(a) To develop sex organs in males (b) To stimulate growth in all organs
(c) To regulate sugar and salt levels in the body (d) To initiate metabolism in the body
2 Which of the following option shows the order of events correctly when a bright light is focused on our
eyes?
(a) Bright light → receptors in eyes → sensory neuronàspinal cord → motor neurons → eyelid closes
(b) Bright light → receptors in eyes → spinal cord → sensory neuron → motor neurons → eyelid closes
(c) Bright light → receptors in eyes → sensory neuron → motor neurons → spinal cord → eyelid closes
(d) Bright light → receptors in eyes → spinal cordà motor neurons → sensory neuron → eyelid closes
3 A female is suffering from an irregular menstrual cycle. The doctor prescribed her some hormonal tablets.
Which option shows that the hormone she lacks in her body is from the endocrine gland?
4 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.
5 Raghav potted some germinated seeds in a pot. He put the pot in a cardboard box that was opened from
one side. He keeps the box in a way that the open side of the box faces sunlight near his window. After
2-3 days, he observes the shoot bends towards the light, as shown in the image.
8 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
10 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.

(i) Growth of stem 4
(ii) Promotion of cell division
(iii) Inhibition of growth
(iv) Elongation of cells
16 A.Name the hormones secreted by the following endocrine glands and specify one function of each 3+

B.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 this event?
18 We also think about our actions. Writing, talking, moving a chair, clapping at the end of a
programme are examples of voluntary actions which are based on deciding what to do next.
So, the brain also has to send messages to muscles. This is the second way in which the
nervous system communicates with the muscles. The communication between the central
nervous system and the other parts of the body is facilitated by the peripheral nervous system
consisting of cranial nerves arising from the brain and spinal nerves arising from the spinal
cord. The brain thus allows us to think and take actions based on that thinking.
