Chapter-7 biology Control and Coordination ●All the living organisms respond and react to changes in the environment around them. ●The changes in the environment to which the organisms respond and react are called stimuli such as light,heat,cold,sound,smell,touch etc. ●Both plants and animals are respond to stimuli but in a different manner. Control and Coordination in Animals It is brought about in all animals with the help of two main systems: (a)Nervous system (b)Endocine system Nervous system ◆Control and coordination are provided by nervous and muscular tissues. ◆Nervous tissue is made up of an organized network of nerve cells or neurons ,and is specialized for Conducting information via electrical impulses from one part to the body to another. Receptor: Are specialized tips of some nerve cells that detect the information from the environment .These receptors are located in our sense organs . ◆ Ear:   •Photoreceptors               •Hearing                •Balance of the body ◆ Eye

Chapter-6 Science notes life Processes •All living things perform certain life processes like growth, excretion, respiration, circulation etc. •All the processes like respiration, digestion, which together keep the living organisms alive and perform the job of body maintenance are called life Processes. Example Life Processes -Growth -Digestion -Respiration -Circulation -Excretion I.     Nutrition (The whole process by which an  organism obtain it's food) Nutrition in plants •Plants are autographs. •can make their own food. Nutrition in Animals •Animals are hetrotrophs. •Depends on plants or other animals for their food. Mode of Nutrition Autrotrophic This kind of nutrition in which inorganic material like Co², water etc.are utilised to prepare organic food by the process of photosynthesis. E.g green plants.
