NUTRITION IN ANIMALS (Part - 1), Class 7

 NUTRITION IN ANIMALS

Q.1. What is Nutrition?

Ans. Nutrition is the mode of taking food by an organism and its utilization by the body

 Q.2. Write a short note on following:

Ans.

a) Scraping: to remove something from a surface by moving a sharp edge across it firmly.

b) Chewing: to crush food into smaller, softer pieces with the teeth so that it can be swallowed.

c) Siphoning: to remove a liquid from a container, often into another container, through a tube.

d) Capturing: to take control of something

e) Swallowing: the act of passing food from the mouth, by way of the pharynx (or throat) and esophagus, to the stomach.

f) Sponging: secreting saliva over the food and dissolved food is drawn up into the mouth in solution form.

g) Sucking: Piercing the food item and then sucking the internal fluid of the food.

Q.3. Explore what do the following animals eat and what mode of feeding they use. Fill the table with your findings.

Ans.

FRICTION Q.1. What is force? Write few of its characteristics. Ans.1.  A push or a pull on an object is called a force.                      Force is a vector quantity (having magnitude  as well as direction).           S.I. unit of Force is N (Newton).           Force can Change the State of Motion.                   Force can Change the Shape of an Object. s          Q.2. What is friction ?      Ans.2.  The force which opposes the motion of an object on the surface of another object is called force of friction. Force of friction is a contact force. The force of friction always opposes the applied force (direction of motion).

Friction (part-2)

FRICTION Q.3.  Suppose your writing desk is tilted a little. A book kept on it starts sliding down. Show the direction of frictional force acting on it. Ans.3.                                 Q.4. What is the cause of friction? Ans.4.  Friction occurs due to the interlocking of irregularities between two surfaces in motion to each other. Every object has some sort of irregularities in its surface, so when two surfaces come in contact with each other and one object moves over the another, so their irregularities get interlocked and moving object starts losing its energy in breaking the interlocking and finally it comes to rest.                                             Q.5. What are the factors on which friction depends? Ans.5.  There are two factors affecting friction: 1.      Nature of the surfaces: Friction increases with roughness and decreases with smoothness of the surfaces. On rough surfaces, there are a larger number of irregularities than the s

PRACTICE WORKSHEET (CLASS - VIII) TOPIC – FORCE AND PRESSURE 1. When a force acts on a moving object, it can make the object a) move faster b) slow down c) stop d) all of these 2. Name the type of forces involved in the following :  a) A horse pulling a cart _________________________  b) A moving boat coming to rest when rowing is stopped ___________________ c) A coin falling to the ground on slipping from hand ______________________  d) A sticker attached to steel almirah without glue _________________________ 3. Two students fought over a lunch box, both started pulling it from opposite ends but the box didn't move from its place. What will you infer about the magnitude and direction of the forces? 4. An archer shoots an arrow in the air horizontally. However, after moving some distance, the arrow falls to the ground. Name the initial force that sets the arrow in motion. Explain why the arrow ultimately falls down. Assertion / Reason :  For question numbers 5, two sta
