Questions and Answers

1.

Why have the sharks got scales?
- A.
  
  Because they can breath out of the water with the scales.
- B.
  
  Because they can eat with the scales
- C.
  
  Because they can breath in the water with the scales.
- D.
  
  Because they can see with the scales.
Correct Answer
C. Because they can breath in the water with the scales.

Explanation
Sharks have scales to help them swim efficiently in water. The scales reduce drag and turbulence, allowing the shark to move through the water with minimal resistance. Additionally, the scales provide protection against abrasions and parasites. They do not help sharks breathe out of the water or see, but they do assist in breathing by allowing water to flow over the gills.

- D.
  
  Because they can swim and run with this.
Correct Answer
C. Because that helps them swim throught water.

Explanation
Sharks have fins and a streamlined body because it helps them swim through water more efficiently. Fins provide stability and maneuverability, allowing sharks to change direction quickly. The streamlined body shape reduces drag, enabling them to swim faster and with less effort. These adaptations are essential for sharks to catch prey, escape predators, and navigate their marine environment effectively.

  The sharks eat the sharks.
- D.

Correct Answer
A. The sharks eat fish.

Explanation
The correct answer is "The sharks eat fish." This is because sharks are carnivorous predators and their diet primarily consists of fish. They have sharp teeth and powerful jaws that are adapted for tearing and consuming fish. While sharks may occasionally eat other marine animals, such as seals or sea turtles, fish are their main source of food.

Why do the birds fly?
- A.
  
  Bcause they have feathers.
- B.
  
  Because they have scales.
- C.
  
  Because they have wings.
- D.
  
  Because they have large bearks.
Correct Answer
C. Because they have wings.

Explanation
Birds fly because they have wings. Wings are specialized appendages that enable birds to generate lift and propel themselves through the air. The shape and structure of bird wings, including the feathers, allow for efficient flight by providing both lift and control. Feathers are lightweight and flexible, allowing birds to adjust their wing shape and angle to achieve different flying maneuvers. The ability to fly gives birds advantages such as accessing food sources, escaping predators, and migrating to different habitats.

Why doesn't the fish have lungs?
- A.
  
  Because they have got eyes.
- B.
  
  Because they can fly.
- C.
  
  Because they live in the water.
- D.
  
  Because they don't run.
Correct Answer
C. Because they live in the water.

Explanation
Fish do not have lungs because they live in the water. Unlike mammals and some other animals, fish have gills that allow them to extract oxygen from the water. These gills are specialized organs that enable fish to breathe underwater by extracting dissolved oxygen from the water and releasing carbon dioxide. This adaptation allows fish to live and survive in their aquatic environment.

Why do the animals eat?
- A.
  
  To run.
- B.
  
  To fly.
- C.
  
  To die.
- D.
  
  Because it`s a vital function!
Correct Answer
D. Because it`s a vital function!

Explanation
The correct answer is "Because it's a vital function!" because animals eat to sustain themselves and obtain the necessary nutrients and energy for their survival and growth. Eating is an essential biological process that allows animals to maintain their bodily functions, repair tissues, and carry out metabolic activities. Without eating, animals would not be able to survive for long periods as they would lack the necessary resources to support their bodies and maintain their health.

Why has the poison dark frog a lot of colours?
- A.

- B.
  
  Because they are very cute.
- C.

- D.
  
  Because it`s half chameleon and half frog.
Correct Answer
A. Because the bright colours are warnings to other animals of their poisonous toxins.

Explanation
The poison dart frog has a lot of colors because the bright colors serve as warnings to other animals about their poisonous toxins. These frogs are highly toxic, and their vibrant colors act as a visual signal to potential predators that they are dangerous to consume. This warning coloration helps to protect the frog from being eaten, as other animals learn to associate the bright colors with toxicity and avoid them.

The webbing between their toes allows for better propulsion and maneuverability in the water. Additionally, turtles are generally known for their ability to swim quickly, which aids in their survival and hunting capabilities.

Explanation

This natural camouflage allows them to remain hidden and increases their chances of survival in their habitat.

The dense hair also helps to protect them from harsh winds and extreme cold conditions, allowing them to thrive in cold environments.
