Root growth
Seed dispersal
Flowering time
Question 8: If Earth were closer to the Sun, which likely consequence would occur?
Earth's rotation would stop
Average global temperatures would rise
Atmospheric oxygen would vanish
The Moon would disappear
Question 9: Which planet is known as the Red Planet because of iron-rich soil?

Nitrogen
Question 11: Which plant part mainly absorbs water and minerals from soil?
Roots
Flowers
Stem
Leaves
Question 12: Why does the sky appear blue during the day?
Clouds reflect blue light
Ozone makes the sky blue
The Sun emits only blue light
Air scatters blue light more than red
Question 13: Which layer of Earth is liquid and creates Earth's magnetic field by moving?
Inner core
Outer core
Mantle
Crust
Question 14: How does increasing light intensity usually affect photosynthesis rate (to a point)?
Rate increases until another factor limits it
Rate remains unchanged
Rate decreases steadily
Plants stop producing oxygen
Question 15: Which scenario best explains a total solar eclipse being visible only in a narrow path on Earth?
Moon's shadow cone hits a small area on Earth
Only people at the poles see total eclipses
Earth's rotation creates many small shadows
Sunlight is blocked by clouds everywhere
Question 16: What role do chloroplasts play in plant cells?
They pump water through the plant
They control cell division
They store genetic information
They carry out photosynthesis
Question 17: Which planet has the strongest gravity among these choices?
Earth
Mars
Venus
Jupiter
Question 18: How do root nodules on some plants help the ecosystem?
They increase leaf size
They store sunlight for winter
They fix nitrogen into usable forms
They repel insects
Question 19: Which statement explains why gas pressure drops at higher altitudes?
Air heats up making it lighter
Oxygen turns into another gas
Gravity stops working
There are fewer air molecules above to press down
Question 20: What happens to most of the Sun's light energy that hits a leaf?
It disappears instantly
Some is used for photosynthesis, rest is reflected or lost as heat
All of it is stored as sugar
It turns directly into oxygen
Question 21: Which tool would best help observe features on the surface of distant planets?
Space telescope
Thermometer
Metal detector
Seismometer
Question 22: Which factor is most important for seeds to sprout into seedlings?

Moon phase
Question 23: Why are greenhouse gases important despite causing warming concerns?
They trap heat that keeps Earth warm enough for life
They remove oxygen from air
They create visible clouds at night
They turn water into ice
Question 24: If a plant is kept in the dark, what will likely happen to its leaves?
Leaves grow thicker and darker
Leaves turn into roots
Leaves may become pale and growth slows
Leaves produce more oxygen
Question 25: Which layer of the atmosphere do we live in where weather happens?
Troposphere
Mesosphere
Exosphere
Stratosphere
