Chapter 7 -  Conservation of Plants and Animals (Questions and Answers)

CBSE Class 8 - Science

Q1: Define ecology.

Answer: It is the science which deals with the relation between organism and its surrounding environment.


Q2: What is a biome?

Answer: A biome is a large area with similar flora, fauna, and microorganisms. Each biome can have many ecosystems in it. For examples the
tropical rainforests, tundra in the arctic regions, and the evergreen trees in the coniferous forests, each of these contain species that are adapted to the varying conditions of water, heat, and soil in the biome.

For example, polar bears thrive in the arctic by having thick skin while cactus plants preserve water in the hot desert with help of spiny leaves with waxy layer coating.

CBSE Class 8 - Science - Force, Pressure and Friction (Short Answer Type Questions)(#eduvictors)(#cbseClass8Science)

Force, Pressure and Friction 

(Short Answer Type Questions)

CBSE Class 8 - Science

Q1: Why do porters place on their heads a round piece of cloth?

Answer: To reduce pressure.
Round piece of cloth increases contact surface areas, thus reduce the pressure.


Q2: It is convenient to pull the luggage fitted with rollers, why? 

Answer: Because rollers reduce friction. Rolling friction is much less than sliding friction.


Q3: lf we apply a force on a body and the body is still in rest. Is there any frictional force acting on the body? If yes then how?

Answer: Yes. Static friction is acting on it in opposite direction to the applying force. Thus, resultant force is zero.


Q4:  Sliding friction is less than static friction, how? Explain by an example.

Science Quiz for CBSE Class 8 Students (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)

Science Quiz for CBSE Class 8 Students

Science plays a crucial role in setting the progressive path of our society. It is one way of knowing about the world. Science is a seamless web of knowledge. It is the search for truth and knowledge. Scientists suggest explanations of why things are as they are, and then they test those explanations, using experiments.

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) are by and large perceived as the most broadly material and helpful ways assess your knowledge. They could be utilized to quantify the most vital instructive results - information, comprehension, judgment and critical thinking.

The scope of science stretches far and wide. The best time to educate students in scientific approach and critical thinking is by making sure that the curriculum is created keeping this vision in mind. NCERT Books are specially designed keeping such objectives in mind.

Based on Class 8 Science NCERT book, follwoing are the MCQs available to help students learn their lessons and assess their knowledge.
