1. reproductive 2. hormones 3. uterus 4. shed
16 of 31
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) - secreted by the 1. _________ _____, causes an egg to 2.______ in the ovary and 3._________ the production of 4._______
1. pituitary gland 2. mature 3. stimulates 4. oestrogen
17 of 31
Oestrogen - porduced by the 1._______, stops the production of 2.___ and stimulates the production of 3.__
1. ovaries 2.FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) 3. LH (Luteinising Hormone)
18 of 31
LH (Luteinising Hormone) - produced by the 1._________ _____, 2.________ the release of the egg from the ovary and stops the production of 3._______
1. pituitary gland 2. triggers 3. oestrogen
19 of 31
Why do oral contraceptives only contain small amounts of oestrogen or only progesterone now?
because large amounts of oestrogen cause side effects such as changes in weight, mood and blood pressure.
20 of 31
FSH and LH are used as ________ _____ in women who don't produce enough FSH for their eggs to mature.
fertility drugs
21 of 31
IVF (In vitro fertilisation) is when the egg is _________ outside of the body if the man's sperm is poor quality or there is not enough. FSH is given to increase the numer of eggs avaliable for fertilisation.
fertilised
22 of 31
Plants produce hormones and respond to external ______.
stimuli
23 of 31
A _______ is a growth in response to a stimulus.
tropism
24 of 31
An _____ is a plant hormone produced in the stem tips and roots
auxin
25 of 31
What is a positive tropism?
When the plant grows towards the stimulus.
26 of 31
What is a negative tropism?
When the plant grows away from the stimulus.
27 of 31
The shoot of a plant grows 1._______ light for photosynthesis because 2.____ gathers on the shaded side of the stem. 2._____ makes the shoot grow more so the shoot grows more on the shaded side and so bends 1.______ the light.
1. towards 2.auxin
28 of 31
How do shoots grow in reponse to gravity?
Up because the auxin gathers on the bottom side of the shoot and that side gows more, bending the shoot upwards.
29 of 31
How do roots grow in reponse to gravity?
Down because the auxin gathers on the bottom side of the root and that side gows less, bending the root downwards.
30 of 31
Why are plant hormones used as rooting powder and weed killer?
because they cause weeds to grow too quickly and die and cause stem cutting to quickly develop roots.
