Case Study Questions for Class 10 Science Chapter 7 Control and Coordination

  • Last modified on: 1 year ago
  • Reading Time: 5 Minutes

Question 1:

Read the case/passage and answer the questions given below.

To carry out a simple function such as eating food there has to be coordination of the eyes, hands and the mouth. The eyes have to focus on the food, the hands have to pick it up and take it to the mouth where it will be chewed. All these actions have to be coordinated in such a manner that they follow a particular sequence and the action is completed. A similar mechanism is also needed for internal functions of the body. This function is carried out by the nervous system. It is composed of (a) Specialised cells which can detect, receive and transmit different kinds of stimuli. These are called neurons. (b) Nerve fibres which are certain bundles of extended processes of nerve cells.

The individuals also have to adjust to the changing conditions around them and vary their responses. At the same time, the internal conditions of the body should be maintained constant. This is called homeostasis. The internal conditions of the body are maintained at a constant by controlling the physiology of the organisms.

(i) What will the correct sequence in which conduction of information through nerves take place? (ii) How homeostasis is said to maintain the equilibrium of the body? (iii) What function does the central nervous system perform? (iv) What happens when the dendrite tip of a nerve cell receives a signal?

  • Read the case given and the associated questions carefully.
  • Read the questions attentively and analyse what they are asking.
  • Apply your subject knowledge and theories in the given case to decide what the correct answers should be.

1.A chemical reaction is a representation of chemical change in terms of symbols and formulae of reactants and products. There are various types of chemical reactions like combination, decomposition, displacement, double displacement, oxidation and reduction reactions. Reactions in which heat is released along with the formation of products are called exothermic chemical reactions. All combustion reactions are exothermic reactions.

2.The earlier concept of oxidation and reduction is based on the addition or removal of oxygen or hydrogen elements so, in terms of oxygen and hydrogen, oxidation is addition of oxygen to a substance and removal of hydrogen from a substance. On the other hand, reduction is addition of hydrogen to a substance and removal of oxygen from a substance. The substance which gives oxygen to another substance or removes hydrogen from another substance in an oxidation reaction is known as oxidising agent, while the substance which gives hydrogen to another substance or removes oxygen from another substance in a reduction reaction is known as reducing agent. For example, 

(i) A redox reaction is one in which

(a) both the substances are reduced

(b) both the substances are oxidised

(c) an acid is neutralised by the base

(d) one substance is oxidised while the other is reduced.

(ii) In the reaction, H2S+Cl2⟶S+2HCl

(a) H2S is the reducing agent. 

(b) HCl is the oxidising agent.

(c) H2S is the oxidising agent. 

(d) Cl2 is the reducing agent.

(iii) Which of the following processes does not involve either oxidation or reduction?

(a) Formation of slaked lime from quicklime.

(b) Heating mercuric oxide.

(c) Formation of manganese chloride from manganese oxide (MnO2).

(d) It is a redox reaction.

3.A copper vessel gets tarnished due to formation of an oxide layer on its surface. On rubbing lemon on the vessel, the surface is cleaned, and the vessel begins to shine again. This is due to the fact that which reacts with the acid present in lemon to form a salt which is washed away with water. As a result, the layer of copper oxide is removed from the surface of the vessel and the shining surface is exposed.

c) displacement

d)none of these

4.Metals as we know, are very useful in all fields, industries in particular. Non-metals are no less in any way. Oxygen present in air is essential for breathing as well as for combustion. Non-metals form a large number of compounds which are extremely useful, e.g., ammonia, nitric acid, sulphuric acid, etc. Non-metals are found to exist in three states of matter. Only solid non-metals are expected to be hard however, they have low density and are brittle. They usually have low melting and boiling points and are poor conductors of electricity.

i.____________ is a non-metal but is lustrous

A.Phosphorus

ii.Which of the following is known as 'King of chemicals'?

C. Sulphuric acid

D. Nitric acid

iii.Which of the following non-metals is a liquid?

C.nitrogenous fertilizers

D. all of these

5.Nisha observed that the bottoms of cooking utensils were turning black in colour while the flame of her stove was yellow in colour. Her daughter suggested cleaning the air holes of the stove to get a clean, blue flame. She also told her mother that this would prevent the fuel from getting wasted.

a) Identify the reasons behind the sooty flame arising from the stove.

b) Can you distinguish between saturated and unsaturated compounds by burning them? Justify your answer.

c) Why do you think the colour of the flame turns blue once the air holes of the stove are cleaned?

6.Blood transport food, Oxygen and waste materials in our bodies. It consists of plasma as a fluid medium. A pumping organ [heart] is required to push the blood around the body. The blood flows through the chambers of the heart in a specific manner and direction. While flowing throughout the body, blood exerts a pressure against the wall or a vessel.

  • Pulmonary artery

  • It has different chambers to prevent O2 rich blood from mixing with the blood containing CO2
  • Both A & C
  • Blood = Plasma + RBC + WBC + Platelets
  • Plasma = Blood – RBC
  • Lymph = Plasma + RBC

7.A brain is displayed at the Allen Institute for Brain Science. The human brain is a 3-pound (1.4-kilogram) mass of jelly-like fats and tissues—yet it's the most complex of all known living structures The human brain is more complex than any other known structure in the universe. Weighing in at three pounds, on average, this spongy mass of fat and protein is made up of two overarching types of cells—called glia and neurons— and it contains many billions of each. Neurons are notable for their branch-like projections called axons and dendrites, which gather and transmit electrochemical signals. Different types of glial cells provide physical protection to neurons and help keep them, and the brain, healthy. Together, this complex network of cells gives rise to every aspect of our shared humanity. We could not breathe, play, love, or remember without the brain.

11.Food chains are very important for the survival of most species.When only one element is removed from the food chain it can result in extinction of a species in some cases.The foundation of the food chain consists of primary producers.Primary producers or autotrophs,can use either solar energy or chemical energy to create complex organic compounds,whereas species at higher trophic levels cannot and so must consume producers or other life that itself consumes producers. Because the sun’s light is necessary for photosynthesis,most life could not exist if the sun disappeared.Even so,it has recently been discovered that there are some forms of life,chemotrophs,that appear to gain all their metabolic energy from chemosynthesis driven by hydrothermal vents,thus showing that some life may not require solar energy to thrive.

