Free Coordination and Control MCQs with Answers
1,687 Coordination and Control MCQs from Biology, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.

- B. A=r, B s, C=q, D=t,
- C. A=t, B=p, C=q, D=r
- D. A=t, B=q, C=p, D=s
Explanation: Your cerebral hemisphere plays a key role in memory, intelligence, thinking, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, emotions…
Correct answer: A=t, B=p, C=q, D=r- A. Labor contractions
- B. Body temperature
- C. Insulin production
- D. Thyroxine release
Explanation: A feedback mechanism is a loop system wherein the system responds to a perturbation.
Correct answer: Labor contractions- A. Impulse
- B. Synapse
- C. Axon
- D. Cleft
Explanation: In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another…
Correct answer: Synapse- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation: The correct answer is Option D. Neurotransmitter substances are stored and released at the axon terminals.
Correct answer: Option D- A. The Thalamus is responsible for motor control
- B. The Cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements
- C. The medulla oblongata processes visual information
- D. The Thalamus regulates breathing and heart rate
- E. The cerebellum processes auditory information
Explanation: The correct answer is Option B: The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements.
Correct answer: The Cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
- E. Option E
Explanation: Neurotransmitters called acetylcholine (V) are released, and an action potential (W) is generated.
Correct answer: Option A- A. Move out of the cell by simple diffusion
- B. Move into the cell by simple diffusion
- C. Move out of the cell by facilitated diffusion
- D. Move into the cell by facilitated diffusion
Explanation: As the question mentions, there is a high concentration of sodium ions outside the cell, which means that through sodium leaky channels…
Correct answer: Move into the cell by facilitated diffusion- A. 25cm
- B. Less than 25 cm
- C. More than 25 cm
- D. Infinity
Explanation: The closest distance we can see with our eyes is 25 cm. This is called the least distance of distinct vision, which is the closest…
Correct answer: More than 25 cm- A. Thalamus
- B. Myopic
- C. Both a and b
- D. None of these
Explanation: In the visual system, the thalamus receives input from the retina, which is relayed to the brain via the optic nerve.
Correct answer: Thalamus654. On land, frogs are:
- A. Hypermetric
- B. Cerebral cortex
- C. Normal sighted
- D. None of these
Explanation: Options A and B are terms related to the Central Nervous System. Option C is incorrect because frogs are naturally near-sighted.
Correct answer: None of these- A. Olfactory receptors
- B. Gustatory receptors
- C. Cutaneous receptors
- D. All of these
Explanation: The gustatory system, or sense of taste, is the sensory system that is partially responsible for the perception of taste (flavor).
Correct answer: Gustatory receptors- A. Sensory neurons carry impulses from sensory receptors to the CNS; interneurons relay signals within the CNS; motor neurons transmit impulses from the CNS to muscles or glands
- B. Motor neurons carry sensory impulses to the CNS; interneurons transmit impulses to muscles; sensory neurons relay signals within the CNS
- C. Interneurons carry impulses from effectors to the CNS; sensory neurons transmit impulses from the CNS to interneurons; motor neurons pass signals within the CNS
- D. Sensory neurons transmit impulses from the CNS to effectors; motor neurons carry sensory information to the CNS; interneurons connect sensory to motor neurons outside the CNS
Explanation: Sensory neurons function to carry the sensory information to the CNS. Interneurons transfer impulses from sensory to motor neurons…
Correct answer: Sensory neurons carry impulses from sensory receptors to the CNS; interneurons relay signals within the CNS; motor neurons transmit impulses from the CNS to muscles or glands- A. Class Fish
- B. Class Amphibia
- C. Class Reptilia
- D. Class Mammalia
Explanation: Negative feedback is a type of regulation in biological systems in which the end product of a process, in turn, reduces the stimulus of…
