Short Answer

Question : Sameer was studying in his room. Suddenly he smells something burning and sees smoke in the room. He rushes out of the room immediately. Was Sameer's action voluntary or involuntary? Why? 
Answer :   Sameer’s action was voluntary because rushing out of the room was under his conscious control. The smoke and smell were perceived by the receptors in the sense organs and signals are sent to the brain. The brain, then sent signals to the effector organs, i.e., the muscles, to move out of the room to protect tthemselves.

Question : Give a few functions of gibberellins along with auxin. 
Answer :  The gibberellins are weakly acidic phytohormones which help in longitudinal growth of the stem.
i. The two collectively control fruit growth and development.
ii. Control of flowering in long day plants.

Question : How does chemical co-ordination occur in plants? 
Answer : Control and co-ordination in plants: Plants lack well organized control mechanism as in animals. However plants respond to light, touch and gravitational forces. Moreover growth and movements in plants are regulated by external and internal factors.
Growth regulators: Plant growth regulators or phytohormones are the chemicals occurring in minute quantities and responsible for regulating metabolism, growth and development.
The important phytohormones are Auxins (Indole-acetic acid). Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Ethylene, and Abscisic acid (ABA). All growth processes are regulated by one or photohormones acting synergistically or antagonistically.

Question : Why do we call pituitary gland as the master gland? Where is it located and what are its functions? 
Answer :  The pituitary gland has three lobes that secretes various hormones. It regulates various functions of the body i.e. growth, metabolism, sexual development and system of reproduction. It also controls the functioning of the other endocrine glands.
Hence, it is called the master endocrine gland.
Location: Pituitary gland is about the size of a pea and is located in the centre of brain, just below the hypothalamus. It is also known as hypophysis.
Pituitary gland secretes five important hormones. The important hormones secreted by pituitary gland and their functions are listed below:
i. Growth hormone regulates the growth and development of bones and muscles.
ii. Tropic hormone regulates the secretion from other endocrine glands.
iii. Prolactin hormone regulates the function of mammary glands in females.
iv. Vasopressin hormone regulates water and electrolyte balance in the body.
v. Oxytocin hormone regulates the ejection of milk during lactation.
