Class 6 Science Chapter 6 MCQ

A chick hatching out of an egg is not a response to stimuli, it is a natural phenomenon of reproduction in hens that requires particular time period and temperature to occur. The other options are examples of response to changes in our surroundings (stimuli) which is a characteristic of living beings.

In plants, respiration, take place both during day and night. During daytime, all the carbon dioxide produced in respiration is used up by plants for photosynthesis and only oxygen produced during photosynthesis is released. The plants give out carbon dioxide produced in respiration only at night time.

All the animals need food, water, and air to survive or live, so all the animals (including human beings) are living things. Living things have many characteristics as they want food, air and water. Living things can respond to stimuli.

A new leaf coming out of a tree branch is not associated with reproduction. It is associated with growth. Reproduction is the process by which living things produce more of their own kind, Example – dog giving birth to puppy, seed growing into plant and chick hatching from egg.

Aquatic plant, fish, frog, insect represents only the biotic components of a habitat. The living things such as plants, animals and microorganisms in a habitat are known as its biotic components.

Roots of mango tree is odd one as it is not related to reproduction. The other options are directly linked to reproduction. Chickens are hatched from the eggs of hen. Many plants reproduce through seeds. Buds of potato tuber can grow to produce new potato plant.

If we see our favourite food, our mouth starts watering. In this case, the site of favourite food is the stimulus and watering of mouth is our response to it.

A small amount of concentrated urine would be excreted in desert. This will help to conserve water in the body.

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

Cultivated land with grazing cattle cannot be called a ‘habitat’. The cattle do not live in the cultivated land. They come there, only for feeding. A habitat is the surroundings where organisms live. It means a dwelling place i.e. aquatic habitats such as pond.

Potato stem tuber has many buds, called eyes on its body. One old potato tuber can produce many new potato plants. It is not necessary to plant the whole potato tuber in the soil to produce new potato plants. We can even plant cut pieces of potato in the soil to obtain new potato plants.

Reproduction is the characteristic of living organisms through which they produce more of their own kind. Thus, even after the organisms die, their kind continue to live on earth.

The animal having a stream-lined and slippery body lives in water habitat. These are adaptation to survive in water. Stream-lined bodies reduce resistance due to water and help in swimming. The slippery body makes movement through water easier. The other adaptations of these animals are gills for breathing, flat fins, tails etc.

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

The living beings have some common characteristic that makes them different from the non-living. These are respiration, reproduction, adaptations, excretion, growth, nutrition and movement.

Earthworms breathe through their skin. Their skin is thin and moist with plenty of blood supply of exchanges of gases. The other options are used by other organisms such as gills-fishes, lungs-humans and stomata-plants.

The snow leopard has a rounded body and small ears to keep the body surface area to a minimum.

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

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

We can see many plants growing in the water of ponds, lakes, rivers and even drains. The two examples of completely submerged aquatic plants are “Hydrilla” and “Vallisneria”.

The place or surroundings where a plant or animal lives is called its habitat. Actually, habitat means a dwelling place or home. A habitat provides food, water, air, light, shelter or protection and a place for breeding to the plants and animals living in it. We can say, some of the examples of habitat are desert, mountain region, tree, pond, lake, river, ocean etc.

The process by which living organisms produce new members of their species is called reproduction. A small part of a plant which is removed by making a cut with a sharp knife is called cutting. The cutting should be made in such way that there are some buds means growing points on it which is very necessary to grow a new plant.

Plants also respond to changes around them. In other words, plants also respond to stimuli. Plants respond to stimuli such as touch, sunlight, gravity, water and chemicals etc. We know that Mimosa plant which is commonly known as “sensitive plant” or “touch-me-not” plant. If we touch the leaves of a mimosa plant with our fingers, then its leaves fold up and droop. In this case, the touch of finger is the stimulus and the Mimosa plant responds by folding its leaves.

All the living things have a definite life span. Lifespan is the time period for which a living thing remains alive is called life span. No living things remain alive forever, except God. Thus, another characteristic of all living things is that they ultimately die.

As water is required for the germination of seeds and also photosynthesis. In other hand, water is essential for growth and energy to carry out various life process in animals.
