CHAPTER-7 (CONTROL AND COORDINATION)
I. MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS:
1. The growth of tendrils in pea plants is due to the:

(a) Effect of sunlight on the tendril cells facing the sun


(b) Effect of gravity on the part of tendril hanging down towards the earth
(c) Rapid cell division and elongation in tendril cells that are away from the support
(d) Rapid cell division and elongation in tendril cells in contact with the support.

2. Fall of mature leaves and fruits from plants is triggered by which of the following substance?
(a) Auxin (b) Cytokinin (c) Gibberellin (d) Abscisic acid
3. The longest fibre on the cell body of a neuron is called
(a) sheath (b) cytoplasm (c) axon (d) dendrites
4. Which part of nervous system controls the re¬flex activities of the body?
(a) Brain (b) Spinal cord (c) Cerebrum (d) Cerebellum
5. Identify which of the following statements about thyroxin is incorrect?
(a) Thyroid gland requires iodine to synthesize thyroxin.
(b) Thyroxin is also called thyroid hormone.
(c) It regulates protein, carbohydrates and fat metabolism in the body.
(d) Iron is essential for the synthesis of thyroxin
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?
(a) The plant uses electrical signals to transfer information from the external environment to
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
(b) Olfactory receptors → dendritic tip of a nerve cell → axon → cell body → release of signal
→ dendritic tip of other nerve cell
(c) Gustatory receptors → dendritic tip of a nerve cell → cell body → axon → release of the
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
8. Dandelion flowers open the petals in bright light during the daytime but close the petals in
dark at night. This response of dandelion flowers to light is called:
(a) Phototropism (b) Thigmonasty (c) Chemotropism (d) Photonasty
9. Any change in the environment to which an organism responds is called
(a) stimulus (b) coordination (c) response (d) hormone
10. Which gland secretes the growth hormone?
(a) Pituitary gland (b) Thyroid (c) Hypothalamus (d) Adrenal

II. Assertion- Reason


The question below consists of an assertion and a Reason. Use the following key to choose
the appropriate answer.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
11. Assertion(A) : Insulin regulates blood sugar level.
Reason (R) : Insufficient secretion of insulin will cause diabetes.
12. Assertion(A): The effect of auxin hormone on the growth of root is exactly opposite to that
on a stem.
Reason (R) : Auxin hormone increases the rate of growth in root and decreases the rate of growth
in stem.
13. 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.
14. Assertion(A): Cyton region of nerve fibre collects information for the brain.
Reason (R): Nerve fibres can either have or lack myelin sheath.
15. Assertion(A): A nerve impulse is an electrochemical event.
Reason (R) : In a nerve impulse there are changes in the resting potential which spreads down
the nerve fibre.
