    Sometimes it is so cold that the water in a lake becomes ice.

    • Evaporation

    • Freezing

    • Melting

    • Condensation

    Correct Answer
    A. Freezing
    Explanation
    When the temperature drops significantly, water molecules lose energy and slow down. At a certain point, the molecules move so slowly that they start to form a rigid structure, known as ice. This process is called freezing. In the given scenario, the cold temperature causes the water in the lake to freeze and transform into ice.

    What change of state occurs during freezing?

    •  Liquid to Gas

    • Solid to Liquid

    • Liquid to Solid

    • Gas to Solid

    Correct Answer
    A. Liquid to Solid
    Explanation
    During freezing, a change of state occurs where a liquid substance transforms into a solid state. This process involves the lowering of temperature, causing the particles in the liquid to slow down and come closer together, forming a rigid and organized structure. This transformation is commonly observed when water freezes and turns into ice.

    The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. What is the name of the process that occurs when a liquid turns into a gas?

    • Melting

    • Boiling

    • Evaporation

    • Condensation

    Correct Answer
    A. Evaporation
    Explanation
    Evaporation is the process that occurs when a liquid turns into a gas. This happens when the molecules of a liquid gain enough energy to break the intermolecular forces holding them together and escape into the air as gas. Unlike boiling, which occurs at a specific temperature throughout the liquid, evaporation can happen at any temperature as long as the liquid has enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces.

    The flow chart shows part of the water cycle.   What is the name of process A?  

    • Evaporation

    • Condensation

    • Melting

    • Freezing

    • Option 5

    Correct Answer
    A. Evaporation
    Explanation
    Process A in the flow chart is evaporation. Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor, usually due to heat. In the water cycle, evaporation occurs when water on the Earth's surface, such as in oceans, lakes, and rivers, is heated by the sun and turns into water vapor, rising into the atmosphere. This process is essential for the water cycle as it helps to transfer water from the Earth's surface back into the atmosphere.

    The flow chart shows the movement of water through the environment. Name the process that changes water in the sea into water vapour.

    • Condensation

    • Evaporation

    • Precipitation

    • Collection

    Correct Answer
    A. Evaporation
    Explanation
    Evaporation is the process that changes water in the sea into water vapor. During evaporation, water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid surface and become a gas. This process occurs when the sun's heat causes the water to heat up and turn into vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere. Evaporation is an important part of the water cycle, as it helps to transfer water from the Earth's surface back into the atmosphere, where it can later form clouds and eventually return to the Earth as precipitation.

    Look at the diagram showing a plant growing. What happens to the roots when the plant grows? - ProProfs

    Look at the diagram showing a plant growing. What happens to the roots when the plant grows?

    • They absorb more sunlight

    • They are longer and deeper (into soil)

    • They just grows

    • They support the leaves

    Correct Answer
    A. They are longer and deeper (into soil)
    Explanation
    As a plant grows, its roots also grow longer and deeper into the soil. This allows the plant to anchor itself more firmly and access more nutrients and water from the soil. The longer and deeper roots also help the plant withstand wind and other environmental stresses. Additionally, the increased surface area of the roots allows for more absorption of water and minerals, which are essential for the plant's growth and survival.

    Condensation is the opposite of evaporation?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Condensation is indeed the opposite of evaporation. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas, while condensation is the process by which a gas turns into a liquid. During evaporation, heat energy is absorbed, causing the liquid particles to gain enough energy to escape into the gas phase. On the other hand, during condensation, heat energy is released, causing the gas particles to lose energy and come together to form a liquid. Therefore, condensation and evaporation are opposite processes that occur when there is a change in the state of matter from gas to liquid or vice versa.

    Look at the diagram showing a plant growing. What two things happen to the leaves when the plant grows?

    • They get the nutrients

    • They become green

    • They are larger and bigger

    • The leaves grow and die

    Correct Answer
    A. They are larger and bigger
    Explanation
    As a plant grows, one of the things that happen to its leaves is that they become larger and bigger. This is because as the plant grows, it needs more surface area to carry out photosynthesis and absorb sunlight. The increase in size allows the leaves to capture more light energy and produce more food for the plant.

    • Option 5

    Correct Answer
    A. Germination- pollination - fertilisation - seed production - seed dispersal
    Explanation
    The correct order of the life cycle of a plant is germination, pollination, fertilization, seed production, and seed dispersal. Germination is the process in which a seed begins to grow into a new plant. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ to the female reproductive organ of a plant. Fertilization occurs when the sperm from the pollen fertilizes the egg in the ovary, leading to the formation of a seed. Seed production involves the development and maturation of the seed. Seed dispersal is the method by which seeds are spread away from the parent plant to ensure the survival and growth of new plants.
