9. Priya is writing some statements, choose the correct statement and help her
a) The hormones are poured directly into the blood and carried
throughout the body by blood circulatory system
b) The hormones have their effect at the sites different from the sites
where they are made so they are called chemical messengers.
c) The hormones act on specific tissue or organ is called the target
organs.
d) All the above.
10. Dwarfism results due to

of an object is called Thigmonasty

12. Look at the given examples and mention the type of movements.
A – Movement of stem towards light
B – The Movement of sun flower towards light
13. A big tree falls in a forest, but its roots are still in contact with the soil. The
branches of this fallen tree grow straight up (vertically).This change in roots
and shoot happens in response to ----------------- and -----------------.
14. The brain is protected by -------------, ------------------- and -------------------.
15. Which is paired endocrine gland?
16. A female is suffering from irregular menstrual cycle. The doctor prescribed
her some hormonal tablets. Which hormone is lacking in her body.
17. Assertion(A) – Insulin regulates blood sugar level.
Reason (R) – Sufficient secretion of insulin will cause diabetes
18. Assertion (A) - Animals can react to stimuli in different ways
Reason (R) – All animals have a nervous system and an endocrine system
involving hormones.
19. Assertion (A) – The effect of auxin hormone on the growth of root is exactly
opposite to that on the stem.
Reason (R) – Auxin hormone increases the rate of growth in root and
decreases the rate of growth in stem.
20. Assertion (A) – A receptor is a specialized group of cells in a sense organ that
perceive a particular type of stimulus.
Reason (R ) –Different sense organs have different receptors for detecting
stimuli.

beings
b). Write a and b in the given flow chart of neuron through which
information travels as an electrical impulse.
5. Why is the flow of signals in a synapse from nerve ending of one neuron to
dendritic end of another neuron but not the reverse?
6. What are phytohormones? List four types of phytohormones. Where are
these hormones synthesized?
7. A cheetah ,on seeing a prey moves towards him at a very high speed. What
causes the movement of his muscles? How does the chemistry of cellular
components of muscles change during the event?
