10th Control and coordination The organ system in an animal that serves to coordinate and control the functioning  of all other organ systems in the body is known as nervous system. Nervous system works with the endocrine system to communicate, integrate and coordinate the functions of various organs and systems in our body and helps the body to respond to the external stimuli.  In humans, the nervous system has two main divisions: • The central nervous system (CNS) • The peripheral nervous system (PNS) The central nervous system consists of brain and spinal cord. It is regarded as the ‘thinker’ or ‘information processor’ in the body. The peripheral nervous system includes the sensory and motor nerves and connects the central nervous system with the sense organs, muscles and glands of the body. The peripheral nervous system is regarded as ‘actor’ or ‘performer’ in the body. Nerve cell or neuron A neuron is the basic unit of nervous tissue. Ou...

Question:  How does baking powder differ from baking soda? Answer:  Baking soda is a single compound which has sodium hydrogen carbonate which is  alkaline (basic) in nature Baking powder  is a mixture of sodium hydrogencarbonate and a mild edible(eatable) acid such as tartaric acid. When baking powder mixes with water, then the sodium hydrogencarbonate reacts with tartaric acid to evolve carbon dioxide gas which gets trapped in the wet dough and bubbles out slowly making the cake to rise and hence 'soft and spongy'.The equation which takes place can be shown as: NaHCO 3  + H +   ----> Na +  +  CO 2  + H 2 O Question:  What will happen if heating is not controlled while preparing Plaster of Paris from gypsum? Answer:  It may be noted that the temperature should be controlled carefully. It should not be allowed to rise above 152°C (425K) because, if whole of the water is lost then anhydrous calcium sulphate is p...
