12 (i) Water can dissolve a large number of many different kinds of substances. 2
That is why it is considered as a universal solvent.

it is easy to hold the utensils even when the contents are hot.

16 Heterotroph, as she is not a producer. She is only using the materials or food 2
produced by plants that are producers or autotrophs, wo prepare their own
food by the process of photosynthesis,
17 (i) Retting: The removal of gummy skin by keeping the jute plants under
water and separation of jute fibres.
2
(ii) Weaving: The process of arranging two sets of yarn together(at right
angles to each other) to make a fabric is called weaving.

18 The sequence of living organisms in which one organism consumes or eats 2

another to transfer the food energy is called a food chain.

19 Condensation: The process by which the vapour of any liquid is converted 2

into liquid by cooling is called condensation.

Section-C

20 (i) The materials which allow light to pas through them are called transparent. 3
E.g. glass, acrylic sheet, water and air.

(ii) The materials which do not allow light to pass through them are called
opaque. E.g. wood, stone, cardboard, metals etc.

(iii) Certain materials allow only a part of the light to pass through them.
Such materials are called translucent.

21 The framework of bones and cartilage which supports the body of an animal 3
or human is called its skeletal system.
Functions(any 2):
1.forms framework of the body.
2. protects and keeps the delicate organs of the body in their proper position
3. provides support and gives shape
4. with the help of muscles, it helps in the movement of various parts of our
body.

22
Reversible change
1. It is a temporary change.
2. When conditions are reversed, the
substance/object gets back to its
original state.
3. E.g. Stretching of a rubber band,
Melting and Freezing, Dissolution of
sugar in water, Glowing of an
electric bulb.
3
Irreversible change
1. It is a permanent change.
2. Substance or object cannot be
reversed back to its original
form/state even when the
conditions are reversed.
3. E.g. Burning of coal, Conversion
of milk into curd and cheese,
