbon dioxide gas.

When the burning clothes of a person are covered with woolen blanket, then the supply of fresh air is cut off and hence the clothes stops burning or the fire gets extinguished. The three things which are essential to ignite any fire. As oxygen, heat, and fuel are frequently referred to as the “fire triangle.” The important thing to remember is: take any of these four things away, and you will not have a fire or the fire will be extinguished. Remember, wool is comparatively capable to trap much more air than any others fibres. And fire will be stop due to lack of oxygen.
