Question 6: The food chain begins with:
(a) plants
(b) carnivores
(c) herbivores
(d) omnivores

Correct Answer is Option A

Food chains begin with plants (known as primary producers), followed by the animals that consume plants (primary consumers or herbivores), the animals that eat herbivores (secondary consumers), and so on.

Fill in the blanks

Question 7:
plant-eating, leeches, tongue, bear

  • Leeches are blood-sucking animals.
  • Herbivorous animals are plant eating animals.
  • Cats lap milk with the help of their tongue.
  • Bear is an omnivorous animal.

EduRev Tips:

  • Leeches are worms that live in water or on land and feed by sucking blood from fish, frogs, lizards, birds or, if they get the chance, larger animals like humans. They suck blood because it is a very good food source for them.
  • Herbivores are animals whose primary food source is plant-based.
  • Cats like to do things their own way, when it comes to drinking. Researchers have discovered that felines have their own style of lapping water. The cat's tongue makes only the briefest contact with the liquid's surface, before quickly retracting to pull a thin column of milk into the mouth.
  • An Organism which feeds on both plants and animals is an omnivore. Examples of omnivores include bears, birds, dogs, raccoons, foxes, certain insects, and even humans.

Answer the following questions


Question 8: Why do animals need food?

All animals need food in order to live and grow. They obtain their food from plants or from other animals.

Question 9: What is chewing the cud? Give two examples of animals which chew the cud.

When cud-chewing animals eat their food, some of the food is stored in a special pouch within its stomach. It later regurgitates this stored food, or cud, and begins to chew it again.Cattle, deer, sheep, goats and antelope are some examples of animals that chew their cud.

Question 10: Explain the eating habits of omnivorous animals.

Some animals, like crows, bears, dogs, cockroaches and humans, eat both plants and flesh of other animals. Examples of omnivores include bears, birds, dogs.

Question 11: All animals depend on plants for their food. How?

Animals get their energy from food.They get their energy from the sun, which allows them to manufacture the substances they need for their development. Most animals depend directly or indirectly on plants. In this way, even carnivores that feed on herbivores depend on the plants that feed their prey.

Question 12: What is a food chain?

A food chain is the transfer of food energy from plants to an animal and then to another animal. Food chains begin with plants (known as primary producers), followed by the animals that consume plants (primary consumers or herbivores), the animals that eat herbivores (secondary consumers), and so on.

FAQs on Class 3 Science - Animals Feeding Habits - CBSE Worksheets Solutions

1. What are the different types of animal feeding habits?
Ans.Animal feeding habits can be categorized into three main types: herbivores (animals that eat plants), carnivores (animals that eat other animals), and omnivores (animals that eat both plants and animals). Each type has unique adaptations that help them find and consume their food.
2. How do herbivores find their food?
Ans.Herbivores typically graze on grass, leaves, fruits, and vegetables. They often have strong teeth and digestive systems that help them break down tough plant materials. Some herbivores may also migrate to find food, especially during different seasons.
3. Why do carnivores need to hunt for their food?
Ans.Carnivores rely on hunting because they eat other animals for their nutrients. Hunting requires skills such as speed, strength, and stealth. They have sharp teeth and claws that help them catch and eat their prey.
4. What do omnivores eat and how do they choose their food?
Ans.Omnivores eat both plant and animal sources. They may choose their food based on availability, taste, and nutritional needs. This flexibility allows them to adapt to different environments and food sources.
5. How do animals adapt their feeding habits to their environment?
Ans.Animals adapt their feeding habits by evolving specific traits that suit their environment. For example, some animals have developed long necks to reach high leaves, while others have sharp beaks to crack seeds. These adaptations help them find food more efficiently in their habitats.
