Food, water, shelter; 2. Duck; 3. Claws; 4, Skin; 5. African Antelopes B. 1. TRUE; [Link]; 3. TRUE; 4. FALSE; 5. TRUE C. 1. African antelope (answer may vary) 2. Cow (answer may vary) 3. Polar bear (answer may vary) Pigeon (answer may vary) 5. Ant (answer may vary) D. 1. Sheep 2. Tiger 3. Lion m ‘Animals which can live both on land and in water are called amphibians. Caribou and Arctic tem 3. a, Pigeons and Human beings b, Fish and Tadpoles 4. Sparrows have streamlined body, forelimbs developed into wings and hollow bones that make their body light and help them in flying whereas ostriches have heavy bodies and poor developed wings so they cannot fly. 5. Yes, the shape of bird's beak affects the kind of food it eats. For example, carnivore birds such as eagle and vulture have hooked beaks which help them to tear flesh 6. Breathing mechanism of insects consists of spiracles. Spiracles lead into a network of tubes present all through the body. This tube is called trachea. 7. Animals which can fly are called aerial animals. 8. The large scale movement of animals in search of favorable condition is called migration. For example: The arctic tem travels from Arctic to Antarctic in winter. It again goes to Arctic, in summers. Monarch butterflies fly from Canada to Mexico during the winter season.F. 1. Most of the animals living on the land have four limbs. The front limbs are called forelimbs and the back limbs are called hindlimbs. 2, Camouflage is a defense mechanism in which animals are coloured and shaped in a way that they cannot be seen in their natural surroundings. It increases an organism's chance of survival by hiding it from predators. 3. Feathers insulate birds from water and cold temperature. Feathers present in wings and tails also play important role in controlling the flight, 4, Hemoglobin is a protein present in the blood which combines with oxygen and carries it from lungs to all parts of the body. 5. Features of birds which help them to fly + Astreamlined body Forelimbs modified into wings + Hollow bones that make the body light + Strong chest muscles that provide energy for flying A tail to change direction while flying Claws that help them to walk on the ground and sit on the tree branches 6. Snakes do not have legs. They move with the help of scales present underside of their bodies. They have strong muscles and flexible backbone which help them to grip the ground and move. Breathing mechanism of insects consists of small holes called spiracles which are present on their body. Spiracles are connected to a network of tubes present all through the body, These tubes are called trachea. Air enters the spiracles and passes through the trachea. Oxygen from the air is absorbed by the tissues of the body. Carbon dioxide is removed through the spiracles. 8 When whales and dolphins breathe in oxygen from the air that enters their body through a blowhole. When they breathe out, carbon dioxide leaves the body along with water, 2, Human beings cannot breathe in water because their lungs cannot get oxygen from the air dissolved in water. Whales and dolphins also have lungs that can take in oxygen only from air. So, they cannot breathe under water. However, they come to the surface of water to breathe. They have blowhole on the head for breathing