1.If 10,000 J solar energy falls on green plants in a terrestrial ecosystem,what percentage of solar energy will be converted into food energy?

(d)It will depend on the type of the terrestrial plant

2.Matter and energy are two fundamental inputs of an ecosystem. Movement of

(a)Energy is by directional and matter is repeatedly circulating

(b)Energy is repeatedly circulating and matter is unidirectional

(c)Energy is unidirectional and matter is repeatedly circulating

(d)Energy is multidirectional and matter is bidirectional

3.Raj is eating curd/yoghurt. For this food intake in a food chain he should be considered as occupying

(a)First trophic level

(b)Second trophic level

(c)Third trophic level

5.The decomposers are not included in the food chain. The correct reason for the same is because decomposers

(a) Act at every trophic level at the food chain

(b) Do not breakdown organic compounds

(c) Convert organic material to inorganic forms

(d) Release enzymes outside their body to convert organic material to inorganic forms

12.Shyam participated in a group discussion in his inter school competition on the practical application of light and was very happy to win an award for his school. That very evening his father gave treat to celebrate Shyam’s win.

14.One of the wires in domestic circuits supply, usually with a red insulation cover, is called live wire. with black insulation is called neutral wire. The earth wire, which has insulation of green colour, is usually connected to a metal plate deep in the earth near the house appliances that has a metallic body. Overloading contact, in such a situation the current in the circuit abruptly increases. circuit prevents damage to the appliances and the circuit due to overloading.

1 When do we say that an electrical appliance

2 Mention the function of earth wire in electrical line

3 How is an electric fuse connected in a domestic circuit?

4 When overloading and short circuiting are said to occur?

5 What is a live wire?

15.Light of all the colours travel at the same speed in vacuum for all wavelengths. But in any transparent medium(glass or water), the light of different colours travels at different speeds for different wavelengths, which means that the refractive index of a particular medium is different for different wavelengths. As there is a difference in their speeds, the light of different colours bend through different angles. The speed of violet colour is maximum and the speed of red colour is minimum in glass so, the red light deviates least and violet colour deviates most. Hence, higher the wavelength of a colour of light, smaller the refractive index and less is the bending of light.

(i)Which of the following statements is correct regarding the propagation of Light of different colours of white light in air?

(a) Red light moves fastest.

(b) Blue light moves faster than green light.

(c) All the colours of the white light move with the same speed.

(d) Yellow light moves with the mean speed as that of the red and the violet light.

(ii)Which of the following is the correct order of wavelength?

(a) Red> Green> Yellow

(b) Red> Violet> Green

(c) Yellow> Green> Violet

(d) Red> Yellow> Orange

(iii)Which of the following is the correct order of speed of light in glass?

(a) Red> Green> Blue

(b) Blue> Green> Red

(c) Violet> Red> Green

(d) Green> Red> Blue

(iv)Which colour has maximum frequency?

16.The region around a magnet where magnetism acts is represented by the magnetic field.The force of magnetism is due to moving charge or some magnetic material. Like stationary charges produce an electric field proportional to the magnitude of charge, moving charges produce magnetic fields proportional to the current. In other words, a current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it. The subatomic particles in the conductor, like the electrons moving in atomic orbitals, are responsible for the production of magnetic fields. The magnetic field lines around a straight conductor (straight wire) carrying current are concentric circles whose centres lie on the wire.

1)The magnetic field associated with a current carrying straight conductor is in anti- clockwise direction. If the conductor was held horizontally along east west direction,what is the direction of current through it?

2)Name and state the rule applied to determine the direction of magnetic field in a straight current carrying conductor.

3)Ramus performs an experiment to study the magnetic effect of current around a current carrying straight conductor with the help of a magnetic compass. He reports that

a)The degree of deflection of magnetic compass increases when the compass is moved away from the conductor.

b)The degree of deflection of the magnetic compass increases when the current through the conductor is increased.

Which of the above observations of the student appears to be wrong and why?

What are case study questions?

  • Sample Papers with Case Study questions
  • Class 10 Science Case Study question examples
  • How to get case-based questions for free?
  • How to attempt the case-based questions in Science?

Questions based on case studies are some real-life examples. The questions are asked based on a given paragraph i.e. Case Study.  Usually, 4-5 questions are asked on the basis of the given passage. In most cases, these are either MCQs or assertion & reason type questions. Let’s take an example to understand. There is one paragraph on how nitrogen is generated in the atmosphere. On the basis of this paragraph, the board asks a few objective-type questions. In other words, it is very similar to the unseen passages given in language papers. But the real cases may be different. So, read this article till the end to understand it thoroughly.

What is CBE?

CBSE stands for competency-based education. The case study questions are part of this CBE. The purpose of CBE is to demonstrate the learning outcomes and attain proficiency in particular competencies.

Questions on Real-life Situations

As discussed the case study questions are based on real-life situations. Especially for grade 10 science, it is very essential to have the practical knowledge to solve such questions. Here on the myCBSEguide app, we have given many such case study paragraphs that are directly related to real-life implications of the knowledge.

Sample Papers with Case Study Questions

Class 10 Science Sample Papers with case study questions are available in the myCBSEguide App . There are 4 such questions (Q.No.17 to 20) in the CBSE model question paper. If you analyze the format, you will find that the MCQs are very easy to answer. So, we suggest you, read the given paragraph carefully and then start answering the questions. In some cases, you will find that the question is not asked directly from the passage but is based on the concept that is discussed there. That’s why it is very much important to understand the background of the case study paragraph.

CBSE Case Study Sample Papers

You can download CBSE case study sample papers from the myCBSEguide App or Student Dashboard. Here is the direct link to access it.

