Ans:

Q5: Answer the following questions in 2-3 sentences each.
(i) What causes food to spoil?
Ans: Food spoils because tiny living things called microbes grow on it. These microbes can make food smell bad and change its colour. Some microbes are helpful, but others can make food bad if there is moisture, air, and the right temperature.

(ii) How can we stop food from spoiling?
Ans: We can stop food from spoiling by keeping it dry, using oil, or putting it in the fridge. Drying removes water, oil keeps air out, and cold temperatures slow down the microbes that spoil food.

(iii) Why is it important to chew our food well?
Ans: Chewing food well is important because it helps break the food into smaller pieces. This makes it easier for our stomachs to digest the food and helps mix it with saliva, which starts the digestion process.

(iv) What should we do to keep our teeth healthy?
Ans: To keep our teeth healthy, we should brush them regularly, rinse our mouths after eating, and eat fewer sweets. Visiting the dentist when we have tooth problems is also very important.

(v) What are some foods that help with digestion?
Ans: Foods like curd and buttermilk help with digestion because they contain good microbes. These microbes help break down the food in our stomach and keep our tummy happy.Curd and Buttermilk

Q6: Answer the following questions in 4-6 sentences each. Use examples from the chapter to support your answers.
(i) Explain how microbes affect our food. Describe both harmful and helpful effects.
Ans: Microbes are tiny living things found everywhere – in soil, water, air, and inside our bodies

  • Harmful effects: They spoil food by creating mould, a bad smell, and an unsafe taste (like Disha’s uttapam)
  • Helpful effects: They help make curd from milk and aid stomach digestion
  • Good microbes make the idli batter rise and become soft and fluffy
  • While some microbes spoil food, others help us make and digest food properly

(ii) Describe four methods of food preservation and how they work.
Ans: Methods of food preservation:

  • Drying: Removes moisture so microbes cannot grow (sun-dried chillies last all year)
  • Oiling: Oil covers food to stop air from reaching it (pickles with mustard oil)
  • Refrigeration: Cold temperatures slow down microbe growth (milk, vegetables stay fresh)
  • Adding preservatives: Salt, sugar, and spices stop microbes from growing
  • All methods work by removing water, air, or controlling the temperature that microbes need

(iii) Why is proper chewing important? Explain the role of different teeth and saliva.
Ans: Proper chewing breaks food into smaller pieces for easier digestion
Different teeth have different jobs:

  • Incisors cut food
  • Canines tear food
  • Premolars crush food
  • Molars grind food into mush
  • Chewing releases saliva, which helps start digestion in the mouth
  • Poor chewing can cause choking and make digestion difficult

(iv) What would happen without food preservation methods? Discuss the problems.
Ans: All food would spoil quickly after harvesting or cooking. People would face food shortages during the off-season

Major problems would include:

  • No food storage for later use
  • Difficulty transporting food over long distances
  • Hunger during winter or dry seasons
  • Food preservation allows us to store food safely and have a variety throughout the year
  • It prevents food wastage and ensures people stay healthy and well-fed.

(i) Describe the three main stages of a river’s journey, using the Godavari River as an example.
Ans: The Godavari River goes through three main stages in its journey. In the upper stage (young stage), it starts narrow and fast in the Brahmagiri Hills of the Western Ghats
It cuts through mountains to form V-shaped valleys. In the middle stage, it slows down, becomes wider, and creates bends called meanders as it flows through plains. 
In the lower stage, it flattens out, widens a lot, and splits into streams to form a delta before meeting the sea at the Coringa Mangrove Forest.

Ans: The Godavari River faces challenges like pollution from trash, chemicals, and factories, which harm the fish, plants, and animals living in it.
It can also flood during heavy rains, causing damage to nearby areas. 
In summer, the river might run dry, making it hard for people and wildlife to get water. 
These issues change the river’s natural flow and make it less healthy.

(iv) What is a delta? Describe where the Godavari River forms its delta and why it’s important.
Ans: A delta is the area where a river splits into many smaller streams before emptying into the sea, often forming a fan-like shape with fertile land. 
The Godavari River forms its delta at the Coringa Mangrove Forest in Andhra Pradesh, where it meets the Bay of Bengal. 
This delta is important because it creates rich soil for farming, supports mangrove forests that protect against storms, and provides a habitat for birds, fish, and other wildlife.

Q5: Answer the following questions in 2-3 sentences each.
(i) Where does freshwater come from?
Ans: Freshwater comes from rivers, lakes, groundwater, and rain. It is a small part of all the water on Earth, which is mostly salty ocean water.

(ii) What are the three forms of water?
Ans: Water exists in three forms: liquid (like rain), solid (like ice), and gas (like steam). These forms change depending on temperature.

(iii) What is the water cycle?
Ans: The water cycle is how water moves around. It evaporates from oceans, forms clouds, and falls back to Earth as rain or snow. This keeps water moving.Movement of Water in atmosphere

(iv) How do we get groundwater?
Ans: We get groundwater by digging wells or using pumps. It is the water that soaks into the ground after it rains.

(v) Why are rivers important?
Ans: Rivers are important because they provide water for drinking, farming, and help plants and animals live. They flow into seas and have smaller rivers, known as tributaries.

Q6: Answer the following questions in 4-6 sentences each. Use examples from the chapter to support your answers.
(i) Describe the water cycle in detail, including how water changes forms and moves through nature. Explain why it is important for life on Earth.
Ans:  Heat causes water from different sources, like oceans and rivers, to become water vapour. 
Water vapour forms the clouds, which come down as rain, snow and hail. This water goes back into rivers, lakes and oceans. 
This constant circular movement of water in nature is called the water cycle. 
Water keeps moving through the water cycle, changing its form as it travels through the air, land, and sky. 
This reminds us how essential freshwater is for supporting life on Earth.Water Cycle

(ii) Explain the difference between freshwater and saltwater sources. Discuss why freshwater is essential for humans, plants, and animals, and what challenges we face in accessing it.
Ans: Although most of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, the majority of it is salty, leaving a smaller amount of freshwater. Ocean water is salty and not fit for drinking. 
All living beings—people, animals, birds, and plants—depend on freshwater to survive. 
It is essential for drinking, growing crops, and carrying out daily activities. 
Many plants and animals also live in freshwater. Without water, life would not be possible.

(iii) How do rivers form and flow across the land? Use the mustard seed activity and examples from Indian rivers to describe how they shape the landscape and support ecosystems.
Ans: A river often begins its journey from up in the mountains and flows down across the land. 
Water flows, stops or curves according to the shape of the land formations in its path. 
The flow of water can also change the shape of the land. In the mustard seed activity, seeds roll down slopes and gather, like water gathers in lakes, rivers and so on. 
Some rivers flow into the Bay of Bengal, and some into the Arabian Sea. 
Rivers, ponds, lakes, etc., are the natural sources of freshwater.

(iv) Why is groundwater recharge important, and what happens if it doesn’t occur properly? Suggest ways to conserve water and protect groundwater in cities and villages.
Ans:  When it rains, some water is soaked up by the soil. This water sinks through the layers of soil and rocks. 
The water that gets stored deep underground is called groundwater. In cities with many cemented surfaces, rainwater cannot go into the ground easily, which stops groundwater from getting recharged. 
Soak pits, ponds, human-made lakes, and planting more trees help rainwater return underground. 
Water is a limited and shared resource which must be used wisely.
