Long Answers

Que What are different tropic movements?

Ans Tropic movements are directional movements which either towards or away from stimulus

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

2) Geotropism - The movement which is in response to gravity movement of stem is negative and movement of root is positive

3) Hydrotropism - The movement in response to water , stem negative

4) Chemotropism - The growth of pollen tubes towards ovules

Que - What is the difference between sensory nerve and the motor nerve

Ans - The difference between sensory nerve and motor nerve is as follows

- 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