Case Study Question Bank

As we mentioned that case study questions are coming in your exams for the last few years. You can get them in all previous year question papers issued by CBSE for class 1o Science. Here is the direct link to get them too.

Class 10 Science Case Study Question Examples

As you have already gone through the four questions provided in the CBSE model question paper , we are proving you with other examples of the case-based questions in the CBSE class 10 Science. If you wish to get similar questions, you can download the myCBSEguide App and access the Sample question papers with case study-type questions.

Case-based Question -1

Read the following and answer any four questions: Salt of a strong acid and strong base is neutral with a pH value of 7. NaCl common salt is formed by a combination of hydrochloride and sodium hydroxide solution. This is the salt that is used in food. Some salt is called rock salt bed of rack salt was formed when seas of bygone ages dried up. The common salt thus obtained is an important raw material for various materials of daily use, such as sodium hydroxide, baking soda, washing soda, and bleaching powder.

  • Phosphoric acid
  • Carbonic acid
  • Hydrochloric acid
  • Sulphuric acid
  • Blue vitriol
  • Washing soda
  • Baking soda
  • Bleaching powder

Case-based Question -2

  • V 1  + V 2  + V 3
  • V 1  – V 2  +V 2
  • None of these
  • same at every point of the circuit
  • different at every point of the circuit
  • can not be determined
  • 20 3 Ω 203Ω
  • 15 2 Ω 152Ω

Case-based Question -3

  • pure strips
  • impure copper
  • refined copper
  • none of these
  • insoluble impurities
  • soluble impurities
  • impure metal
  • bottom of cathode
  • bottom of anode

How to Attempt the Case-Based Questions in Science?

Before answering this question, let’s read the text given in question number 17 of the CBSE Model Question Paper.

All living cells require energy for various activities. This energy is available by the breakdown of simple carbohydrates either using oxygen or without using oxygen.

See, there are only two sentences and CBSE is asking you 5 questions based on these two sentences. Now let’s check the first questions given there.

Energy in the case of higher plants and animals is obtained by a) Breathing b) Tissue respiration c) Organ respiration d) Digestion of food

Now let us know if you can relate the question to the paragraph directly. The two sentences are about energy and how it is obtained. But neither the question nor the options have any similar text in the paragraph.

So the conclusion is, in most cases, you will not get direct answers from the passage. You will get only an idea about the concept. If you know it, you can answer it but reading the paragraph even 100 times is not going to help you.

NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 7 Intext Questions

Intext Question (Page No. 119)

Question 1: What is the difference between a reflex action and walking?

Question 2: What happens at the synapse between two neurons?

Answer: A very small gap that occurs between the last portion of axon of one neuron and the dendrite of the other neuron is known as a synapse. It acts as a one-way valve to transmit impulses in one direction only.This one-directional transfer of impulses occurs as the chemicals are produced in only one side of the neuron i.e., the axon’s side. From axon, the impulses travel across the synapse to the dendrite of the other neuron.

Question 3: Which part of the brain maintains posture and equilibrium of the body?

Answer: Cerebellum which is a part of Hind brain is responsible for Controls the motor functioning hence it is the part reengaged in the maintenance of posture and equilibrium of the body.

Question 4: How do we detect the smell of an agarbatti (incense stick)?

Answer: The thinking part of our brain is the forebrain. It has separate areas that are specialized for hearing, smelling, sight, taste, touch, etc. The forebrain also has regions that collect information or impulses from the various receptors. When the smell of an incense stick reaches us, our forebrain detects it. Then, the forebrain interprets it by putting it together with the information received from other receptors and also with the information already stored in the brain.

Question 5: What is the role of the brain in reflex action?

Answer: Reflex actions are formed instantaneously in response to the stimulus that has no time to think. For instance the sensory nerves that detect the heat are connected to the nerves that move the muscles of the hand. Such a connection of detecting the signal from the nerves (input) and responding to it quickly (output) is known as reflex arc.

Reflex action are generated in spinal cord and the information also reaches brain. This helps the brain to record this event and remember it for future use.  Brain helps the person the person to get awareness of the stimulus and prevent himself from that situation again.

Intext Question (Page No. 122)

Question 1: What are plant hormones?

Answer: Plant hormones or phytohormones are naturally-occurring organic substances. These are synthesized in one part of the plant body (in minute quantities) and are translocated to other parts when required. The five major types of phytohormones are auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethylene.

  • Gibberellins help in the growth of the stem.
  • Auxins help in the growth of the stem.
  • Cytokinins promote cell division.
  • Abscisic acid is one example of a hormone which inhibits growth.

Question 2: How is the movement of leaves of the sensitive plant different from the movement of a shoot towards light?

Question 3: Give an example of a plant hormone that promotes growth.

Answer: Examples of plants growth hormones: Auxins and Gibberlins are the hormone responsible for the growth of plant. Auxins are responsible for the cell elongation in shoot and also regulates growth. Gibberlin is responsible for stem elongation and germination.

Question 4: How do auxins promote the growth of a tendril around a support?

Answer: Auxins are the plant hormones produces at the tip of a shoot and root. Auxins are present at the tip of tendrils. When tendrils are attached around any support their growth is slowed down as auxins are sensitive to touch. This make them move to the other side of the tip to get support this makes the other side grow faster than the side of tendril in contact with the support and the tendril bends towards the support.

Question 5: Design an experiment to demonstrate hydrotropism.

Answer: Take two small beakers and label them as A and B. Fill beaker A with water. Now make a cylindrical-shaped roll from a filter paper and keep it as a bridge between beaker A and beaker B, as shown in the figure. Attach few germinating seeds in the middle of the filter paper bridge. Now, cover the entire set-up with a transparent plastic container so that the moisture is retained.

Observation: The roots of the germinating seeds will grow towards beaker A. This experiment demonstrates the phenomenon of hydrotropism

NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 7 Control and Coordination image 1

Intext Question (Page No. 125)

Question 1: How does chemical coordination take place in animals?

