1) Phototropism - The movement which is in response to light stem is positive movement and root is negative movement

Sensory nerve - It takes information from the receptor and transmit it to brain

Motor nerve - It transmit the information for action to be taken from brain to effector organs
- Neuron is a structural and functional unit of human nervous system
It consist of different parts

1) Dendrite -- 

It receives the impulse from the stimulus and transmit further to cell body 

2) Axon-- 

It receives the message from dendrite and transmit further to nerve ending

3) Nerve Ending -- 

It transmits the message from one nerve cell to another nerve cell via synapase 

Que - What happens at synapase between two neurons?

Ans -- Synapase is gap between nerve ending of one neuron and dendrite of other neuron .The electric impulse generated at dendrite of one neuron is passed to dendrite of other neuron in form of chemicals by axon ending of first neuron It ensures nerve pulses travels only in one direction

Que - Name five hormones secreted by plants and their function

Ans Harmones secreted by plants are
