Animal Parts and Their Functions

Animal Parts and Their Functions

• Land animals use legs to move, while some also have arms for additional movement and support.
• Examples of leg and arm usage:
  • Monkeys use legs and arms to climb trees.
  • Cheetahs use legs to walk and run.
  • Frogs use legs to hop.
  • Ducks use legs to move in water.

Fins and Tail Fins

• Fish have fins and tail fins that enable them to swim.
• Examples of fin usage:
  • Sharks use fins and tail fins to swim.

Importance of Conservation

• Some people consume shark fins, which are cut from living sharks.
• This practice is harmful, as sharks cannot swim without their fins and will eventually die.
• It is essential to protect sharks by avoiding the consumption of shark fins.

Beaks of Birds

• Birds have beaks of different sizes and shapes to obtain different types of food.
• Birds use their beaks for obtaining food, but the shape and function vary depending on the type of food.

Tongues of Chameleon and Frog

• Both chameleon and frog have long tongues.
• Their tongues are used to obtain food, not to chew food.

Animal Classification

• The classification table groups animals based on their characteristics, such as habitat and diet.
• Group A consists of terrestrial animals (Frog, Kangaroo).
• Group B consists of aquatic animals (Dolphin, Seal).
• Group C consists of flying animals (Dove, Pigeon).
• A bat should be placed in Group C, as it is a flying animal.

Beaks of Birds P, Q, and R

• Bird P has a short, cone-shaped beak, which indicates it eats other animals.
• Bird Q has a long, pointed beak, which indicates it eats seeds.
• Bird R has a broad, flat beak, which indicates it eats both plants and animals.