Answer: Chemical coordination takes place in animals with the help of hormones. Hormone is the chemical messenger that regulates the physiological processes in living organisms. It is secreted by glands. The regulation of physiological processes and control and coordination by hormones comes under the endocrine system. The nervous system along with the endocrine system in our body controls and coordinates the physiological processes.

Question 2: Why is the use of iodised salt advisable?

Answer: It is advised to use iodised salt because thyroid gland needs iodine to produce thyroxin hormone. Thyroxin hormone controls all the metabolic activities of our body like metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein etc. Due to the deficiency of thyroxin a disease called goitre is caused.

Question 3: How does our body respond when adrenaline is secreted into the blood?

Answer: Adrenalin is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands in case of any danger or emergency or any kinds of stress. It is secreted directly into the blood and is transported to different parts of the body. When secreted in large amounts, it speeds up the heartbeat and hence supplies more oxygen to the muscles. The breathing rate also increases due to contractions of diaphragm and rib muscles. It also increases the blood pressure. All these responses enable the body to deal with any stress or emergency.

Question 4: Why are some patients of diabetes treated by giving injections of insulin?

Answer: Insulin hormone regulates blood sugar levels. If this is not secreted in proper amounts, the sugar level in the blood rises. This causes many harmful effects. To treat harmful effects of increased level of blood sugar, the diabetic patients are treated by giving injections of insulin.

NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 7 Exercise Questions

Question 1: Which of the following is a plant hormone? (a) Insulin (b) Thyroxin (c) Oestrogen (d) Cytokinin

Answer: (d) Cytokinin

Question 2: The gap between two neurons is called a (a) dendrite (b) synapse (c) axon (d) impulse

Answer: (b) synapse.

Question 3: The brain is responsible for (a) thinking (b) regulating the heart beat (c) balancing the body (d) all of the above

Answer: (d) all of the above

Question 4: What is the function of receptors in our body? Think of situations where receptors do not work properly. What problems are likely to arise?

Answer: Receptors are specialised cells located in our sense organs like ear, nose, skin, tongue and eyes. The function of receptors is to detect information from the environment. For example, olfactory receptors detect smell. If receptors do not work properly, the information obtained from the environment will be delayed to reach the spinal cord or brain. In this situation, the response to the environmental stimulus will be delayed causing harm to the body. For example, if skin receptors are damaged, and one accidentally touches a hot object, then his/her hands might get burn as the damaged receptor cannot perceive the external stimuli of heat and pain.

Question 5: Draw the structure of a neuron and explain its function.

Answer: Neurons are the functional units of the nervous system. The three main parts of a neuron are axon, dendrite and cell body.

Functions of the three parts of a neuron:

  • Axon: It conducts messages away from the cell body.
  • Dendrite: It receives information from axon of another cell and conducts the messages towards the cell body.
  • Cell body: It contains nucleus, mitochondria, and other organelles. It is mainly concerned with the maintenance and growth.

Question 6: How does phototropism occur in plants?

Answer: The movement of plant in response to light is called phototropism. Stem shows positive phototropism as follows:

When growing plants detect light, a hormone called auxin, synthesized at the shoot tip, helps the cells to grow longer. When light is coming from one side of the plant, auxin 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 7: Which signals will get disrupted in case of a spinal cord injury?

Answer: The reflex arc connections between the input and output nerves meet in a bundle in the spinal cord. In fact, nerves from all over the body meet in a bundle in the spinal cord on their way to the brain. In case of any injury to the spinal cord, the signals coming from the nerves as well as the signals coming to the receptors will be disrupted.

Question 8: How does chemical coordination occur in plants?

Answer: Plant growth, development and responses to the environment is controlled and coordinated by a special class of chemical substances known as hormones. Hormones are produced in one part of the plant and are transported to all the needy parts of the plant. The five major types of phytohormone are auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene. These phytohormones are either growth promoters (such as auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, and ethylene) or growth inhibitors such as abscisic acid.

Question 9: What is the need for a system of control and coordination in an organism?

Answer: The maintenance of the body functions in response to changes in the body by working together of various integrated body systems is known as coordination. All the movements that occur in response to stimuli are carefully coordinated and controlled. In animals, the control and coordination movements are provided by nervous and muscular systems. The nervous system sends messages to and away from the brain. The spinal cord plays an important role in the relay of messages. In the absence of this system of control and coordination, our body will not be able to function properly. For example, when we accidentally touch a hot utensil, we immediately withdraw our hand. In the absence of nerve transmission, we will not withdraw our hand and may get burnt.

Question 10: How are involuntary actions and reflex actions different from each other?

Question 11: Compare and contrast nervous and hormonal mechanisms for control and coordination in animals.

Question 12: What is the difference between the manner in which movement takes place in a sensitive plant and the movement in our legs?

Topics covered under Class 10 Science Chapter 7 Control and Coordination

Below we have listed the topics discussed in NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 7. The list gives you a quick look at the different topics and subtopics of this chapter.

NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 7 – A Brief Discussion

Chapter Overview: In keeping with the general principles of body organisation in multicellular organisms, specialised tissues are used to provide control and coordination activities. In animals, such control and coordination are provided by nervous and muscular tissues. But plants have neither a nervous system nor muscles. So in plants, cells change their shape for the conduction of information. Hormones also play an important role in coordination which has been discussed in the chapter briefly.

Gibberellins

Abscisic acid

9. What is the role of the brain in reflex action?

Ans: A reflex action is a rapid and spontaneous action in response to any stimulus. It is controlled by the spinal cord. Example- Sudden jerky withdrawal of hand after touching something hot. T he reflex action is instant where thinking is not involved and hence the brain has no role. Although the information also goes on to the brain where the encounter remains the memory and makes us aware of our actions.

10. How is control and coordination between the environment and plants brought about?

Ans: Plants responses are of two types

Growth dependent – They are due to cell divisions.

Growth independent response – They are due to change in the amount of water.

Plants do not perform control & coordination like animals but they give responses to external stimuli like touch, light, and chemicals, etc.

