11.Electrical impulse gets converted into chemical signal at the nerve

terminal or synapse.

12.The nervous system has two main parts: The central nervous system is
made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made
up of nerves that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of
the body.

13.Neurons are the structural and functional units of the nervous system.

14. Auxin are synthesized at the tips of roots and shoot in the plant body.

17.A synapse is the small gap between the terminal end of one neuron's axon
and the dendrite of another neuron. It's the site where chemical signals are
transmitted from one neuron to another, allowing them to communicate and
coordinate their actions.

18.Tropic movement is the movement of a plant in response to

environmental stimuli.This movement is caused by root and shoots growth.

19.Cerebellum

20.Abscisic acid is a plant hormone that inhibits growth in plants. It is

synthesized in leaves. It promotes senescence i.e. wilting or fall of leaves.
Abscisic acid also inhibits seed germination and development.

21.“Photo” means light, and “tropism” means turning. Phototropism is the

phenomenon by which the plant bends in the direction of light. Light is
required by the plants to stimulate energy production by the process of
photosynthesis.

22.The main components of central nervous system are the brain and the
spinal cord

23.A synapse is a gap between two neurons. At the synapse, the electrical
signals are converted into chemicals that can easily cross the gap and pass
on to the next neuron where they again get converted into electrical signals

SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS:
26.

27.It is a neural pathway that helps in generating a reflex to all the actions
by our body. Stimulus →Sense organ (Receptor) →Sensory neuron→ Spinal
Cord (CNS) →Relay neuron → Motor Neuron → Effector→ Response

28.Diabetes is either caused due to the insufficient production of insulin by

the pancreas or it may occur if the cells of the body are not effectively
responding to the insulin produced.
It can be controlled by taking insulin.

29.Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland to produce thyroxin hormone.

This hormone regulates fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism in our
bodies. If the quantity of iodine in food is less than required, then the neck
will swell up due to the enlargement of the thyroid gland. This deficiency
disease is known as goiter. Therefore iodized salt is advised.

30.Sensory neurons are the neuron which carries the signal ( stimulus) from
the effector organs to the central nervous system. Motor neurons are the
neurons which carry the signal (response) from the central nervous system
to the effector organs.
The Function of sensory neuron is:

Sensory neurons are specialized neurons located in the sensory organs of

the body. They detect environmental stimuli and translate that information
into messages sent to the brain.
PRASHANT KIRAD

SOLUTIONS
The function of motor neuron is:
Motor neuron allow us to move, speak, swallow and breathe by sending
commands from the brain to the muscles that carry out these functions.

31. Abscisic acid is also known as the stress hormone because it is found to
induce various types of responses in plants against stress conditions like the
closure of the stomata during drought, seed dormancy and it also ensures
germination of seed during favorable conditions.

32.There are various organs and organ systems in a complex organism. These
organ systems must be carefully controlled and coordinated for the
organism's survival. Lack of coordination between these systems can lead to
chaos and mismanagement

33.The pancreas performs two main functions:

Exocrine function: The pancreas produces digestive enzymes like amylase,
lipase, and trypsin to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in food.
These enzymes are secreted into the small intestine to facilitate nutrient
absorption.
Endocrine function: The pancreas produces hormones like insulin and
glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels by
facilitating glucose uptake in cells, while glucagon raises blood sugar levels by
stimulating glucose release from stored glycogen.

34. Plant hormones are chemical substances produced by plants that

regulate various physiological processes, such as growth, development, and
responses to environmental stimuli

Auxin: Auxin is a plant hormone that promotes growth. It is synthesized at the

tip of the shot and on the stem apices and is also produced in the buds, stems
and root tips. Auxin promotes cell elongation, helps in the growth of stems
etc.

35.Tropic movements are important for plants because of the following

reasons: They serve as protective function. They help in developing a sudden

response for a stimulus or change. It helps in the growth of pollen tubes
towards the ovules.
Two types of tropic movements are:
Phototropism: growth towards light (e.g., stems bending towards sunlight
- Geotropism: growth in response to gravity (e.g., roots growing downwards)

36.Adrenaline is known as the emergency hormone because it is released by

the adrenal glands under the conditions of stress or excitement. This hormone
is also a part of the body's stress response called the fight or flight response
:Adrenaline helps in coping during emergency situations by:
- Increasing heart rate and blood pressure to prepare the body for "fight or
flight"
- Dilating pupils to improve vision
- Redirecting blood flow to muscles and brain
- Increasing glucose release from energy stores for quick energy
Adrenaline prepares the body to respond to stress, injury, or danger, enabling
us to react quickly and effectively in emergency situations.

37.Receptors are present in our all parts of the body. They detect the signals
and send to the brain in the form of electrical signals.
i) Phono receptors - Its function is to hear and balance the body. It is found in
the ears.
(ii) Photoreceptors - Its function is to see. It is present in the eyes.
(iii) Olfactory receptors - Its function is smell detection. It is found in the nose.
(iv) Thermoreceptors - Its function is to feel the heat, cold or touch. It is
present in the skin.
(v) Gustatory receptors - Its function is to detect Taste. It is present in the
tongue.

38.Light focused on eyes - Stimulus sensed and received by receptors in the

eyes - sensory nerves take the stimulus in form of impulse to the spinal cord -
Decision taken by spinal cord - stimulus transferred to motor neurons from the
spinal cord to the eye muscles - Muscles contract - eyes respond by blinking
and shutting eyes Receptor —> Sensory neuron —> Brain —> Motor neuron —>
Eye —> Eye muscle contracts
