Class 10 Science - Chapter 6: Control and
Coordination
Student-Friendly Notes (Part 5)
Chapter Summary
Control and coordination enable organisms to detect stimuli, process information and respond
appropriately. Animals use the nervous and endocrine systems, while plants mainly depend on
hormones. Exam Tip: Focus on NCERT definitions, diagrams and examples.
