PW Class 6 Science Chapter 10: Living Creatures: Exploring Their Characteristics Important Questions

Living things grow, respond to changes around them, reproduce, and pass through different stages during their lives. Chapter 10, Living Creatures: Exploring Their Characteristics, introduces these characteristics through familiar examples such as germinating seeds, frogs, mosquitoes, silk moths, and plants responding to stimuli.

PW Class 6 Science Chapter 10 Important Questions give students different types of questions to practise these concepts. The questions below are selected from the PW practice material and include short-answer, diagram-based, experiment-based, and descriptive questions carrying different marks.

5. Statement 1: During germination of seeds, roots generally grow downwards, while shoots grow upwards.

Statement 2: A plant’s life cycle starts with seed germination, followed by several stages of its growth and development.

(A) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
(B) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are false.
(C) Statement 1 is true, but Statement 2 is false.
(D) Statement 1 is false, but Statement 2 is true.

Answer: (A) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.

The first page of the PW material contains these five objective questions, including diagram-based questions on mosquito and frog development.

Section B: 2 Marks Each

6. Name the authorities that has set up several centres for silk production?

7. (i) Define stimulus?

(ii) How plants respond to stimuli? Give an example.

8. (i) What is a cocoon?

(ii) Name the stages through which silk moth passes?

Section C: 3 Marks Each

9. A tadpole has a tail, but as it develops into a frog, it disappears. In the tadpole stage, what is the benefit of having a tail?

10. (i) Name a plant which is featured with saucer-shaped leaves.

(ii) How this plant feeds?

11. Discuss a few points about crescograph?

Section D: 4 Marks

12. The experiment that is depicted in the image was set up by Tara and Vijay. What do you suppose they’re trying to learn? How will they be able to tell if they’re right?

The diagram on page 2 shows seeds placed in different orientations, making this an experiment-based question on how the orientation of a seed affects the direction in which its root and shoot grow.

13. Describe the life cycle of a mosquito with the help of a suitable diagram?

Section E: 5 Marks

14. Try to list the ways in which the life cycles of plants and animals are similar and different.
