Question

Q. 1 (A) Read the following passage and answer the questions 5 Finding food in winter is difficult for most animals when various sources of food like insects or plants are not available in plenty. It is during this time, most animals cope with the lack of food by hibernating. Hibernation is that deep sleep taken by certain animals that helps them not to waste energy so that they can survive the winter without much food. An animal’s body temperature falls during hibernation. The heartbeat and breathing slows down so it saves energy. Hibernating animals prepare for winter by eating more food than they need. They store the food as body fat. This fat is used as energy when they sleep. The fat is formed in patches near the animal’s brain, heart and lungs. These patches send a quick boost of energy to warm these organs when the animal’s wake up. Fish, bear, lizard, frogs and turtles are a few examples of hibernating animals. They have no means to stay warm in the winter season. They take shelter under logs, stones and piles of dry leaves. The animals move downwards to the bottom of lakes and ponds. Some even burrow into the mud to avoid the cold winter. Insects can hibernates as well. To keep warm, these insects find holes underground, inside trees or fallen logs. Some hibernating animals appear to be dead during this time. Certain animals might wake from their sleep and shiver in order to warm themselves when the temperature drops really low. Some hibernating animals might wake up for a little time to use their ‘toilet rooms’. They might eat a little food if they can find any.
