Long Answer Questions

Q1: Explain the process of breathing in fish.
Ans: Fish breathe using gills. They take in water through their mouths, and as water passes over the gills, oxygen dissolved in the water is absorbed into the blood. The oxygen is then transported throughout the fish’s body. The water, after releasing oxygen, flows out through a flap, completing the process.

Q2: What is migration, and why do animals migrate? Provide examples.
Ans: Migration is the regular, long-distance movement of animals to find food, water, escape harsh weather, or find suitable places for reproduction. For example, bar-headed geese migrate to India during winter and return to the Himalayan mountains in summer. Whales migrate to colder parts of the ocean for feeding and to warmer waters for giving birth.

Q3: How do insects breathe? Explain the role of spiracles.
Ans: Insects breathe through small openings on their bodies called spiracles. Spiracles lead to a network of tiny tubes called tracheae, which deliver oxygen directly to the insect’s cells. This system allows efficient oxygen exchange without the need for lungs. Examples of insects that use spiracles include bees, grasshoppers, and butterflies.

Q4: Describe the feeding habits of herbivores with examples.
Ans: Herbivores are animals that eat only plants. They have broad, flat teeth designed for chewing plant material. Examples include rabbits, cows, goats, elephants, and tortoises. These adaptations help herbivores efficiently consume leaves, grass, fruits, and other plant parts.
