21. We are able to bend or rotate our body in places where two parts of our body seem to be
joined together — like elbow, shoulder or neck. These places are called joints. Bones are
joined together at these joints. Bones cannot be bent. So, it is not one long bone from the
upper arm to our wrist. It is different bones joined together at the elbow. Similarly, there
are many bones present in each part of the body. We can bend or move our body only at
those points where bones meet. There are different types of joints in our body to help us
carry out different movements and activities.

Answer the following questions based on the above paragraph:

a) How many bones are present in an adult human skeleton?

b) Human skeleton has three main components- joints, ………… & …………….
c) What type of movement is provided by the joint present in our neck?
d) Name an organism which has an exoskeleton.
(1x4=4)

22. Abiotic factors like air, water, light and heat are important for the growth of plants. In fact,
abiotic factors are important for all living organisms. We find that organisms exist in very
cold as well as very hot climates, this is because they manage to survive through adaptation.
It does not take place in a short time because the abiotic factors of a region also change
very slowly. Those organisms which cannot adapt to these changes die, and only the
adapted ones survive. Organisms adapt to different abiotic factors in different ways. This
results in a wide variety of organisms in different habitats.

Answer the following questions based on the above paragraph:

a) What do you understand by the term ‘Adaptation’?

b) Name any two biotic factors.
c) Mention any one adaptive feature of lion which helps the organism in grassland
habitat.
d) What is common in the shape of fishes and birds which helps them in adapting to their
habitat? (1x4=4)

23. We use electricity for many purposes to make our tasks easier. Electricity makes it possible
to light our homes, roads, offices, markets, and factories even after sunset. This helps us to
continue working at night. A power station provides us with electricity. However, the
supply of electricity may fail, or it may not be available at some places. In such situations,
a torch is sometimes used for providing light.
A torch has a bulb that lights up when it is switched on. Electricity to the bulb in a torch is
provided by the electric cell. All electric cells have two terminals; a positive terminal and
a negative terminal. It produces electricity from the chemicals stored inside it.

a) What is an electric cell?

b) Name any two devices in which we use an electric cell.
c) ……………….is positive terminal of the cell while……………is the negative
terminal.
d) What is the direction of the current in the electric circuit? (1x4=4)

24. Redworms do not have teeth. They have a structure called a)…………. which helps them
in b)…………….their food. Powdered c)…………….or sea shells could be mixed with the
wastes. This would help redworms in grinding their food. A redworm can eat food
d)..………..to its own weight, in a day.

Or
Leaves prepare their food in the presence of sunlight and a a)…………… coloured substance
present in them. For this, they also use water and b)…………... This process is called
c)……………... . d) …………. is given out in this process. The food prepared by leaves
ultimately gets stored in different parts of plant. (2)
