Control and coordination in living organisms involve regulating body activities through nervous and hormonal systems. The nervous system uses electrical impulses for quick responses, while hormones act slowly through chemical messengers. Together, they help organisms respond to stimuli, maintain balance, growth, movement, and proper functioning.
Plants show sensitivity by detecting light, gravity, water, and touch, responding through slow growth movements and chemical coordination controlled by plant hormones within cells.
Plant hormones coordinate growth and responses to stimuli by controlling cell division, elongation, and differentiation.
Animal hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction, and responses by acting as chemical messengers in the body.
The nervous system controls rapid responses by transmitting electrical impulses for coordination in animals.
The nervous system coordinates rapid responses in animals through electrical impulses and signals.
