(b) Two features of living things Living things can move, Living things can breathe, Living things need food.
(c) Two non-living things Table, Bucket

Q8: True or False
(a) All animals move with legs. False
(b) Living things get energy from food. True
(c) Plants cannot breathe. False
(d) Plants do not move from place to place, but their body parts may move. True
(e) Air is necessary for living things to get energy from food. True

EduRev Tips:

  • All the animals do not move with their legs, for example snakes.
  • Organisms use the stored energy in food to fuel all living processes.
  • Yes, like animals plants also breathe. All living organisms, including plants, receive their energy required for their survival from a chain of chemical reactions called respiration.
  • With their roots firmly stuck in the soil, plants may not have the ability to leg it like we do, but that doesn't mean they can't move. A seedling can make a right hand turn within hours, a tendril can curl around a stick in minutes, and a Venus fly trap can catch its lunch in under a second.
  • Yes the above statement given is absolutely: Air contains Oxygen which is intake by the living organisms like plants and animals for respiration.

Q9: Match the following 

(a) Snakes move using their  (i) Seeds 
(b) Plants reproduce with (ii) Muscles 
(c) Lifespan     (iii) Laying eggs 
(d) Toy is a       (iv) A period of which an animal lives 
(e) Snake reproduce by   (v) Non-living thing 

(a) Snakes moves using their - (ii) muscles

Snakes do not have limbs like other animals. Instead, they move using their flexible body, which consists of a long spine with up to 400 ribs attached. Muscles connected to the ribs help snakes crawl, climb, and swim, and wide belly scales help them grip surfaces.

(b) Plants reproduce with - (i) seeds

Plants that reproduce by seeds. Seed plants have special structures on them where male and female cells join together through a process called fertilisation.

(c) Lifespan - (iv) A period of which an animal lives.

Life span is the period of time between the birth and death of an organism.

(d) Toy is a - (v) Non-living Thing.

Toy is a non living thing as it cannot eat, see, grow etc.

(e) Snakes reproduce by - (iii) laying eggs.

Snakes that lay eggs are called oviparous. Most snakes develop eggs inside of them and eventually lay those eggs.


Q10: Fill in the blanks 
(a) Climbers such as money plants climb upwards with the support of a stick as they grow.
(b) Living things need food and air .
(c) Plants can feel sunlight and grow towards it.
(d) Living things need to breathe air to stay alive.

(e)  Reproduction means to give birth to young ones.

EduRev Tips:

  • Money plant is a climber. Climber is a plant which grows by taking support of another plant or any vertical surface. It rolls on the support and takes mechanical support to grow vertically. 
  • Most living things need food, water, light, temperatures within certain limits, and air. Living things have a variety of characteristics that are displayed to different degrees: they respire, move, respond to stimuli, reproduce and grow, and are dependent on their environment.
  • Plants grow toward the sunlight to be able to generate energy by photosynthesis.
  • Most living things need food, water, light, temperatures within certain limits, and air.
  • Reproduction means to reproduce. It is a biological process by which an organism reproduces an offspring who is biologically similar to the organism.


Answer the following questions in brief.

Q11: What are living things? Give examples.
Ans: Living things are born, grow, reproduce, grow old, and die. People, plants and animals are all living things. Living things need air, water, food and shelter to survive. Non-living things are not born.


Q12: Name four living things which use lungs for breathing.
Ans: Dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, monkeys, rats and a host of other animals have a similar lung structure to humans. Thus they use lungs to breathe.


Q13: Why do animals move from place to place? Why is there no need for plants to move around?
Ans: Animals move from one place to another for food and water , for shelter and protects from enemies. Whereas plants do not usually move from place to place is because they are rooted into the ground by their roots; roots also provide support so the plants don't fall over.

2. Can you give examples of living and non-living things?
Ans. Yes! Examples of living things include animals like dogs and cats, plants like trees and flowers, and humans. Non-living things include objects like a chair, a book, or a stone.
3. How do living things obtain energy?
Ans.Living things obtain energy in different ways. Plants make their own food through photosynthesis using sunlight, while animals eat plants or other animals to get their energy.
4. Why is it important to learn about living and non-living things?
Ans.Understanding the difference between living and non-living things helps us appreciate the environment and the role each plays in our ecosystem. It also aids in learning about life sciences and the natural world.
5. How do non-living things affect living things?
Ans.Non-living things can greatly affect living things. For example, water (a non-living thing) is essential for plants and animals to survive. Similarly, climate and soil (non-living) can impact how plants grow.
