Deuterosomes show patterns of what type of cleavage
- A.
Radial
- B.
Spiral
- C.
Helix
Correct Answer
A. RadialExplanation
Deuterostomes show patterns of radial cleavage. Radial cleavage is a type of embryonic development where the cells divide in a pattern that is perpendicular or at right angles to the polar axis of the embryo. This results in cells being stacked directly on top of each other. This type of cleavage is characteristic of deuterostomes, which include animals such as echinoderms (like starfish) and chordates (like humans). In contrast, spiral cleavage is seen in protostomes, where the cell divisions are diagonal to the polar axis, and helical cleavage is a rare type of cleavage that is not commonly observed in animal development.Rate this question:

What type of synapses are the vast majority of synapses in vertebrate?
- A.
Chemical
- B.
Electrical
- C.
Neurological
- D.
Synaptic cleft
Correct Answer
A. ChemicalExplanation
The vast majority of synapses in vertebrates are chemical synapses. Chemical synapses involve the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, allowing for the transmission of signals between neurons. This type of synapse is the most common and important mechanism for communication between neurons in the vertebrate nervous system. Electrical synapses, on the other hand, involve direct electrical coupling between neurons, but they are relatively rare compared to chemical synapses. Neurological and synaptic cleft are not types of synapses.Rate this question:

- D.
Dendrites, axon, cell body
Correct Answer
D. Dendrites, axon, cell bodyExplanation
Nerve impulses travel along the long cellular extension of the neuron called the dendrites, axon, and cell body. The dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. The cell body processes the incoming signals and generates an electrical impulse. This impulse then travels along the axon, a long fiber-like structure, to transmit the signal to other neurons or target cells. Therefore, the correct answer is dendrites, axon, cell body.Rate this question:

_______ is an impulse in a neuron taking the form of a wave of depolarization or hyperpolarization imposed on a polarized cell surface.
Correct Answer
graded potential
transduction
action potential
ChordataExplanation
The correct answer is action potential. An action potential is an electrical impulse that travels along the surface of a polarized cell, causing depolarization or hyperpolarization. It is a rapid and brief change in the cell's membrane potential, which allows for the transmission of signals in the nervous system. Graded potentials, on the other hand, are small changes in membrane potential that can either be depolarizing or hyperpolarizing, but they do not propagate like action potentials. Transduction refers to the conversion of one form of energy into another, and Chordata is a phylum of animals that includes vertebrates.Rate this question:

_____ produce myelin in the PNS.
Correct Answer
oligodendrocytes
Schwann cells
salutatory conductionExplanation
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells are the two types of cells that produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Oligodendrocytes are responsible for producing myelin in the central nervous system (CNS), while Schwann cells produce myelin in the PNS. Myelin is a fatty substance that wraps around nerve fibers, acting as an insulator and increasing the speed of electrical signals. Salutatory conduction refers to the rapid jumping of the electrical signal from one node of Ranvier to another, facilitated by the presence of myelin. Therefore, all three options - oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, and salutatory conduction - are related to the production and function of myelin in the PNS.Rate this question:

What developes first in the chordata phylm ?
- A.
Mouth
- B.
Anus
Correct Answer
B. AnusExplanation
In chordates, the anus develops first. Chordates are characterized by the presence of a notochord, a hollow nerve cord, and pharyngeal slits. During embryonic development, the anus forms before the mouth. This is because the blastopore, which is the opening of the developing digestive system, eventually becomes the anus. The mouth, on the other hand, develops from a separate opening called the stomodeum. Therefore, in chordates, the anus is the first opening to form in the digestive system.Rate this question:

The membrane of a resting neuron is much more permeable to what ion?
- A.
Potassium
- B.
Sodium
- C.
Floride
- D.

Correct Answer
A. PotassiumExplanation
The resting membrane potential of a neuron is primarily determined by the permeability of the membrane to different ions. In a resting neuron, the membrane is more permeable to potassium ions compared to other ions such as sodium, fluoride, or iodine. This is because the neuron has a higher number of potassium channels that are open, allowing potassium ions to move more freely across the membrane. As a result, potassium ions play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining the resting membrane potential of a neuron.Rate this question:

What uses metabolism to generate body heat and maintain temperatures above ambient temperatures?
- A.
Homeotherms
- B.
Heterotherms
- C.
Ectotherms
- D.
Poikilotherms
- E.
Endotherms
Correct Answer
E. EndothermsExplanation
Endotherms use metabolism to generate body heat and maintain temperatures above ambient temperatures. Unlike ectotherms, which rely on external sources of heat, endotherms can regulate their body temperature internally. This is achieved through the metabolic process, which involves the production of heat as a byproduct. Endotherms have a higher metabolic rate compared to ectotherms, allowing them to generate and maintain their own body heat, regardless of the surrounding temperature. This adaptation enables endotherms to thrive in a wide range of environments and climates.Rate this question:

What provides homeostasis for the organisms?
- A.
Positive feedback
- B.
Internal factors
- C.
Negative feedback
- D.
Nervous tissues
Correct Answer
C. Negative feedbackExplanation
Negative feedback provides homeostasis for organisms by counteracting any changes or imbalances in the internal environment. When a deviation from the set point occurs, negative feedback mechanisms work to bring the system back to its normal state. This is achieved by detecting the change and initiating responses that oppose or reverse the deviation. For example, if body temperature rises above the set point, negative feedback mechanisms will trigger responses such as sweating and vasodilation to cool the body down and restore the normal temperature.Rate this question:

What changes in membrane potential?
- A.
Graded potential
- B.
Action potential
Correct Answer
A. Graded potentialExplanation
Graded potentials refer to changes in the membrane potential that vary in amplitude and can either be depolarizing or hyperpolarizing. These changes are caused by the opening or closing of ion channels in response to stimuli. On the other hand, action potentials are brief, rapid, and uniform electrical impulses that occur when a certain threshold is reached in the membrane potential. They are characterized by depolarization followed by repolarization and are essential for transmitting signals along neurons.Rate this question:
