Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Smita mehta answered
When we touch any hot object without knowing it is hot, we immediately throughout the object to safe our hand from burning. We have a sensory nerve in our brain to detect the heat. The nerves that are connected to the muscles of the hand are also connected with the sensory nerves. This connection of detecting the signal from the nerves to the muscles for immediate action is called Reflex Arc. 
Instant and automatic responses are possible by Reflex Arc. The connection between input and output nerves are connected by Reflex Arc and meets in a bundle in the spinal chord. All the nerves on their way to brain meet in a bundle in the spinal chord to send the information to the brain.

EduRev Class 10 answered
Reflex activities are automatic responses to stimuli that are primarily controlled by the spinal cord, allowing for quick reactions without involving the brain. The brain is responsible for voluntary actions and higher cognitive functions, while the cerebrum and cerebellum handle functions related to movement, balance, and complex thought processes. Reflex actions bypass the brain to save time, which is why the spinal cord is the correct answer.

Apoorv kapoor answered
Understanding Thyroxin
Thyroxin, also known as T4, is a crucial hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It plays a significant role in regulating various metabolic processes in the body. Let's clarify the statements provided regarding thyroxin.
Correct Statements about Thyroxin
  • Thyroid Gland and Iodine: The thyroid gland requires iodine to synthesize thyroxin. Iodine is an essential element that combines with the amino acid tyrosine to produce thyroid hormones.
  • Thyroxin as Thyroid Hormone: Thyroxin is indeed called a thyroid hormone. It is one of the primary hormones secreted by the thyroid gland, the other being triiodothyronine (T3).
  • Metabolic Regulation: Thyroxin regulates protein, carbohydrates, and fat metabolism in the body. It influences how the body uses energy, affecting growth and metabolism.

Incorrect Statement about Thyroxin
  • Iron's Role: The statement that iron is essential for the synthesis of thyroxin is incorrect. While iron is vital for many physiological processes, including the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells, it is not required for the synthesis of thyroxin. The key elements for thyroxin production are iodine and the amino acid tyrosine.

Conclusion
In summary, while iodine is crucial for thyroxin synthesis and it plays a significant role in metabolism, iron does not have a direct function in the production of this important hormone. Understanding these distinctions is essential for recognizing how thyroid function affects overall health.

Shreya shukla answered
Understanding Effectors
Effectors play a crucial role in the nervous system's communication and response mechanisms.
What are Effectors?
- Effectors are parts of the body that respond to signals sent by the nervous system.
- They can be muscles or glands that perform actions or secrete substances.
Role of Effectors in the Nervous System
- The nervous system transmits signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS).
- After processing the information, the CNS sends out instructions to effectors to elicit a response.
- This could involve muscle contraction (movement) or gland secretion (hormonal response).
Examples of Effectors
- Muscles: These are the primary effectors that cause movement. For example, when you touch something hot, your hand reflexively pulls away due to muscle contraction.
- Glands: These can secrete hormones or other substances in reaction to stimuli. An example is the adrenal glands releasing adrenaline during stress.
Conclusion
In summary, option 'B', Effectors, are essential components that carry out the commands of the nervous system, enabling the body to react appropriately to various stimuli. Their function is vital for maintaining homeostasis and facilitating interaction with the environment.

Assertion (A): The movement of tendrils around objects is due to differential growth rates in the part of the tendril that is away from the object.
Reason (R): Tendrils exhibit positive geotropism as they grow towards the ground.
  • a)
    If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  • b)
    If Assertion is true but Reason is false
  • c)
    If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  • d)
    If both Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kamna Science Academy answered
b) If Assertion is true but Reason is false
Explanation:
  1. Assertion (A):
    • Statement: "The movement of tendrils around objects is due to differential growth rates in the part of the tendril that is away from the object."
    • Explanation: When a tendril comes in contact with an object, it triggers a response known as thigmotropism (growth in response to touch). The cells on the side of the tendril away from the object elongate faster than those in contact, causing the tendril to bend and eventually coil around the support.
    • Conclusion: True.
  2. Reason (R):
    • Statement: "Tendrils exhibit positive geotropism as they grow towards the ground."
    • Explanation: Geotropism is the directional growth of plants in response to gravity. Positive geotropism means growing towards the gravitational pull (downward), while negative geotropism means growing away from it (upward). Tendrils, in their climbing behavior, exhibit negative geotropism (they grow upward) to reach supports and optimize light exposure. Their coiling is triggered by touch (thigmotropism), not by gravity.
    • Conclusion: False.
Since the Assertion is true and the Reason is false, the correct answer is:
b) If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

