Class 7 Science Chapter 6 MCQ

It is not only the human beings who need energy but also all the other animals and plants also require energy.

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

Cockroaches breathe with the help of air tubes called “tracheae”. Cockroach has spiracles on the sides of its body and trachea or air tube throughout inside its body for the process of breathing and respiration.

When we breathe in or inhale, then two things happen at the same time. First is, the muscles between the ribs contract causing the rib cage to move upward and outward and second is, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward. The upward and outward movement of the rib cage, as well as the downward movement of the diaphragm, both increases the space in the chest cavity and make it larger. When we breathe out or exhale, even then two things happen at the same time. First is, the muscles between the ribs relax causing the ribcage to move downward and inward and second is, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward. The downward and inward movement of rib cage, as well as the upward movement of diaphragm, both decreases the space in our chest cavity and make it is smaller.

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

Exhaled air contains more carbon dioxide than inhaled air. The air which we inhale contains a lower proportion of carbon dioxide. And during respiration when oxygen breaks down glucose food, then some carbon dioxide is produced. So, the exhaled air that comes out after the process of respiration contains a higher proportion of carbon dioxide.

The number of times a person breathes in one minute is called breathing rate. The average breathing rate in an adult human being at rest is 15 to 18 times per minute. During running, the breathing rate of an adult human being can increase up to 25 per minute or even more.

The process of respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis. This is because photosynthesis is the making of food like glucose by absorbing sunlight energy whereas respiration is the breaking of food like glucose to release energy.

Earthworms and frogs have moist and slimy skin that helps them to absorb the oxygen for respiration.

The accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles causes muscle cramps. During running or heavy exercise, we get muscles cramps. Generally, muscle cramps mean a painful contraction of muscles are called cramps. During heavy exercise some of our muscles respire anaerobically. The anaerobic respiration by muscles bring about partial breakdown of glucose or food to form lactic acid. This lactic acid accumulates in the muscles and reason for pain.

When extra energy is needed, anaerobic respiration can take place in our muscles for a short time not a long time.

All the organisms which obtain energy by anaerobic respiration can live without the oxygen. Yeast is an organism which can live without oxygen of air because it obtains energy by the process of anaerobic respiration. Those organisms which obtain energy by the process of an aerobic respiration are called anaerobes. Yeast is an anaerobe. It can survive in the absence of oxygen and converts glucose into alcohol. Therefore, it used in wine industry to make alcohol.

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

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

Breathing is a process by which air rich and oxygen is taken inside the body and air rich in carbon dioxide is expelled from the body, with the help of respiratory organs. It is a continuous process which goes on all the time and throughout the life of an organism.

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

The breathing is a physical process while cellular respiration is a bio-chemical process.

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

Smoking destroys the lung tissue gradually due to which breathing becomes very difficult. Smoking also damages the health of non-smokers who inhale the air containing tobacco smoke. And smoking kills gradually. Many people die every year from disease caused by smoking. The bad habit of smoking must be avoided to lead a healthy life.

Yeast is single-celled organisms that respires anaerobically producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. Glucose + No oxygen (Anaerobic respiration in yeast)  Alcohol + CO2 + Energy The alcohol is used in wine and beer industry, while the CO2 is used in bread making.

Insects have blood in their body but it is not red because it does not contain haemoglobin. Since the blood of insects does not contain haemoglobin, so it cannot carry oxygen to all the parts of the body. Every part of the body of an insect gets oxygen through a network of big and small air-tubes.

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

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

Test tube (A) contains a snail in water. The snail will use of oxygen for respiration and produce carbon dioxide. Test tube (B) contains a “water plant” in water. The water plant will do photosynthesis by using carbon dioxide and water and produce oxygen. The water plant will use some of this oxygen for respiration and produce carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide will then be used by the plant in photosynthesis. Test tube (C) contains both, a snail and a water plant. The carbon dioxide produced by the respiration is snail will be all used up by the water plant in photosynthesis. We conclude that the test tube containing only snail will have the highest concentration of CO2 because there is no plants to use up the carbon dioxide produced during the respiration in snail.
