iii. Water: Water is also used to make food in plants. Plants absorb water from the soil.
iv. Chlorophyll: This green pigment in plants traps sunlight energy and use it to make food.
v. Temperature: The higher the temperature, the faster the process of photosynthesis. Normally plants grow well at 25-35°C.
Q3. Prove that the structure of a leaf facilitates the process of photosynthesis.

iii. A large number of stomata facilitates the exchange of gases and water vapour.
iv. Xylem and phloem tissues in veins and midrib help move water and prepared food.
Q4. How does respiration occur in plants?Ans. Respiration in Plants Respiration is the energy producing process in
plants. Plants use oxygen and glucose to produce energy. Carbon dioxide and water are also produced in this process.
Glucose+Oxygen Carbon dioxide+Water +Energy
During the day, plants use oxygen produced in the process of photosynthesis. At night, they absorb oxygen from the air to use in respiration. Carbon dioxide and water are used within the plant body in food making process.

Q3. Explain the following with examples: (1) Parasitism (2) Mutualism (3) Types of consumersAns. (1) Parasitism: Parasitism is the master-slave
relationship between two kinds of organisms. The parasite takes food and shelter from the host (slave). It also harms the host. For example, lice in our head are parasites. They suck our blood and harm us.
(2) Mutualism: It is a friendly relationship between two kinds of organisms. Both parties get benefit.For example, termites eat wood but cannot digest it. A protozoan lives in termite’s intestine. It helps the termite to digest wood.
(3) Types of consumers: Consumers are of three types.i. Herbivores: These animals eat only plants. For
example, cow, goat, deer, etc. are herbivores.ii. Carnivores: These animals only eat meat of
other animals. For example, lion, dog, snake, etc. are the carnivores.

Detailed-Answer QuestionsQ1. Describe the transmission, absorption and
reflectionoflight.Ans. Transmission of Light: When light falls on
transparent objects, it is transmitted or passed to the other side. It is called transmission of light.
Absorption of Light: When white light shines on rough or opaque objects, most part of the light is absorbed and changed into heat to warm the surface.
ReflectionofLight:When light falls on a smooth, shiny surface, it bounces off in one particular direction. This bouncing off of light is called reflectionoflight.
Q2. Provethelawsofreflectionthroughanactivity.Ans. Fix a white paper on a drawing board using the
drawing pins. Place a mirror stripAB (fixed in a stand) on the
paper. Fix two common pins Q and R before the mirror in
a slant line. See the imagesof thesepins in themirror andfix
two more common pins S and T in such a way that images of Q and R and pins S and T lie on the same straight line.

You may use modeling clay to stand the mirror strips. Observe the images of the design in one of the mirrors. The number of images seen is 3.
Now change the angle between the two mirrors, for example 60o. Again observe the images in one of the mirrors. The number of images now seen is 5.
Q5. Describe in detail the image formation in curved mirrors.
Ans. Image Formation in Curved Mirrors A concave mirror can form real as well as virtual
image, but a convex mirror only forms a virtual image. Let us study images of objects at different distances from the curved mirrors.
Image with a convex mirror A convex mirror always produces a virtual, upright
and smaller image of the object at any distance in front of it. The image is located behind the mirror.

Images With a Concave Mirror A concave mirror has an original principal focus 'F'.
That is why it can form real images on a screen. (a)ObjectatInfinity If the object is

(b) Object Beyond the Center of Curvature If the object is
located beyond the center of curvature 'C', its image forms between 'F' and 'C' in front of the mirror. The image is real, inverted and small in size .

(d) Object Between Center of Curvature and Focusus
If the object is placed between 'C' and 'F’, the image forms beyond the center of curvature 'C' in front of the mirror. The image is real, inverted and bigger in size.
(e) Object at Principal Focus If the object is located
at the principal focus ‘F’ of the concave mirror, the rays after reflection from themirror become almost parallel. The image will be formed at infinity.Thisimagecannotbeobtainedonscreen.

Unit 12Sound Around Us
Section Review I
Q1. What is sound?Ans. Sound is a form of energy. We hear it with our ears.Q2. How are all sounds alike?Ans. All sounds are alike because they produce as a result
of vibration.Q3. How can one produce louder sounds?Ans. When one uses more force to produce vibration, it
cause a loud sound to be produced.Q4. On the surface of the moon, astronauts cannot
converse like on the earth. Why?Ans. Sound needs a medium (solid, liquid or gas) to
travel. On the surface of the moon, There is no air or water. That is why, astronauts cannot converse as they can on the earth.
Section Review II
Q1. What is the speed of sound while passing through water at room temperature?
Ans. The speed of sound in water is 1500 metres per second.
Q2. How does sound move through solids more easily than it moves through air?
Ans. Solid materials have closely packed molecules which helps sound to move faster through them. The particles in air are not packed. So sound travels
Skylark Science 6 Key Book

easily through solids than air.Q3. What happens when sound waves reach the
eardrum?Ans. When sound reaches our eardrum, it causes
vibration. This vibration is sent to the next parts of the ear.
Q4. How can sounds be harmful?Ans. Loud sound for longer periods can cause headache,
nausea and sleeplessness . It can also damage your hearing permanently.

Detailed-Answer QuestionsQ1. Prove that sound is a form of energy.Ans. Sound as a form of Energy We know that energy is the ability to do work. Energy
can move things. Sound can also move things. When we hit a drum, its surface vibrates. These vibrations move through air and reach our eardrums. Here they
Skylark Science 6 Key Book
78
cause our eardrums to vibrate and we hear sound. As sound vibrates things, so it is a form of energy.
Q2. How does sound travel?Ans. Sound Travels Sound needs a medium to travel from one place
to the other. The medium may be gas (air), liquid (water) or solid (metal).
When some object produces sound, the particles of the medium bump into each other and carry vibrations of sound to other place. Sound sannot travel through a vacuum due to the absence of any particles.
Q3. How do you produce sound?Ans. Making Sound We know that sound is produced by the vibrations.
In our throat, vocal cords are present. When we talk, air comes from our lungs and pushes between our vocal cords. This makes our vocal cords to vibrate. The vibrating movement of our vocal cords makes sound. We can experience it while placing our fingersonthethroatofhuman.

They orbit the sun in eliptical paths. A comet is a heavenly body made of ice and dust particles. Comets are only seen when they come close to the sun.
Parts of a Comet A comet has three parts, a head, coma and a tail.
The head is made of ice, particles of rock and gases. A large, fuzzy, circular cloud around the head of a comet is called coma.
During orbiting near the sun, a long tail of gases and dust particles is formed behind the comet. This tail can be millions of kilometres long.