  • c)
    Special Cells in Pancreas - Reduce Insulin production when blood sugar levels rise
  • d)
    Special Cells in Pancreas - Increase Glucagon production when blood sugar levels fall
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Surbhi Gupta answered
Understanding the Role of the Pancreas
The pancreas is a vital organ involved in regulating blood sugar levels through the production of hormones such as insulin and glucagon.
Insulin Production
- Response to High Blood Sugar: The pancreas produces insulin when blood sugar levels rise, such as after eating a meal.
- Function of Insulin: Insulin facilitates the uptake of glucose by cells, promoting its use for energy or storage as glycogen in the liver and muscles.
Glucagon Production
- Response to Low Blood Sugar: In contrast to insulin, glucagon is produced when blood sugar levels fall.
- Function of Glucagon: It triggers the liver to release stored glucose, raising blood sugar levels back to normal.
Specialized Cells in the Pancreas
- Alpha and Beta Cells: The pancreas contains specialized cells known as alpha cells (which produce glucagon) and beta cells (which produce insulin).
- Regulatory Mechanism: When blood sugar levels are high, insulin production increases, while glucagon production decreases, and vice versa when blood sugar is low.
Conclusion
Thus, option 'B' is correct because the pancreas indeed produces insulin in response to high blood sugar levels, playing a crucial role in maintaining glucose homeostasis in the body. This balanced regulation is essential for overall health and metabolic function.

The pancreas increases insulin production when blood sugar levels _____.
  • a)
    fall
  • b)
    rise
  • c)
    remain constant
  • d)
    fluctuate frequently
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Varsha jain answered
Understanding Insulin Production in the Pancreas
The pancreas plays a crucial role in maintaining blood sugar levels through the secretion of insulin. This hormone is essential for the regulation of glucose in the bloodstream.
When Blood Sugar Levels Rise
- Insulin Release: The pancreas increases insulin production when blood sugar levels rise, particularly after eating carbohydrates.
- Glucose Uptake: Insulin facilitates the uptake of glucose by cells, allowing them to use it for energy.
- Storage of Excess Glucose: Insulin also promotes the storage of excess glucose in the liver and muscles as glycogen, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
Consequences of High Blood Sugar
- Hyperglycemia: Persistently high blood sugar can lead to conditions like diabetes. Insulin helps to prevent this by normalizing glucose levels.
- Feedback Mechanism: The body uses a feedback loop; when blood sugar rises, insulin is secreted, and when it falls, insulin production decreases.
Summary
In summary, the correct answer is that the pancreas increases insulin production when blood sugar levels rise. This process is vital for maintaining homeostasis and ensuring that our bodies function effectively. Understanding this mechanism is essential for recognizing how diet and lifestyle choices can impact overall health.

  • b)
    It helps in the upward movement of water.
  • c)
    It controls the bending of plants towards light.
  • d)
    It regulates the fruit's response to gravity.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashwini das answered
Role of Auxin in Plants
Auxin is a vital plant hormone that plays a crucial role in various growth and developmental processes. Among its many functions, one of the most significant is its involvement in the bending of plants toward light, a phenomenon known as phototropism.
Phototropism: Bending Towards Light
- Auxin accumulates on the shaded side of a plant stem when light is coming from one direction.
- This uneven distribution of auxin causes the cells on the shaded side to elongate more than those on the light-exposed side.
- As a result, the plant bends toward the light source, allowing it to maximize photosynthesis by accessing more light.
Other Functions of Auxin
While option 'C' is correct, it's essential to understand that auxin has other vital roles:
- Fruit Development: Auxin promotes the growth and development of fruits, but this is not its primary role in bending towards light.
- Water Movement: Auxin does not directly help in the upward movement of water; this is primarily the function of other mechanisms like transpiration and root pressure.
- Gravitropism: Auxin also plays a role in how plants respond to gravity (gravitropism), but this is different from its role in light response.
Conclusion
In summary, auxin is primarily responsible for the bending of plants toward light by regulating cell elongation. This adaptation enhances a plant's ability to absorb sunlight, which is crucial for its growth and survival. Understanding auxin's functions is essential in botany, as it highlights how plants interact with their environment.

