Diversity in the Living World
Every "Diversity in the Living World" question below started as a real disagreement — two people reasoning from what they've actually seen, one of them missing a piece. See if you can catch which before you check.
Looking at the banana plant in the yard, Aarav says it is a tree — it is tall and it has a "trunk". His sister says it is actually not a tree. Who is right?
Nisha is sorting plants: "small = herb, medium = shrub, big = tree" — going only by height. Her friend says sorting by height alone often comes out wrong. Who is right?
Rohan says a cactus cannot make its own food, because it has no leaves. His sister says this is wrong. Who is right?
Seema's plant near the window is wilting. Seema says it is getting too much sun. Grandmother says it is getting too little water. Knowing only this much, can we be sure who is right?
Two plants look alike — both have thin, green, grass-like leaves and both grow in clumps. Tanya says they must be the same kind of plant. Her brother says looks alone do not settle it. Who is right?
