Definition	Keyword	% Correct

A directional growth response to light	Phototropism	82%
Region of the brain dealing with the higher functions such as conscious thought; it is divided into two cerebral hemispheres	Cerebrum	64%
Region of the brain coordinating balance and fine control of movement	Cerebellum	55%
Plant hormones which are responsible for regulating plant growth	Auxins	45%
Muscle found in the heart walls	Cardiac muscle	45%
Plant hormones which are responsible for control of stem elongation and seed germination	Gibberellins	45%
A directional growth response in which the direction of the response is determined by the direction of the external stimulus	Tropism	45%
The central part of the nervous system composed of the brain and spinal cord	Central nervous system	36%
The part of the brain that controls physiological processes	Medulla oblongata	36%
Any chemical substance released by one living thing, which influences the behaviour or physiology of another living thing	Pheromone	36%
Endocrine gland at the base of the brain, below but attached to the hypothalamus; the anterior lobe secretes many hormones; the posterior lobe stores and releases hormones made in the hypothalamus	Pituitary gland	36%
Muscle under voluntary control	Skeletal muscle	36%
The structure at which a nerve meets the muscle; it is similar in action to a synapse	Neuromuscular junction	27%
