1 (a) (i) P: Receptor organ
Q: Effector organ
(ii) P receives stimulation from the outside and produces nerve impulses through the
sensory neurone to the interneurone. Q produces a response towards the stimuli after
receiving the nerve impulse from the spinal cord.
(b) The response occurs spontaneously and automatically without involving the brain.

Essay Question
(a) • Tropism response is the response of a certain part of the plant in a direction
determined by the stimuli.
The response of a certain part of a plant towards the direction of the stimuli is
known as positive tropism.
The response of a certain part of a plant away from the stimuli is known as
negative tropism.
Four types of tropism response are phototropism, geotropism, hydrotropism,
and thigmotropism.
Phototropism response
The stimulus for this type of response is light.
The plant shoot that bends towards the direction of the light shows positive
phototropism.
The plant root that grows away from the light and shows negative phototropism.
Geotropism response
Gravitational force is the stimuli for this type of response.
The plant shoot grows upwards, therefore showing negative geotropism.
The plant root grows downwards, therefore showing positive geotropism.
Hydrotropism response
A type of plant growth response towards water stimuli.
The root grows towards the water, therefore showing positive hydrotropism.
This type of response helps the plant to obtain sufficient water for growth.
Thigmotropism
This response can be observed on plants with soft stems, which respond towards
touch stimuli.
The clinging tendril or soft stem of plants entwine around objects that are touched,
therefore showing positive thigmostropism.
