Hello,

Control and Coordination are important processes in living organisms that help them respond to their surroundings.

  • Control refers to the ability of an organism to regulate its body functions, like movement, growth, and response to stimuli.
  • Coordination ensures that different parts of the body work together smoothly.

In animals, control and coordination happen through the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves) and endocrine system (hormones). In plants, it happens through hormones that control growth and responses to light, gravity, etc.

Hope it helps !

Control and coordination are essential processes in living organisms that help maintain harmony between different body functions. Control refers to the regulation of body activities, primarily managed by the nervous and endocrine systems. Coordination ensures smooth interaction between various organs and systems. In animals, the nervous system uses electrical impulses to send signals, while hormones released by endocrine glands regulate long-term processes like growth and metabolism. In plants, coordination occurs through chemical signals like auxins and gibberellins. These mechanisms enable organisms to respond effectively to internal and external changes, ensuring survival, stability, and efficient functioning of the body.