Which mechanism helps regulate hormone secretion in response to changes in the body's internal environment?
  • a)
    Homeostasis
  • b)
    Feedback systems
  • c)
    Enzyme activity
  • d)
    Neural impulses
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kamna Science Academy answered
  • Feedback systems are essential for regulating hormone secretion, ensuring that hormones are released in the precise amounts needed for proper bodily function.
  • These systems react to fluctuations in the body's internal environment, such as blood sugar levels.
  • For example, when blood sugar rises, the pancreas increases insulin production, and when levels drop, insulin secretion is decreased.
  • This dynamic regulation helps maintain homeostasis, which is the body's state of stable internal conditions.
  • An interesting fact is that the feedback mechanism can be classified as either negative or positive, with negative feedback being the most common in hormonal regulation, as it opposes changes to maintain balance.

  • a)
    Phototropism
  • b)
    Geotropism
  • c)
    Rapid leaf folding in sensitive plants
  • d)
    Hydrotropism
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kamna Science Academy answered
  • The type of movement that occurs in plants and is independent of growth is exemplified by the rapid leaf folding in sensitive plants, often referred to as the "Touch-me-not" plant.
  • This movement is an immediate response to stimuli, specifically touch, and does not involve growth processes.
  • Interestingly, while animals use a nervous system to respond to stimuli, plants rely on electrical-chemical signals and changes in cell water content to facilitate such movements.
  • This unique mechanism showcases the adaptability of plants in interacting with their environment.

Arjun Singh answered
Understanding Gibberellin
Gibberellins are a group of plant hormones that play a crucial role in various growth processes. Their primary function is significantly related to stem growth.
Key Functions of Gibberellins:
- Stimulating Stem Elongation: Gibberellins promote cell elongation, particularly in stems, leading to increased height and overall growth of the plant. This process is essential for plants to reach light and optimize photosynthesis.
- Promoting Cell Division: While gibberellins do influence cell division, their primary role centers on elongation rather than dividing cells. This is why their effect is more pronounced in stems.
- Enhancing Germination: Gibberellins play a pivotal role in seed germination. They break dormancy and initiate the growth process by stimulating enzymes that mobilize stored food in seeds.
- Influencing Flowering: Some gibberellins can also affect flowering processes, particularly in certain plants that require specific conditions to bloom.
In Summary:
Gibberellins are primarily involved in:
- Promoting stem growth and elongation, allowing plants to achieve greater heights.
- Supporting other growth processes, but their most notable function is in enhancing stem development.
Thus, option 'D'—assisting stem growth—accurately describes the primary function of gibberellins in plants, distinguishing them from other growth hormones that may inhibit growth or focus on root development.

Sanaya sharma answered
Involuntary Actions Controlled by the Medulla
The medulla oblongata is a crucial part of the hindbrain, responsible for regulating several vital involuntary actions essential for survival.
Regulation of Respiration
- The medulla plays a key role in controlling the rhythm and rate of breathing.
- It contains respiratory centers that send signals to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, facilitating inhalation and exhalation.
- It responds to changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the blood, ensuring the body's respiratory needs are met.
Other Functions of the Medulla
- While respiration is a primary function, the medulla also regulates:
- Heart rate: It influences cardiac function by controlling the autonomic nervous system.
- Blood pressure: It helps in maintaining blood pressure through vasomotor control.
- Reflex actions: The medulla is involved in reflexes such as coughing, sneezing, and swallowing.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect
- Control of Posture and Balance: This function is primarily managed by the cerebellum, which coordinates muscle movements and maintains balance.
- Precision of Voluntary Actions: The motor cortex and basal ganglia are responsible for the precision and coordination of voluntary movements, not the medulla.
- Reflex Movements of Head, Neck, and Trunk: While the medulla does play a role in some reflex actions, it is not the primary center for all reflex movements of the head, neck, and trunk, which involve different neural pathways.
Conclusion
In summary, the medulla oblongata’s primary involuntary action is the regulation of respiration, making option 'A' the correct answer. Its role in maintaining vital functions is essential for life.
