    The document discusses stimuli and responses in humans, plants, and animals. It covers topics like the parts of the human nervous system, the five senses in humans, tropisms in plants, and types of vision in animals. It provides questions and examples about the mechanisms of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and other stimuli and responses in living things. The importance of these responses for functions like photosynthesis and an animal's survival are also addressed.

    2. (a) What is voluntary action? Give one example of a voluntary action.

    (b) What is involuntary action? Give one example of an involuntary action.

    3. What happens if a person has brain injury?

    of hearing?

    3. Where is the sensory cell for smell located?

    4. State the five tastes that can be detected by the tongue.

    2
    Formative Practice 1.3
    1.3 Stimuli and Responses in Plants

    1. (a) What is tropism?

    (b) State the type of tropism towards the following stimuli:

    (i) Touch:

    (ii) Gravity:

    (iii) Light:

    2. (a) Which parts of a plant show:


    (i) positive phototropism?

    (ii) positive geotropism?

    (iii) positive thigmotropism?

    (b) What is the importance of hydrotropism to plants?

    3. State one similarity and one difference between the responses of tropism
    and nastic movement.

    Formative Practice 1.4
    1.4 Importance of Responses to Stimuli in Animals

    5. In the dark, Azman can determine the location of a mewing cat. Explain
    how Azman is able to determine the location of the cat.

    Summative Practice 1
    Answer the following questions:

    1. Mark ‘√’ the correct statement and ‘X’ the incorrect statement about the
    human nervous system.

    a) The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves


    connecting the brain with the spinal cord.
    b) Without a functioning brain, voluntary actions cannot be carried
    out.
    c) Playing badminton is an involuntary action.

    d) Impulses can only be interpreted by the brain.

    2. Figure 1 shows structures P, Q and R of the human nervous system.

    P:

    Q: R:

    Label P, Q and R in Figure 1.

    5
    3. Figure 2 shows responses A and B of the eye.

    (a) State the responses shown in Figure 2.

    (b) State the stimuli that cause these responses.

    (c) How do the stimuli cause these responses?

    (d) These responses protect the eye especially the retina by preventing light
    of excessive intensity from entering the eye. During the solar eclipse,
    explain why we should observe this event on the water surface in a basin
    of water.

    4. In a science class, Azura studies the mechanisms of hearing and sight.

    sound entering the ear.

    (b) Explain why the fingertip and not the palm of the hand is used to detect Braille
    symbols.

    (c) Mazlan classifies the tongue as skin that possesses taste receptors. Do you
    agree with the classification of the tongue as skin? Explain your answer.

    7
    6. (a) What is the importance of the sense of smell when we are in the
    science laboratory? Give one example.

    (b) Why are dogs in police units trained to detect the presence of drugs kept in
    bags?