11. Give two examples of functions in plants that are regulated by light.

Ans: The two functions in plants that are regulated by light are:

Seed germination - Breaking of dormancy 

Photosynthesis – Respiration process

12. What is coordination? Give an example.

Ans: Coordination is a process through which two or more organs interact and complement the functions of one to adjust the vital activities of life. For example – under stressed conditions, the adrenal gland secretes the adrenaline hormone which prepares the body to face the emergency by increasing the breathing rate and heartbeat so that more oxygen can be supplied to the body.

13. How do endocrine glands help in maintaining feedback control?

Ans: The timing and amount of hormones released are regulated by the feedback mechanism. The endocrine system depends on the feedback system concerning hormones. There are two types of feedback systems –  

Negative Feedback  – This mechanism prevents deviation from the ideal mean value. For ex- less glucose levels in the blood do not induce the pancreatic cells to produce insulin so that less conversion of glucose to glycogen may occur.

Positive Feedback  – These mechanisms promote deviation from the mean ideal value. For ex- High glucose level in the blood induces. The pancreatic cells produce insulin which converts glucose to glycogen.

14. Which types of glands in the human body secrete hormones? State any one location for them.

Ans: Three types of glands that secrete hormones in the human body are-

Exocrine gland – These types of glands have ducts that do not secrete their secretion into the blood. For example – the salivary gland.

Endocrine gland – These types of glands do not have ducts, they pour their secretion into blood. For example – The pituitary gland. 

15. What is the result of hypothyroidism in children called?

Ans: The result of hypothyroidism in children is known as exophthalmic goiter. The exophthalmic goiter results in bulging of eyes, increased blood pressure, and heartbeat.

16. How is flowering affected in plants by various hormones?

Ans: Flowering is affected in plants by various hormones such as auxins and cytokinin promotes female flowers while gibberellins promote male flowers. Duration of light affects flowering in long-day plants and short-day plants.

17. Name the fluid-filled between the meninges of the brain. What are its functions?

Ans: The fluid-filled between the meninges of the brain is known as the cerebrospinal fluid. Its function is to protect the brain from mechanical shocks.

18. Name any two heterocrine glands and mention their function.

Ans: The two heterocrine glands are: 

Pancreas – Its endocrine function is to produce insulin and glucagon. Its exocrine function is to produce digestive enzymes.

Ovaries – Its endocrine function is to produce estrogen and progesterone hormone. Its exocrine function is to produce female gametes.

19. What is the response of the stem towards light & gravity?

Ans: Plants' growth response to gravity is known as gravitropism and to light is phototropism. The stem shows a positive response toward the light i.e., it grows in the direction of the light and it shows a negative response toward gravity i.e., it grows in the opposite direction of gravity.

20. Name two activities that are regulated by plant pigments.

Ans: The two activities that are regulated by plant pigments are: 

The response to the photoperiodic stimulus – due to some specialized pigments and phytochromes.

The control and coordination in plants with their environment.

21. How do we detect the smell of an agarbatti (incense stick)?

Ans: Olfactory receptors help us detect the smell of an agarbatti. When you smell the scent of an incense stick, it first reaches your nose, where it is detected by the olfactory receptors. It is then sent to the forebrain in the form of electrical signals. The forebrain then interprets these electrical signals as the smell of an incense stick.

Pathway by which smell of incense stick is detected

22. What are plant hormones?

Ans: Hormones are the chemicals that help to coordinate growth, and development. Plant hormones are the chemicals that help to coordinate growth, development, flowering and response to the environment in plants. For example – auxins, gibberellins, abscisic acid (ABA), cytokinin, etc.

23. How is the movement of leaves of the sensitive plant different from the movement of a shoot towards light?

Short Answer Questions (3 Marks)

1. Mention three important functions of gibberellins.

Ans: Three important functions of Gibberellins are –

Stimulate stem elongation.

Help in breaking seed dormancy.

Promote production of male flowers.

2. What is the function of receptors in our body? What happens when receptors do not work properly?

Ans: The receptors detect information from the environment. If they do not work properly, the information will not be detected or will be detected late, due to which further process will be delayed and the signals will take time reaching the spinal cord or the brain. Hence, the response to the environmental stimulus will be delayed causing harm to the body.

3. What happens at the synapse between two neurons?

Ans: Junctions of two neurons is called synapses. When a receptor detects a stimulus, chemicals is set off through the neurons. These electric signals travel from the dendrite of the presynaptic neuron to its cell body and then along its axon. At the end of axon of this neuron, the electrical impulse crosses the synapse and starts a similar electrical impulse in the dendrite of the next neuron.

4. What is the need for a system of control and coordination in an organism?

Ans: The control and coordination in an organism is needed for the proper functioning of the body. It handles appropriate movement in response to any external stimulus.

Multicellular organisms have a complex body and hence it coordinates with various organs of the body of an organism working together in a proper manner to produce proper reaction to stimulus. For example – under stressed conditions, the adrenal gland secretes the adrenaline hormone which prepares the body to face the emergency by increasing the breathing rate and heartbeat so that more oxygen can be supplied to the body.

5. Pituitary is a master endocrine gland. Justify this statement.

Ans: Pituitary gland is a master gland because it regulates the secretion of other endocrine glands such as -

Growth hormones 

Thyroid stimulating hormone 

Adrenocorticotropic hormone

Pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain and is attached to the hypothalamus by nerve fibres and blood vessels. The pituitary gland consists of Anterior lobe and Posterior lobe.

6. Draw the structure of the neuron and explain its function.

Ans: The basic structure of a neuron has three components –

Structure of a Nerve cell

Junctions of two neurons is called synapses. When a receptor detects a stimulus, chemicals is set off through the neurons. These electric signals travel from the dendrite of the presynaptic neuron to its cell body and then along its axon. At the end of axon of this neuron, the electrical impulse crosses the synapse and starts a similar electrical impulse in the dendrite of the next neuron.

