  1. What is the process by which plants make their own food using sunlight?

    Answer: Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. It occurs in the chloroplasts, which contain the green pigment chlorophyll.

  2. Which organ pumps blood around the human body?

    Answer: Heart

    The heart is a muscular organ that acts as a pump, pushing blood through the network of arteries and veins to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all cells in the body.

  3. What are the three states of matter?

    Answer: Solid, liquid, gas

    The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume; liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container; gases have no fixed shape or volume.

  4. What gas do plants absorb from the air during photosynthesis?

    Answer: Carbon dioxide

    During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air through tiny holes in their leaves called stomata. They combine it with water and light energy to make glucose.

  5. What is the function of the roots of a plant?

    Answer: To absorb water and nutrients from the soil

    Roots anchor the plant in the soil and absorb water and dissolved minerals (nutrients) from the soil. These are transported up through the stem to the leaves where photosynthesis occurs.

  6. Which of the following is a carnivore?

    Answer: Fox

    A carnivore is an animal that eats only meat (other animals). Foxes eat small animals such as rabbits, mice, and birds. Rabbits and cows are herbivores; deer are also herbivores.
