(iv) Abscisic acid
18. Pea plants climb up other plants by means of: (Choose the correct option)
(i) Axillary buds
(ii) Tendrils
(iii) Stipules
(iv) Thorns
19. The gap between neurons is called: (Choose the correct option)
(i) Dendrite
(ii) Synapse
(iii) Axon
(iv) Myelin sheath
20. Which of the following is the male sex hormone: (Choose the correct option)
(i) Oestrogen
(ii) Testosterone
(iii) Testes
(iv) Insulin
21. Taste is detected by gustatory receptors. (True/False)
22. Smell is detected by olfactory receptors. (True/False)
23. Goitre is caused due to the deficiency of thyroxine. (True/False)
24. Growth of our arms and fingers occurs in a haphazard manner. (True/False)
25. Movement of sunflower in response to day or night comes under the category of slow
movements. (True/False)
26. Assertion: Abscisic acid is responsible for wilting of leaves.
Reason: It is a growth inhibitor.
27. Assertion: In 'Touch me Not' plant, drooping of leaves occur on touching it.
Reason: Plant cells change their shape by changing the amount of water (turgor
changes) in them.
28. Assertion: Positive phototropism means movement towards light.
Reason: When sunlight falls on one side of plant, the auxin diffuses towards the sunny
side of shoot. Auxin concentration stimulates cells to grow longer and stem appears
bending towards sunlight.
29. Assertion: A neurons transmits message in both directions.
Reason: The response is slow and produced by all cells of target tissues.
30. Assertion: Brain plays a secondary role in reflex action, when our hand touches a hot
plate. Reason: In reflex action, the stimulus received by the spinal cord that sends the
response. The action is registered in cerebral brain just for memory.
