Dark-field microscopy utilises:
- A.
Dark law/principle
- B.
Coherent light scattering principle
- C.
Uncoherent light scattering principle
- D.
Light absorbtion principle
Correct Answer
B. Coherent light scattering principleExplanation
Dark-field microscopy utilizes the coherent light scattering principle. In dark-field microscopy, a special condenser is used to direct light at an angle to the sample, causing the light to scatter. This scattered light is then collected by the objective lens, while the direct light is blocked. The scattered light creates a bright image against a dark background, allowing for enhanced visualization of small particles or structures in the sample. Coherent light scattering refers to the scattering of light waves in a way that maintains their phase relationship, resulting in constructive interference and a clear, contrasted image.Rate this question:

Due to light dispersion:
- A.
Red light refracts more than yellow light in material
- B.
Blue light refracts more than yellow light in material
- C.
Yellow light refracts more than blue light in material
- D.
Green light refracts more than orange light in material
Correct Answer
B. Blue light refracts more than yellow light in materialExplanation
When light passes through a material, it bends or refracts due to the change in its speed. This bending of light is different for different colors of light, which is known as dispersion. Blue light has a shorter wavelength than yellow light, and shorter wavelengths tend to refract more than longer wavelengths. Therefore, blue light refracts more than yellow light in a material.Rate this question:

Absolute refractive index is:
- A.
The ratio of light speed in material and in vacuum
- B.
Light refraction angle
- C.
The ratio of light speed in vacuum and material
- D.
The ratio of light speed in material 1 and material 2
Correct Answer
A. The ratio of light speed in material and in vacuumExplanation
The absolute refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a given material to the speed of light in a vacuum. This index determines how much the light is bent or refracted when it passes from one medium to another. It is a fundamental property of a material and is used to calculate the angle of refraction when light travels through different substances.Rate this question:

Na+/K+ pump ion transportation is:
- A.
Passive, because it doesn‘t require energy
- B.
Active, because it uses the cell‘s energy resources
- C.
Passive, because the ions are transported against the concentration gradient
- D.
Active, because charged particles are transported through the membrane
Correct Answer
B. Active, because it uses the cell‘s energy resourcesExplanation
The Na+/K+ pump is considered active because it utilizes the cell's energy resources. This pump actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, against their concentration gradients. This process requires the hydrolysis of ATP to provide the energy needed for the pump to function. Therefore, the Na+/K+ pump is an example of active transport, as it requires energy expenditure by the cell.Rate this question:

How are the electric and diffusive forces affecting K+ directed when the cell is at rest?
- A.
Electric force is directed inwards to the cell, diffusive – outwards
- B.
These forces are not active when the cells is at rest
- C.
When the cell is at rest only the diffusive force is active – directed outwards
- D.
Both these forces are directed inwards
Correct Answer
A. Electric force is directed inwards to the cell, diffusive – outwardsExplanation
When the cell is at rest, the electric force is directed inwards towards the cell, while the diffusive force is directed outwards. This means that the electric force is pulling potassium ions (K+) towards the inside of the cell, while the diffusive force is pushing the potassium ions outwards. These forces are active even when the cell is at rest, and their opposing directions create an equilibrium where the movement of potassium ions is balanced.Rate this question:

Cell action potential is:
- A.
Change in membrane potential when an excitory/stimulatory cell is affected with only electric stimuli
- B.
Change in membrane potential when an excitory/stimulatory cell is affected with over-threshold stimuli
- C.
The membrane potential of an unexcited cell
- D.
Change in membrane potential when a cell is affected with under-threshold stimuli
Correct Answer
B. Change in membrane potential when an excitory/stimulatory cell is affected with over-threshold stimuliExplanation
Cell action potential refers to the change in membrane potential that occurs when an excitatory/stimulatory cell is affected by stimuli that exceed the threshold. This means that the cell is being stimulated with a strong enough signal to trigger an action potential, causing a rapid change in the cell's membrane potential. This change in membrane potential is essential for the transmission of signals within the nervous system and is a fundamental process in the functioning of neurons.Rate this question:

How is repolarisation explained?
- A.
Sodium ions leaving the cell due to the Sodium/Potassium pump
- B.
Sodium ions entering the cells due to sudden membrane permeability to Sodium ions increase
- C.
A decrease in membrane permeability to Potassium ions
- D.
Potassium ions leaving the cell due to increased membrane permeability to Potassium ions
Correct Answer
A. Sodium ions leaving the cell due to the Sodium/Potassium pumpExplanation
During repolarization, the cell returns to its resting state after depolarization. This is achieved by the Sodium/Potassium pump, which actively transports three sodium ions out of the cell in exchange for two potassium ions entering the cell. Therefore, the correct explanation is that repolarization is explained by sodium ions leaving the cell due to the Sodium/Potassium pump.Rate this question:

λ in the electronic stimulus spread equation is:
- A.
Distance at which potential is e (e=2.7) times weaker
- B.
A measurement inverse to the distance at which potential is 2x weaker
- C.
Light wave length
- D.
The distance at which potential disappears
Correct Answer
A. Distance at which potential is e (e=2.7) times weakerExplanation
The correct answer is "distance at which potential is e (e=2.7) times weaker." This means that the value of lambda in the electronic stimulus spread equation represents the distance at which the potential becomes 2.7 times weaker than its initial value.Rate this question:

How does the myelin sheath of an axon affect the speed of the spread of an excitory signal?
- A.
Prevents spread
- B.
Decreases the speed
- C.
Increases the speed
- D.
Does not affect speed
Correct Answer
C. Increases the speedExplanation
The myelin sheath of an axon acts as an insulating layer, covering the axon and allowing for faster transmission of electrical signals. It does this by preventing the leakage of ions and reducing the capacitance of the axon, which results in faster transmission of the signal. Therefore, the myelin sheath increases the speed of the spread of an excitatory signal.Rate this question:
