Worksheet
Explore how organisms respond to stimuli and maintain homeostasis through the nervous and endocrine systems in the chapter on Control and Coordination.
Control and Coordination - Practice Worksheet
Strengthen your foundation with key concepts and basic applications.
This worksheet covers essential long-answer questions to help you build confidence in Control and Coordination from Science for Class X (Science).
Questions
What is the difference between a reflex action and walking?
Think about the level of consciousness involved in each action and the parts of the nervous system they engage.
Explain how the nervous system transmits impulses.
Focus on the roles of dendrites, axons, synapses, and neurotransmitters in impulse transmission.
Describe the role of the brain in reflex actions.
Consider how the brain processes information after the reflex has already been executed.
How do plants respond to stimuli without a nervous system?
Think about the types of movements plants exhibit and the role of plant hormones.
What are plant hormones and how do they function?
List the major plant hormones and their specific roles in plant physiology.
Explain the role of adrenaline in the human body.
Consider the effects of adrenaline on different body systems during stress.
How does the endocrine system differ from the nervous system in terms of communication?
Compare the speed, duration, and mode of communication between the two systems.
What is the significance of iodine in our diet?
Link iodine to thyroid hormone production and its consequences when deficient.
Describe the feedback mechanism involved in hormone regulation.
Think about how the body detects and responds to changes in hormone levels.
How do auxins promote the growth of a tendril around a support?
Consider how auxin distribution affects cell elongation on different sides of the tendril.
Control and Coordination - Mastery Worksheet
Advance your understanding through integrative and tricky questions.
This worksheet challenges you with deeper, multi-concept long-answer questions from Control and Coordination to prepare for higher-weightage questions in Class X Science.
Questions
Explain the role of the nervous system in reflex actions with an example. How does this differ from voluntary actions?
Focus on the speed and pathway of signal transmission in reflex vs. voluntary actions.
Compare and contrast the functions of auxins and gibberellins in plant growth.
Consider the specific growth processes each hormone influences.
Describe the sequence of events that occur when a bright light is focused on your eyes, including the role of the brain and spinal cord.
Trace the pathway from light detection to pupil constriction, noting the involvement of different parts of the nervous system.
How do hormones coordinate the fight or flight response in animals? Include the role of adrenaline in your answer.
Focus on the physiological changes induced by adrenaline and their purpose.
Explain the difference between tropic and nastic movements in plants with examples.
Differentiate based on the directionality and reversibility of the movements.
What is the significance of the feedback mechanism in hormonal regulation? Provide an example.
Think about how the body maintains balance through self-regulating mechanisms.
How does the human brain integrate sensory information to produce a coordinated response?
Consider the roles of different brain regions in processing and responding to sensory information.
Discuss the role of the cerebellum in maintaining posture and balance.
Focus on the cerebellum's function in fine-tuning motor activities and balance.
Why is iodine important for the thyroid gland, and what are the consequences of its deficiency?
Link iodine's role in hormone production to the effects of its deficiency.
Design an experiment to demonstrate hydrotropism in plant roots.
Think about creating a gradient of water availability to observe root growth direction.

Push your limits with complex, exam-level long-form questions.
The final worksheet presents challenging long-answer questions that test your depth of understanding and exam-readiness for Control and Coordination in Class X.
Questions
Evaluate the implications of reflex actions in emergency situations compared to voluntary actions.
Consider the speed and necessity of unconscious responses versus the deliberation involved in voluntary actions.
How does the human brain integrate information from various senses to coordinate actions?
Think about how multi-sensory information is combined to perform everyday tasks.
Compare and contrast the roles of auxins and gibberellins in plant growth.
Consider the specific growth processes each hormone influences.
Analyze the role of adrenaline in the 'fight or flight' response.
Think about the physiological changes that occur during sudden stress.
Discuss the significance of synaptic transmission in nervous communication.
Consider how chemical signals enable complex neural networks.
Explain how plants coordinate responses to environmental stimuli without a nervous system.
Think about the mechanisms behind rapid leaf movements and directional growth.
Evaluate the impact of hormonal imbalances on human health.
Consider the functions of specific hormones and the consequences of their dysregulation.
How does the spinal cord facilitate reflex actions while also transmitting signals to the brain?
Think about the dual role of the spinal cord in immediate and conscious responses.
Design an experiment to demonstrate hydrotropism in plant roots.
Consider how to create a gradient of water availability to test root directional growth.
Compare the endocrine and nervous systems in terms of speed and duration of response.
Think about the need for both immediate and sustained responses in the body.
