Student Feedback: Students found the diagram questions easier after writing the rule first: roots grow downward and shoots grow upward.
Class 6 Science Chapter 10 Solutions Overview
Chapter 10 asks a simple question: how do we know that something is living? The answers use a group of signs. Living beings grow, respire, need nutrition, respond, reproduce, excrete and die. Movement alone is not enough because cars move, but they are not living.
The exercise has 9 questions. Several answers ask students to explain an idea in their own words. A good answer names the life process first, then connects it with the example from the question.
| Topic | What to remember | Answer cue |
|---|---|---|
| Living features | Living beings show many life processes together | avoid judging by movement alone |
| Germination | Seeds need water, air and suitable temperature | dry storage stops sprouting |
| Plant growth | Roots grow downward and shoots grow upward | use Fig. 10.9 and Fig. 10.10 |
| Animal life cycles | Mosquito and frog have different young stages | compare egg, young stage and adult |
| Fair experiment | Change one factor and keep the rest same | temperature is the changed factor in Q9 |

Living and Non-living Clues in Chapter 10
The chapter shows why one sign is not enough. A car moves, but it does not grow or reproduce. A wooden log came from a tree, but it no longer carries out life processes. A thing is living only when it shows the main life processes as a group.
- A plant is living even though it does not move from place to place.
- A crystal may become bigger, but it does not respire.
- A wooden log is non-living now because it does not carry out life processes.
- A bean plant is living because it grows, respires and reproduces.
Life Cycle Stages in Living Creatures
Life cycles explain how living beings continue their kind. A plant may begin from a seed, grow into a seedling and form new seeds. A mosquito passes through egg, larva, pupa and adult stages. A frog passes through egg, tadpole, froglet and adult stages.
The key difference: plants and animals both grow and reproduce, but their stages look different. The tadpole has a tail for swimming. The adult frog has legs for jumping and swimming.

Class 6 Science Chapter 10 NCERT Solutions FAQs
Ques. What is covered in Class 6 Science Chapter 10 NCERT Solutions?
Ans. The solutions cover living and non-living things, seed germination, roots, shoots, mosquito and frog life cycles, and all 9 exercise questions.
Ques. Are these answers based on the 2026-27 NCERT book?
Ans. Yes. The PDF follows the 2026-27 NCERT Class 6 Science Curiosity Chapter 10 Living Creatures: Exploring their Characteristics.
Ques. Why is movement alone not enough to identify a living thing?
Ans. A car can move, but it does not grow, respire, reproduce or respond like a living being. Several life processes must be checked together.
Ques. What should students draw for the sideways plant question?
Ans. Students should draw the root bending downward and the shoot bending upward. The reason is that roots and shoots grow in different directions.
