6. When we touch the leaves of the “touch-me-not” plant, they begin to fold up and droop. How
does the plant communicate the information of touch?

cells.
(b) The plant uses electrical-chemical signals to transfer information from cell to cell.
(c) The plant uses electrical-chemical signals to transfer information from tissue to specialised
cells.
(d) The plant uses electrical signals to transfer information from cells to specialised tissues.
7. Which of the following options shows the mechanism of the travelling of sense in our body
after our nose senses a smell?
(a) Olfactory receptors → dendritic tip of a nerve cell → axon → nerve ending → release of the
signal dendritic tip of another nerve cell

signal dendritic tip of another nerve cell
(d) Gustatory receptors → dendritic tip of a nerve cell → axon → cell body → release of the
signal dendritic tip of another nerve cell