7. How does our body respond when adrenaline is secreted into the blood?

Ans: Adrenaline is a hormone which is involved in regulating visceral functions. Adrenaline is normally produced both by the adrenal glands and by a small number of neurons in the medulla oblongata. Under stressed conditions, the adrenal gland secretes the adrenaline hormone which prepares the body to face the emergency by increasing the breathing rate and heartbeat so that more oxygen can be supplied to the body. The blood supply decreases from the skin and digestive system and increases to skeletal muscles. 

8. Where are Pons and medulla oblongata located? Write their functions.

Ans: Testosterone is secreted in male bodies. 

Function of testosterone – It is responsible for development of male sex organs and secondary sex characteristics like moustache, beard & voice.

Estrogen is secreted in male bodies. 

Function of estrogen – it is responsible for development of female sex organs and secondary sex characteristics like mammary gland and uterine growth.

10. Define ‘nerve impulse’. Which structure in a neuron helps to conduct a nerve impulse?

Towards the cell body?

Ans: Nerve Impulse is a wave of the passing of information through neurons in the form of electrical and chemical signals. Dendrite helps to conduct a nerve impulse towards the cell body.

Away from the cell body?

Ans: Nerve Impulse is a wave of the passing of information through neurons in the form of electrical and chemical signals. Axon helps to conduct a nerve impulse away from the cell body.

27. On touching a hot plate, you suddenly withdraw your hand. Which category of neurons became active first and which one next?

Ans: Suddenly withdrawing the hand on touching a hot plate is an example of reflex action. Hence, first the sensory neurons are activated, which take the information to the spinal cord. After that, the motor neurons become active and bring the impulses from the brain to the muscles. 

28. How does the plant shoot bends, when the plant is placed in a room having only one open window?

Ans: The shoot of the plant bends towards the direction of light when the plant is placed in such a room that has only one open window and this happens due to the auxin which is a plant growth hormone. Auxin diffuses towards the shady side of the shoot and stimulates the cells to live longer on the side of the shoot which is away from light. 

29. Give a reason to explain why

adrenaline helps in dealing emergency situations?

Ans: Under stressed conditions, the stimulus is being perceived by the Central Nervous System which stimulates the adrenal gland that secretes the adrenaline hormone which prepares the body to face the emergency by increasing the breathing rate and heartbeat so that more oxygen can be supplied to the body. The blood supply decreases from the skin and digestive system and increases to skeletal muscles. 

secretions of growth hormone should be specific in the human body?

Ans: Secretions of growth hormone should be specific in the human body because if growth hormones are secreted in excess quantity then it will lead to gigantism while the less secretion of this hormone causes dwarfism.

30. A man becomes unconscious due to head injury. A pin is pricked on his foot, he withdraws his foot. Why? Explain.

Ans: Withdrawal of the foot when a pin is pricked on the foot is an example of the reflex action and reflex actions are controlled by the spinal cord and not by the brain. Hence, although being injured on the head, the person will withdraw his foot.

Control and coordination class 10 important questions - summary.

Control and coordination Class 10 important questions include the topic namely nervous system muscular tissue correlation. This chapter also explains human brain anatomy, tissue protection, and nervous tissue action. It also gives brief information about animals and plants chemical coordination. The human body is a complex machine, which performs a ton of functions and processes to maintain and sustain human life. Living organisms must use systems providing chemical control and coordination. Keeping the general principles of body organisation in multicellular organisms. Specialised tissues are used to provide control and coordination activities.

Topics covered in Chapter 7 Science Class 10 important questions are - animal nervous system, reflex action, the human brain, coordination in the plant, response to the stimuli, movement due to growth, and also hormones in animals.

Nervous System - In the nervous system, neurons are the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. There are three parts in the neurons: dendrites, cyton/stoma/cell body and axon. Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons, cyton/soma processes the impulse. Axon transmits the impulse, either to another neuron or to muscles/glands, etc and it may be myelinated or unmyelinated. Nervous systems covered in the chapter are - central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, somatic nervous system, and autonomic nervous system.

Reflex Action - It is a sudden and involuntary reaction of the body in response to the stimuli. A reflex arc is a path followed by the electrical impulse during reflex action. The impulse travels from the receptor organ to the brain or spinal cord.

Plant Hormones and Movement - Control and coordination in plants is carried out by different hormones. Some of the plant hormones are auxin, cytokinin, gibberellins, abscisic acid and ethylene. There are two types of movement in plants: growth independent movements and growth-dependent movements. Growth related movements are also known as tropic movements. Some of the tropic movements are Phototropic movement (light dependent), Geotropic movement (gravity-dependent), Chemotropic movement (chemical-dependent), Hydrotropic movement (water-dependent), and Thigmotropic movement (touch dependent).

Endocrine System - Endocrine system in human secrets wide range of hormones for different functions. It consists of different glands like exocrine glands, endocrine glands, pituitary glands, thyroid gland, pancreas, adrenal gland, and gonads.

CBSE Case Study Questions Class 7 Science Respiration in Organisms

Case study 1.

A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. Each cell of an organism performs certain functions such as nutrition, transport, excretion and reproduction. To perform these functions, the cell needs energy. Even when we are eating, sleeping or reading we require energy. The food has stored energy, which is released during respiration . Therefore, all living organisms respire to get energy from food. During breathing, we breathe in air.

Air contains oxygen. We breathe out air which is rich in carbon dioxide. The air we breathe in is transported to all parts of the body and ultimately to each cell. In the cells, oxygen in the air helps in the breakdown of food. The process of breakdown of food in the cell with the release of energy is called cellular respiration. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all organisms. In the cell, the food (glucose) is broken down into carbon dioxide and water using oxygen. When breakdown of glucose occurs with the use of oxygen it is called aerobic respiration. Food can also be broken down, without using oxygen. This is called anaerobic respiration. Breakdown of food releases energy.

Que. 1) What is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism?

(d) All of the above

  Que. 2) All living organisms derive their energy form which of the following?

