Dendrite a b End point of
6. Define the following: Neuron
(a) Reflex action (b) Synapse
7. Name the system which facilitates communication between central nervous system and the other parts of the
body. Mention two types of nerves it consists of along with their organs of origin.
8. Why is chemical communication better than electrical impulses as a means of communication cells in a multi-
cellular organism?
9. Trace the sequence of events which occur when a bright light is focused on your eyes.
10. (a) Name the part of brain which controls
(i) voluntary action (ii) involuntary action
(b) What is the significance of the peripheral nervous system? Name the components of this nervous system and
distinguish between the origin of the two.
11. State the function of receptors in our body. Think of any three situations where receptors in the body do not
work properly. Mention the problems which are likely to arise.
12. Nervous and hormonal systems together perform the function of control and coordination in human beings.
Justify this statement with the help of an example.
13. (a) Plants do not have any nervous system but yet, if we touch a sensitive plant, some observable changes take
place in its leaves. Explain how could this plant respond to the external stimuli and how it is communicated.
(b) Name the hormone that needs to be administered to
(i) increase the height of a dwarf plant.
(ii) cause rapid cell division in fruits and seeds.
14. Define reflex action. State its significance.

21. In the absence of muscle cells, how do plant cells show movement?
22. Explain how the movement of leaves of a sensitive plant is different from movement of shoots towards light.
23. Describe an activity to illustrate the phenomenon of phototropism and explain why does this occur.
24. Name the gland and the hormone secreted by the gland, which are associated with the following problems:
(i) a girl has grown extremely tall. (ii) a woman has a swollen neck
25. A squirrel is in a scary situation. Its body has to prepare for either fighting or running away. State the immediate
changes that take place in its body so that the squirrel is able to either fight or run?
26. (a) Name the diseases by which a person is likely to suffer due to the deficiency of: (i) Iodine (ii) Insulin
(b) How the timing of secretion and amount of hormone secretion are regulated in human system Explain with
example.
27. Mention three characteristic features of hormonal secretions in human beings.
28. Compare and contrast nervous and hormonal mechanisms for control and coordination in the animals.
29. Name the hormones secreted by the following endocrine glands and specify one function of each:
(a) Thyroid (b) Pituitary (c) Pancreas
30. What is feedback mechanism of hormonic regulation? Take the example of insulin to explain this phenomenon.
31. In plants the role of cytokinin is:
(a) Promote cell division
(b) Wilting of leaves.
(c) Promote the opening of stomatal pore
(d) Help in the growth of stem

36. Name the part of brain which is responsible for the following actions
(i) Maintaining posture and balance
(ii) Beating of heart
(iii) Thinking

37. Where are auxins synthesized in a plant? Which organ of the plant shows: (i) Positive phototropism (ii) Negative
geotropism (iii) Positive hydrotropism
38. Name the hormone secreted in scary situations by animals. Write any three responses which enable the animal
body to deal with it.
39. Name a plant hormone responsible for bending of a shoot of a plant when it is exposed to unidirectional light.
