Olympiad Test Level 1: Living & Non-living Things- 2 Class 1 Science MCQs

The two major categories in which all the things can be categorized are living things and non-living things.

Through reproduction living beings can produce another living being of their own kind.

Plants are fixed at one place and cannot change their position.

Sunlight is more important for plants as it helps in the process of photosynthesis.

Cycle is a non-living thing and does not need air to live.

Explanation:

Non-living things are objects that lack the biological processes of life. Breathing is a biological process, so non-living things cannot breathe. Therefore, "All non-living things can not breathe" is the accurate statement. 

a) Non-Living breathe: 

This is incorrect because non-living things do not have the ability to breathe. 

b) Man-made, grow: 
While some man-made things can grow (like plants grown in a greenhouse), not all man-made things do. Also, growth is a characteristic of living things, so this option is inaccurate. 

c) Living, walk: 
While most living things can move, not all of them can walk. For example, plants and many microorganisms move in different ways. Walking is specifically a mode of locomotion for certain animals, not a defining characteristic of all living things. 

Plants are also living things but they cannot move from one place to the other.

All living things need air, water and food to live.

Bus is a non-living man-made things.

Soil gives plants the food and water they need to grow.
