All questions of Local Habitats for Grade 2 Exam

Teacher gave a list to Lata and asked her to write examples of the things whose characteristics were mentioned in the list.
The list completed by Lata is shown below:
1. Thing that can breathe, grow and reproduce: Ant
2. Non-living thing that can increase in size: Gel bead
3. Living thing that cannot move: Snail
​4. Thing that cannot breathe and reproduce but can move: Car
Which of the entries made by Lata are correct?
  • a)
    1, 2 and 3 only
  • b)
    1, 2 and 4 only
  • c)
    2, 3 and 4 only
  • d)
    2 and 4 only
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?



Explanation:

1. Ant
- Ant is a living thing that can breathe, grow, and reproduce. This fits the characteristics mentioned in the list.

2. Gel bead
- Gel bead is a non-living thing that can increase in size. This also aligns with the characteristics provided in the list.

3. Snail
- Snail is a living thing that cannot move. This matches one of the characteristics mentioned in the list.

4. Car
- Car is a thing that cannot breathe and reproduce but can move. This does not fully match the characteristics given in the list.

Therefore, based on the list provided by Lata, options 1, 2, and 4 are correct. So, the correct answer is option 'B'.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?
  • a)
    Non-living things can move by themselves.
  • b)
    Some living things can make their own food.
  • c)
    Living things can move by themselves.
  • d)
    Plants do not move from one place to another.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:
Living things possess certain characteristics that differentiate them from non-living things. One of these characteristics is the ability to move by themselves, which is why statement a) is incorrect.
Living things have the ability to move independently in response to stimuli from their environment. This movement can be seen in animals, plants, and even some microorganisms. Non-living things, on the other hand, do not have this capability as they lack the necessary biological processes and systems to initiate movement.

Key Points:
- Living things can move by themselves.
- Non-living things cannot move independently.
- Movement in living things is a result of biological processes and responses to stimuli.
- Movement is one of the defining characteristics of living organisms.

Which of these tell about the characteristics of a living thing?
1. A football decreases in size when deflated.
2. A caterpillar turns into pupa.
3. A flower grows into fruit.
​4. A ship moves in water.
  • a)
    1 and 4 only
  • b)
    1 and 3 only
  • c)
    2 and 3 only
  • d)
    2 and 4 only
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding Characteristics of Living Things
To determine the characteristics of living things, we must identify processes that are inherent to life. Let’s analyze the given statements:
1. A football decreases in size when deflated.
- This statement refers to an inanimate object (the football) and its physical change, not a living characteristic.
2. A caterpillar turns into a pupa.
- This illustrates a key characteristic of living organisms: growth and development. The transformation from caterpillar to pupa represents a biological process known as metamorphosis, which is a defining trait of living beings.
3. A flower grows into fruit.
- This statement also reflects a biological process. The growth of a flower into fruit demonstrates reproduction and development in plants, which are essential characteristics of living things.
4. A ship moves in water.
- Similar to the first statement, this describes the movement of an inanimate object (the ship). While movement is a characteristic of living beings, the ship itself is not alive.
Conclusion
By evaluating each statement, we find that only statements 2 and 3 describe characteristics of living things, focusing on growth and development. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C':
2 and 3 only.
This emphasizes the biological processes that define life, distinguishing them from non-living entities.

Study the given picture. What does it show?
  • a)
    Living things can grow, move, need food
  • b)
    Living things can move.
  • c)
    Living things need food.
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Kds Coaching answered
Living things exhibit several key characteristics:
  • Growth: All living organisms can grow in size and develop over time.
  • Movement: Living beings can move, either by themselves or through external forces.
  • Nutrition: They require food to obtain energy and sustain life.
Therefore, the correct understanding is that all these qualities are essential traits of living things.

Pick the odd one out.
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Correct Answer
The sentence "All ______ things can _____." requires us to fill in the blanks with appropriate terms. The correct option is "D) Non-living, not breathe." Let’s explore why this choice fits best.
Definition of Non-living Things
- Non-living things are objects that do not possess life.
- They do not have biological processes such as growth, reproduction, or respiration.
Characteristics of Non-living Things
- No Breathing: Non-living things cannot breathe. For example, a rock, a chair, or a car does not perform any respiratory functions.
- No Growth: They do not grow or change in a biological sense. A table remains the same size unless physically altered.
Comparison with Other Options
- Option A: "Non-Living breathe" is incorrect because non-living things do not have the capability to breathe.
- Option B: "Man-made, grow" is misleading as man-made items (like toys or furniture) cannot grow like living organisms.
- Option C: "Living, walk" is partially true, but not all living things can walk. For instance, plants and many microorganisms do not walk.
Conclusion
The option "D) Non-living, not breathe" accurately describes the nature of non-living things. They are defined by their lack of life and biological functions, making this the right fit for the sentence. Understanding these characteristics helps clarify the concepts of living and non-living entities.

Select the statement which shows that living things need non-living things to stay alive.
  • a)
    Living things breathe air.
  • b)
    Living things drink water.
  • c)
    Living things can reproduce.
  • d)
    Both (a) and (b).
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Kds Coaching answered
Living things require air (oxygen) for respiration and water for hydration, both of which are non-living things. Option (c), "Living things can reproduce," describes a characteristic of living things but doesn't directly relate to their dependence on non-living things for survival.
