Hormones are produced in one part of a plant and transported to others‚ where they are effective in very small amounts. Depending on the target tissue‚ a given hormone may have different effects. Plant hormones play an integral role in controlling the growth and development of plants. A plant hormone is generally described as an organic compound synthesized

I will identify the hormones and glands as well as describe the endocrine system. Heredity‚ and hormones‚ can affect behavior. Human behavior starts as thought processes in the brain. The different roles are that hormones can change our behaviors if they become imbalanced. Hormones are secreted by glands‚ which are controlled by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus

Heredity and Hormones Human behavior is influenced by heredity and hormones. There are many parts to this‚ such as the endocrine system‚ glands that secrete hormones‚ genetics‚ behavior genetics‚ and evolutionary psychology. The following is a closer look at the endocrine system and hormones. The endocrine system works in conjunction with the nervous system using what is termed “chemical conversation.” The endocrine glands release substances referred to as hormones that are
