  • 2. 

    Which item is a NEED?

    • Food

    • Games

    • TV

    • Book

    • PlayStation

    Correct Answer
    A. Food
    Explanation
    Food is a basic necessity for survival and is essential for maintaining good health and providing the body with energy and nutrients. It is a need because without food, a person cannot sustain themselves or function properly. Games, TV, books, and PlayStation, on the other hand, are not essential for survival and can be considered as wants or luxuries rather than needs.

  • 3. 

    Which need air, water and food?

    • Correction tape

    • Pen

    • Plants

    • None of the above 

    Correct Answer
    A. Plants
    Explanation
    Plants need air, water, and food to survive. They require air for respiration, water for hydration and nutrient absorption, and food in the form of sunlight and nutrients from the soil. Plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy and nutrients to grow and reproduce. Without these essential elements, plants would not be able to carry out their necessary life processes and would eventually die.

    Which of the following is a non-living thing?

    • Robot 

    • Kitten 

    • Piglet

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Robot 
    Explanation
    A robot is a non-living thing because it is a mechanical device that is programmed to perform tasks automatically. It does not possess biological characteristics or the ability to grow, reproduce, or respond to stimuli like living organisms do.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following can move on its OWN?

    • Money

    • Monkey

    • Washing machine

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Monkey
    Explanation
    A monkey can move on its own because it is a living being with the ability to move independently. Money and a washing machine cannot move on their own as they are inanimate objects and require external forces to be moved. Therefore, the correct answer is Monkey.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following things are living things

    • Toy boy

    • Ant

    • Fire 

    • Paper

    Correct Answer
    A. Ant
    Explanation
    An ant is considered a living thing because it possesses the characteristics of life. It is a multicellular organism that can reproduce, grow, and respond to stimuli in its environment. Ants also require energy to survive, which they obtain through consuming food. Additionally, ants exhibit complex behaviors such as communication and social organization, further indicating their status as living organisms.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which one is NOT one of the characteristics of a living thing?

    • Reproduces

    • Has Cells

    • Grows and Devlelops

    • Uses energy

    • Doesn't Move or Eat

    Correct Answer
    A. Doesn't Move or Eat
    Explanation
    The characteristics of a living thing include reproducing, having cells, growing and developing, and using energy. However, not all living things necessarily move or eat. Some organisms, such as plants, are immobile and obtain energy through photosynthesis rather than consuming food. Therefore, "Doesn't Move or Eat" is the correct answer as it is not a characteristic of all living things.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which of the following can make their own food?

    • Money plant

    • Elephant

    • Eraser

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Money plant
    Explanation
    Money plant is the correct answer because it is a type of plant that can undergo photosynthesis, a process through which plants make their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Unlike animals like elephants or objects like erasers, money plants have the ability to produce their own food, making them self-sufficient in terms of nutrition.
