What three hormones control the different stages of the Menstrual Cycle?
Oestrogen, FSH and LH
2 of 24
What is the two function of FSH?
1) To mature an egg. 2) Stimulates the ovaries to produce oestrogen
3 of 24
What part of the body secretes FSH?
It is produced by the pituitary gland
4 of 24
What are the two function of Oestrogen?
1) Stimulates the pituitary gland to produce LH. 2) Inhibits the further releases of FSH
5 of 24
What part of the body secretes oestrogen?
It is produced by the ovaries
6 of 24
What is the function of LH?
1) To release the mature egg
7 of 24
What part of the body secretes LH?
It is produced by the pituitary gland

What ithe function of progesterone?
It maintains the lining of the uterus
9 of 24
What part of the body secretes progesterone
It is produced in the ovary
10 of 24
How can oestrogen be used to stop fertility?
It can be used to prevent the release of an egg by inhibiting the release of FSH; so no eggs mature
11 of 24
What do oral contraceptives contain to prevent egg maturation?
Oestrogen and progesterone
12 of 24
What 3 environmental changes are plants sensitive to?
Light, moisture & gravity
13 of 24
What is auxin?
Auxin is a plant hormone that controls growth
14 of 24
Where is auxin made in a plant?
It is made in the tips of the plants
15 of 24
Where do shoots grow towards?
Grows towards the light (phototropism)
16 of 24
What do shoots grow away from?
Grows against the force of gravity (gravitropism)
17 of 24
What does auxin do in shoots?
It increases the growth in shoots
18 of 24
Where do roots grow towards?
Grows in the direction of the force of gravity (gravitropism) Allow: moisture
19 of 24
What do roots grow away from?
Grow away from light (phototropism)
20 of 24
What shade of the shoot contains more auxins and why?
The shaded side; as it causes the shaded side to grow longer to bend towards the light
21 of 24
What shade of the roots contain more auxins and why?
The shaded side contains less auxins; so this side grows less so it grows away from the light
22 of 24
Why are growth hormones are used to make selective weedkillers?
Selective weeds are made of plant hormones, which only affect broad-leaved plant. They kill the weeds but leave the crops untouch
