Answer

(i)
Nervous mechanisinHormonal mechanism
Transmits information through electrital impulses.Transmits infornation through blood cells.
Affects only a particular part of the body.Affect different organs of the body
Signal transmission is fastSignal transmission is slow
(ii). When light is coming from one side of the plant, auxin diffuses towards the shaded side of the shoot. This concentration of auxin stimulates the cells to grow longer on the side of the shoot which is away from light. Thus, the plant appears to bend towards the light.

A unicellular animal P having no fixed shape ingests a food particle by forming temporary finger-like projections Q. The food particle is engulfed with a little surrounding water to form a temporary stomach R inside it. The chemicals S from surrounding cytoplasm enter into R and break down food into small and soluble molecules by chemical reactions. The digested food is absorbed directly into cytoplasm by the process T. The undigested food is thrown out of the body by the rupture of a cell organelle U in a process called V.
