Question : Draw and label a Neuron. Explain how it carries messages.
Answer : Information from the environment is detected by dendritic tip of a neuron located in the sense organ. A chemical reaction sets off here and it creates an electrical impulse which travels from dendrite to cell body and then along the axon to its endings where it sets off the release of some chemicals. The chemicals cross the synapse and set off a similar electrical impulse in dendrites of next neuron.Another synapse at the end of its axon delivers the impulse to the other cells like muscles cells / glands (effector organs) which react to perform the action.
Question :(a) Name the part of brain which controls :
(i) voluntary action (ii) involuntary action.
(b) What is the significance of the peripheral nervous system? Name the components of this nervous system and distinguish between the origin of the two.
Answer : .a.(i) Voluntary actions - cerebellum; (ii) Involuntary action — medulla oblongata.
b. The communication between the central nervous system and the other parts of the body is facilitated by the peripheral nervous system. Cranial nerves arise from the brain; spinal nerves arise from the spinal cord.

OR
Draw and describe the role of various parts of human brain.

Question : Describe an activity to illustrate the phenomenon of phototropism and explain why does this occur.
Answer :
a. Take a plant and make such an arrangement that it receives the light coming from a window as shown in the figure and observe it for few days.
b. Now,turn the flask so that the shoots are away from light and the roots towards light.
Leave it undisturbed in this condition for a few days.
c. Again, observe carefully to find the difference in the movement.
d. When growing plants detect light, auxin, synthesized at the shoot tip, helps the cells to grow longer. Auxin always diffuses towards the shady side of the shoot. This concentration of auxin stimulates the cells to grow longer on the side of the shoot which is away from light. Thus, the plant appears to bend towards light.
Question : (a) What is Phototropism and Geotropism? With labelled diagrams describe an activity to show that light and gravity change the direction that plant part grows in.
(b) Mention the role of each of the following plant hormones:
(i) Auxin (ii) Abscisic acid.
Answer : a. Phototropism It is tropic movements in the direction of light or away from it e.g. shoots bend towards light while roots grow away from it. Hence shoot is positively phototropic and root is negatively phototropic.
Geotropism: Growth of roots downward towards the earth hence positively geotropic whereas stem grows upward, away from earth, hence it is negatively geographic.
b. Auxins: Synthesized at the shoot tip, helps the cells to grow longer.
Abscisic acid: Inhibits growth, causes wilting and falling of leaves.
1. Name or give one term for the following
a) Branched protoplasmic extension of the cell body
b) Part of the brain that coordinate muscular activity
