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.

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

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.

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].

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.

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

The carbon dioxide produced during respiration is also expelled from the body of the earth worm through its skin.

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

Excretion is the process of removal of waste substances from the body of a living organisms. The wastes include not just excess water but carbon dioxide, nitrogenous matter, feaces etc. It is an important characteristic of living organisms.

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.

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 only characteristic of living things shown by wheat seeds is respiration. As when we put our hand deep inside a gunny bag full of wheat grains. We will find that it is some-what warm inside. This means that some heat is being produced inside the gunny bag full of wheat. Actually, the wheat grains or wheat seeds respire and give out some heat energy during respiration. So, we can say that seeds are living thing because they undergo respiration.

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 non-living things in a habitat called abiotic component. Such as rock, soil, air, water etc.

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

The process of becoming accustomed to a different environment over short periods is called acclimatisation. The changes which take place in the body of an organism during acclimatisation are temporary and can be reversed. On the other hand, the changes which take place during adaptation are permanent and cannot be reversed.

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

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 fish has special organ of breathing called gills. The gills absorb oxygen dissolved in water.

Small part of plant which is removed by making a cut with a sharp knife is called a cutting. The plants such as rose, henna, grapes, sugarcane and cactus etc. can be grown by the cutting method. Wheat cannot be reproducing by cutting.

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.

The only characteristic of living things shown by wheat seeds is respiration. As when we put our hand deep inside a gunny bag full of wheat grains. We will find that it is some-what warm inside. This means that some heat is being produced inside the gunny bag full of wheat. Actually, the wheat grains or wheat seeds respire and give out some heat energy during respiration.
