Q&A

• What functions do plant hormones control?

  Plant hormones regulate germination, growth, flowering, fruit development, and plant responses to light and gravity. Examples include gibberellin, auxin, cytokinin, ethylene, and abscisic acid.

• What are the different types of plant movements, and why are they important?

  Plants exhibit movements such as phototropism (response to light), gravitropism (response to gravity), and thigmotropism (response to touch), which are essential for growth and adaptation. Understanding these concepts is important for exams and in studying plant behavior.

• How do glands and hormones function in the body?

  Different glands release hormones that regulate bodily functions such as growth, metabolism, blood sugar levels, immune system, and emergency responses. Understanding the feedback mechanism is crucial for hormone balance in the body.

• What is reflex action?

  Reflex action involves the rapid response to a stimulus. It includes the reception of a stimulus, transmission through sensory neurons, and subsequent response through motor neurons, often bypassing the brain.

• How does the brain protect itself?

  The brain is protected by the surrounding cerebrospinal fluid and three main parts: forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, with the hindbrain consisting of the cerebellum, medulla, and pons.

• What are the types of neurons and their functions?

  There are sensory, motor, and interneurons. Sensory neurons receive stimuli, motor neurons produce responses, and interneurons facilitate communication between neurons.

• How do neurons transmit signals?

  Neurons transmit electrical signals within the body, and these signals are converted to chemical signals at the synapse before being transmitted to the next neuron in the pathway.

• What are the components of a neuron?

  Neurons consist of a cell body, dendrites, axon, myelin sheath, and nerve endings.

• What is the nervous system composed of?

  The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves outside the brain and spinal cord).
