1

What gives us the ability to respond to what we see, hear, touch, smell and taste. In general it encompasses the processes by which organisms, including both plants and animals, generate and control movement?

Motor Mechanism

2

The primary use of this system is to recognize and identify objects and events that are meaningful in our
daily life.

Sensory System

3

Is a rigid, external covering or framework that provides structural support and protection to the body of an organism.

Exoskeleton

4

A mixed sensory category and includes all sensation received from the skin and mucous membranes, as well as from the limbs and joints.

Somatosensation

5

The most fundamental function of a sensory system is the translation of a sensory signal to an electrical signal in the nervous system.

Transduction

6

The nervous system responds immediately to temperature changes, while the endocrine system contributes to long-term adjustments.

Reception

7

The growth and development of plants in response to light. It allows plants to optimise their use of light and space.

Photomorphogenesis

8

Also known as Statoliths.

Amyloplasts

9

The ability to detect light patterns from the outside environment and interpret them into images.

Vision

10

Plant movement in response to touch or contact with objects.

Thigmotropism

11

It is a type of Photoreceptor protein that contain flavin chromophores.

Cytochromes

12

This mechanism influences processes like seed germination, phototropism, and flowering.

Light Perception

13

It holds about 50 percent of the body's fats, attaches the dermis to the bones and muscles, and supplies nerves and blood vessels to the dermis.

Hypodermis

14

These are also known as the bipolar neurons.

Olfactory neurons

15

How many days are the taste bud’s taste cells replaced?

10-14 days
