SECTION- E(
39. Read the following passage carefully and answer the following question.
The place where organisms live is called habitat. Habitat means a dwellingplace (a home). The
habitat provides food, water, air, shelter and other needsto organisms. Several kinds of plants
and animals live in the same habitat.The plants and animals that live onland are said to live in
terrestrialhabitats. Some examples of terrestrialhabitats are forests, grasslands, deserts,coastal
and mountain regions. On theother hand, the habitats of plants and animals that live in water
are called aquatic habitats. Lakes, rivers and oceans are some examples of aquatic habitats.
There are large variations among terrestrial habitats like forests, grasslands, deserts, coastal
and mountain regions located in different parts of the world.

The organisms, both plants and animals, living in a habitat are its biotic components. The non-
living things such as rocks, soil, air and water in the habitat constitute its abiotic components.

Q1. Habitat means.

a) Grassland
b)Dwelling place
c) Terrestrial habitat
d) All of the above

Q2.Which of the following is an aquatic habitat?

a) Lakes
b) Forest
c) Oceans
d) Both (a) and (c)
Q3. Non-living things are the biotic components of a habitat.
a) True
b) False

Q4. Write a short note on biotic and abiotic components of a habitat?

40. Read the following passage carefully and answer the following question.
Take a comb in your right hand and bring it to your hair and look at yourself in mirror. You can
see your own face in the mirror. This is your mirror image. Have you seen that some object for
example iron filling are attracted towards a magnet even way when they are not in direct contact
with each other this is because there is a reason around the magnet where its influence can be
felt and any magnetic substance that lies within this reason experience is the force. Thus, we
can define magnetic field as the reason around the magnetic where it influence can be felt.
Although magnetic field cannot be seen but they are method by which we can detect its
presence.

Q1. In your mirror image you appear to be holding the comb in your
(a) left hand
(b) right hand
(c) comb is not visible
(d) None of these is correct

Q2. The images of an object formed in a pin hole camera and that in a mirror are

(a) reflection of light
(b) bending of light
(c) Both the above
(d) None of these

Q4. Draw the magnetic filed lines of bar magnet?

it you find that whole of the salt has disappeared and only liquid can be seen in beaker.

Arnav kept bowl of juice in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator. He observed that the

liquid in beaker is
(a) water
(b) solution
(c) solute
(d) solvent
Q2. Which of the following processes will be useful to get salt from this solution?