Our muscle cells can also respireanaerobically, but only for a short time,when there is a temporary deficiency ofoxygen. During heavy exercise, fast

running, cycling, walking formany hours or heavy weight lifting, the

Demand for energy is high. But thesupply of oxygen to produce the energy

Is limited. Then anaerobic respirationtakes places in the muscle cells to fulfil

The demand of energy:

Glucose ____  ( in muscle) in the absence of oxygen ______> lactic acid + energy

The cramps occur when muscle cells respire anaerobically. The partial breakdown of glucose produces lactic acid. The accumulation of lactic acid causes muscle cramps. We get relief from cramps after ahot water bath or a massage. Hot water bath or massage improves circulation of blood.As a result, the supply of oxygen to themuscle cells increases. The increase in

the supply of oxygen results in thecomplete breakdown of lactic acid into

carbon dioxide and water.

Que. 4) Answer: The demand of energy is high in the human body when the body put into a lot of physical stress like walking, hiking, cycling, swimming, and running.

Que. 5) Answer: When the supply of oxygen is increased the lactic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide and water.

Case study 3

Breathing means taking in air rich in oxygen and giving out air rich incarbon dioxide with the help of respiratory organs. The taking in of airrich in oxygen into the body is called inhalation and giving out of air rich in carbon dioxide is known as exhalation. It is a continuous process which goes on all the time and throughout the life of an organism.The number of times a personbreathes in a minute is termed as thebreathing rate. During breathing inhalation and exhalation take place alternately.

A breath means one inhalation plus one exhalation On an average, an adult human being at rest breathes in and out 15–18 times in a minute. During heavy exercise, the breathing rate can increase upto 25 times per minute. While we exercise, not only do we breathe fast, we also take deep breaths and thus inhale more oxygen

Que. 5) Answer: Breathing rate is defined as the number of times a person breaths per minute.

Case study 4

Normally we take in air through our nostrils. When we inhaleair, it passes through our nostrils into the nasal cavity. From the nasal cavity,the air reaches our lungs through the windpipe. Lungs are present in the chest cavity. This cavity is surrounded by ribs on the sides. A large, muscular sheet called diaphragm forms the floor of the chest cavity. Breathing involves the movement of the diaphragm and the rib cage. During inhalation, ribs move up andoutwards and diaphragm moves down. This movement increases space in ourchest cavity and air rushes into the lungs. The lungs get filled with air. During exhalation, ribs move down and inwards, while diaphragm moves up to its former position. This reduces the size of the chest cavity and air is pushed out of the lungs Smoking damages lungs. Smoking is also linked to cancer. It must be avoided .

Que. 1) From where does we take in air normally?

(c) Nostrils

Que. 2) What is leads to lung cancer?

(a) Smoking

(b) Alcohol

(c) Pollution

(a) Buccal cavity

(b) Chest cavity

Que. 4)During inhalation how does the ribs move?

Que. 5) Who forms the floor of the chest cavity?

Que. 1) (c) Nostrils.

Que. 2) (a) Smoking.

Que. 3) (b) Chest cavity

Que. 4) Answer: During inhalation the ribs move in upwards and outward directions.

Que. 5) Answer: Diaphragm forms the floor of the chest cavity which is a large muscular sheet.

Case study 5

Animals such as elephants, lions, cows, goats, frogs, lizards, snakes, birds, have lungs in their chest cavities like the human beings. Cockroach: A cockroach has small openings on the sides of its body. Other insects also have similar openings. These openings are called spiracles. Insects have a network of air tubes called tracheae for gas exchange. Oxygen rich air rushes through spiracles into the tracheal tubes, diffuses into the body tissue, and reaches every cell of the body.

Similarly, carbon dioxide from the cells goes into the tracheal tubes and moves out through spiracles. These air tubes or tracheae are found only in insects and not in any other group of animals. The skin of an earthworm feels moist and slimy on touching. Gases can easily pass through them. Though frogs have a pair of lungs like human beings, they can also breathe through their skin, which is moist and slippery.

CBSE Class 10 Science Chapter 7 Control and Coordination Notes

According to the CBSE Syllabus 2023-24, this chapter has been renumbered as Chapter 6.

Class 10 Science Notes Chapter 7 Control and Coordination

Introduction.

The human body is a complex machine performing tons of functions and processes to maintain and sustain life. Explore how the body controls its movements and coordinates its actions with other parts of the body and the environment by exploring notes for Class 10 Chapter 7 Control and Coordination.

The Nervous System

Movement in organisms.

The ability of organisms to move certain body parts is movement . When they move from one place to another, it is called locomotion .

Organisms show movements in response to stimuli.

Introduction to Control & Coordination

  • Organisms move in response to various kinds of stimuli like light, heat, nutrients/food, etc.
  • All the activities in animals are controlled and coordinated by the nervous and endocrine systems.
  • Hormones are chemical messengers which assist the nervous system in carrying out various functions. They are secreted by endocrine glands.
  • Hormones in plants coordinate the movements.

For more information on Nervous System, watch the below video

class 10 science ch 7 case study questions

To know more about The Nervous System, visit here .

Nervous system types

Neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system.
  • Each neuron has three main parts: dendrites, cyton/soma/cell body and axon.
  • Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons.
  • Cyton/soma processes the impulse.
  • Axon transmits the impulse, either to another neuron or to muscles/glands, etc.
  • Axon may be myelinated or non-myelinated.
  • The impulse transmission is faster in myelinated neurons .

CBSE Class 10 Science notes Chapter 7 - 1

Central Nervous System

The central nervous system (CNS) is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. The functions of different parts of the brain are:

  • The cerebrum is responsible for reasoning, logic, emotions, speech, memory, visual processing, recognition of auditory and taste stimuli, etc.
  • Cerebellum regulates and coordinates body movements, posture and balance.
  • Pons relays signals from the hindbrain to the forebrain.
  • Medulla Oblongata controls all involuntary movements like vomiting, sneezing, yawning, heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, etc.
  • Medulla oblongata continues as the spinal cord, which runs through the vertebral column and it controls reflex actions.

