Homeostasis and response

The nervous system enables humans to react to their surroundings and to coordinate their behaviour. It comprises millions of neurones and uses electrical impulses to communicate very quickly.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology (single science) students studying the nervous system and how it enables humans to coordinate movement.

The endocrine system secretes hormones into the bloodstream from glands throughout the body. Hormones produce an effect on specific target organs in the body.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology (single science) students studying the human endocrine system and the role hormones play.

Hormones are secreted by glands in the endocrine system. During puberty, hormones create changes in physical and emotional characteristics.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology (single science) students studying the role hormones play in human reproduction.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology (single science) students studying sexual and asexual reproduction in humans, animals and plants.

Homeostasis is the regulation of internal conditions inside cells or organisms, to create the optimum conditions for biological function.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology (single science) students studying homeostasis and how important it is to regulation of the body.

Hormones promote growth within plants. Plant hormones are unequally distributed throughout the stems and roots, which results in parts of the plant growing in a particular direction.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology (single science) students studying hormones and how they promote growth in plants.
