Notes for Control and Coordination
Control and Coordination
Systematic working of the various organs of an organism (plants or animals) producing a proper response to the stimulus is called co-ordination.
Coordination in Plants
Not so elaborate, controlled by phytohormones and external stimulus.
Phytohormones
•   Control and coordination in plants is done by phytohormones.
•   They are naturally occurring chemical substances which control one or other aspect of growth.
•   Auxin – Cell enlargement and differentiation.
•   Gibberellins – In presence of auxin, promotes cell enlargement and differentiation.
•   Cytokinins – Promotes cell division, opening of stomata, etc.
•   Abscisic acid – Closing of stomata, wilting and falling of leaves, etc.
Tropic Movements
•   Directional plant growth movement in response to an external stimulus.
•   Growth of a plant may be towards the stimulus (positive tropism) or away from it (negative tropism).
•   Phototropism – movement in response to light.
•   Chemotropism – in response to chemicals.
•   Hydrotropism – in response to water.
•   Geotropism – in response to gravity.
Nastic Movements
•   Non-directional movement of a plant part in response to an external stimulus.
•   May or may not be a growth movement.
•   All parts of the organ of a plant are affected equally irrespective of the direction of the stimulus.
•   Thigmonasty – Nastic movement in response to touch of an object.
•   Photonasty – Nastic movement in response to light.
Coordination in Animals
Elaborate, very complex and is controlled by neuroendocrine system.
Endocrine (chemical) Coordination
•   Consists of hormones (chemical messengers) regulating biological processes and secreted by endocrine glands.
•   Homeostasis is maintained by hormones by their integrated action and feed back control.
Nervous Coordination
•   Neuron forms the fundamental unit.
•   Sensory neurons in sense organs receive stimulus and transmit impulses to CNS.
•   Motor neurons transmit impulses from CNS to effectors.
•   Relay or connector neurons serve as links between sensory and motor neurons.
Nervous System (Human)
•   CNS – Consists of brain and spinal cord.
      Brain – Controls various voluntary (walking, riding, running, etc.) and involuntary actions (sneezing, coughing, etc). Also controls thinking, reasoning, and intelligence.
      Spinal Cord – Controls reflex action.
•   PNS – Consists of cranial nerves (12 pairs) and spinal nerves (31 pairs).
•   ANS – Two set of nerves (parasympathetic and sympathetic) supplying visceral organs which are antagonistic to each other.

Class 11th science chemistry (thermodynamics)

Thermodynamics deals with the change of energy in physical and chemical processes. It allows us to study these changes quantitatively as well as to make effective predictions. Therefore, we divide the universe as surrounding and system. Physical or chemical processes lead to progression or immersion of heat part of it may be converted to work. According to the first law of thermodynamics , these quantities are related as ∆U = q + w where q is heat and w is work. Change in internal energy is a state function and depends on only the initial and final states. On the other hand, w and q are not state functions. The change in temperature due to the transfer of heat one system to another system can be measured. Heat evolved or absorbed is expressed as q = C∆T. In case of expansion of gas, work is measured as w = –p ex ∆V Enthalpy Change Enthalpy change is defined as the change in energy of a system at constant pressure. It is denoted as ΔH. Enthalpy is a state function. Enthalpy ch...

Class 11th science chemistry (Redox reaction)

Redox reaction is the combination of both oxidation and reduction reactions. When redox reaction takes place, both oxidation and reduction reactions also occur simultaneously. What is a Redox Reaction? Redox is a term used for the oxidation-reduction reaction. Redox reaction is a chemical reaction where a change in the oxidation state of atoms occurs. It involves electron transfer i.e if one chemical species gains electrons, then another chemical species gives or loses electrons. The species from which the electron is lost is said to be oxidized whereas the species to which the electron is added is said to be reduced. Example zinc displaces copper in an aqueous solution called copper sulfate. Redox reactions can be classified into four different categories: Combination reaction Decomposition reaction Displacement reaction Disproportionation reaction Oxidizing And Reducing Agents The role of an oxidizing agent (Oxidant) in a chemical reaction is to gain electrons. ...