CBSE Class 10 Science notes Chapter 7 - 2

Read more: Central Nervous System

Peripheral Nervous System

  • The nerves coming out from the brain and the spinal cord constitute the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
  • There are 12 cranial nerves and 31 spinal nerves in humans.

Read more: Peripheral Nervous System

Somatic Nervous System

  • It forms a part of the PNS.
  • The nerves of PNS that control the voluntary actions of the body form the somatic nervous system.

Autonomic Nervous System

  • All the nerves of the PNS that control the involuntary actions in the body form the autonomic nervous system. E.g. respiration, heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, etc., are regulated by the autonomic nervous system.
  • Two divisions of the autonomic nervous system are the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
  • The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity and is often referred to as the fight-or-flight response, while the parasympathetic nervous system has almost the exact opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high-energy functions.

Reflex Action

Reflex action is a sudden, involuntary reaction of the body in response to stimuli.

To know more about Reflex Action, visit here .

  • It is the path followed by an electrical impulse during a reflex action.
  • The impulse travels from the receptor organ to the spinal cord/brain. It is processed there, and the information is brought back to the concerned muscle to carry out the action.
  • Thus, the receptor organ, sensory/afferent neuron, interneuron, motor/efferent neuron and effector organ are the components of a reflex arc.

CBSE Class 10 Science notes Chapter 7 - 3

Protection of CNS

The brain is protected by 3 main layers –

  • The bony skull (cranium)
  • The cerebrospinal fluid
  • The meninges (Dura mater, Arachnoid and Pia mater).

For more information on Brain, watch the below video

class 10 science ch 7 case study questions

Plant Hormones and Movements

Plant hormones.

Control and coordination in plants are carried out by hormones.

To know more about Plant hormones, visit here .

Growth Independent Movements

The movements which are not growth related are called nastic movements. These movements occur in response to environmental stimuli but the direction of response is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus.
  • The movement in the touch-me-not plant is thigmonastic movement (movement in response to touch).

Thigmonasty

Growth-Related Movements in Plants

The movements which are growth related are called tropic movements. These movements occur in response to environmental stimuli and the direction of the response is dependent on the direction of the stimulus.

For more information on Tropic Movements in Plants, watch the below video

class 10 science ch 7 case study questions

To know more about Tropic Movements in Plants, visit here .

  • Phototropic movement (light-dependent)
  • Geotropic movement (gravity-dependent)
  • Chemotropic movement (chemical-dependent)
  • Hydrotropic movement (water-dependent)
  • Thigmotropic movement (touch dependent)
Movement of plant parts in response to earth’s gravitational force is known as geotropism/gravitropism.
  • Towards gravity – positive geotropism
  • Away from gravity – negative geotropism
  • The root grows towards gravity, and the shoot grows away from gravity

Geotropism

Phototropism

Movement of plant parts in response to light is known as phototropism.
  • Towards light-positive phototropism.
  • Away from light – negative phototropism.
  • Stems move towards the light, and roots move away from the light.

To know more about Phototropism, visit here .

Hydrotropism

Movement of plant parts in response to water or moisture.
  • Towards water-positive hydrotropism.
  • Away from water – negative hydrotropism.
  • Again, root movement in search of water is positive hydrotropism.
  • E.g. movement of roots towards high humidity level.

Hydrotropism

Chemotropism

Movement of plant parts in response to chemical stimuli is known as chemotropism.
  • Towards chemical-positive chemotropism.
  • Away from chemical-negative chemotropism.
  • The growth of the pollen tube towards the ovule is positive chemotropism.

Thigmotropism

Movement of plant parts in response to touch is called as thigmotropism.
  • Towards touch – Positive thigmotropism.
  • Away from touch – negative thigmotropism.
  • Movement of tendrils around the support is positive thigmotropism.

THIGMOTROPISM

The Endocrine System

Exocrine glands.

Exocrine glands are glands that discharge secretions by means of  ducts, which open onto an epithelial surface.

Endocrine Glands

Endocrine glands are the ductless glands which secrete hormones into the bloodstream in humans.

The endocrine glands present in the human body are the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pineal, pancreas, ovary (female), testis (male), etc. Let us now learn more about each of the glands below.

The Endocrine System

For more information on Endocrine Glands, watch the below video

class 10 science ch 7 case study questions

To know more about Exocrine glands, visit here .

Pituitary Gland

  • It is a pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain.
  • It is the master gland, as it controls the secretions of all the other endocrine glands.
  • It also secretes Growth Hormone (GH). Under-secretion of GH causes Dwarfism, and over-secretion causes Gigantism in children and ‘Acromegaly’ in adults.

To know more about the Pituitary gland, visit here .

Thyroid Gland

  • It is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the throat.
  • It secretes the hormone ‘Thyroxine’, which regulates the metabolism of the body.
  • Iodine is required to synthesize thyroxine in the body.
  • In the case of iodine deficiency, under-secretion of thyroxine leads to goitre.

To know more about the Thyroid gland, visit here .

  • It is a leaf-like gland present behind the stomach in the abdomen.
  • It is an endocrine as well an exocrine gland.
  • As an endocrine gland, it manufactures two hormones – Insulin and glucagon. Both these hormones act antagonistically and regulate the sugar level in the blood.
  • As an exocrine gland, it secretes enzymes to break down the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids in food.
  • An insufficient amount of insulin from the pancreas leads to diabetes.

To know more about Pancreas, visit here .

Adrenal Gland

  • Occurs in pairs above each kidney.
  • It decreases in size with age.
  • Secrets the hormone adrenaline, which helps in flight and fight response.
  • Also secretes noradrenaline.

To know more about the Adrenal gland, visit here .

  • Gonads are the gamete-producing organs – testes in males and ovaries in females.
  • The testes produce the male hormone testosterone, and the ovaries produce the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone.
  • Testosterone and oestrogen help in producing gametes and are responsible for the sexual characteristics of males and females, respectively.
  • Progesterone is the pregnancy hormone.

To know more about Gonads, visit here .

Other Endocrine Organs

  • The other endocrine organs include the hypothalamus, parathyroid, pineal and thymus glands.
