Which of the following is a false statement?
A. The First Law of Thermodynamics describes energy changes associated with both reversible
and irreversible processes
B. Most processes observed in biological systems are readily reversible in a thermodynamic
sense.
C. The Second Law of Thermodynamics allows us to understand why some processes are
irreversible.
D. The Second Law of Thermodynamics is valid also for open systems. correct answers B. Most
processes observed in biological systems are readily reversible in a thermodynamic sense.

equalize
Conduction of action potentials in nonmyelinated axons is: correct answers slower
Depolarization of T tubule is directly linked to the opening of Ca+ channels on the sarcoplasmic
reticulum of: correct answers skeletal muscle
The neuro muscular synapses exist in: correct answers skeletal muscle
In cardiac muscle cells channels releasing calcium ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum are: correct

, When the RF energy is absorbed by a spin 1/2 nucleus in a magnetic field, what happens? correct
answers The angle of precession "flips" so that the magnetic moment of the nucleus opposes/the
applied field
The name given to the relaxation process due to the return of the magnetic moments to the
thermal equilibrium distribution is: correct answers Spin-Lattice relaxation
The number of possible orientations of nuclei with spin equal to 1/2 is: correct answers 2

protein? correct answers simple diffusion
The propagation of actions potentials is faster in the axons with: correct answers myelin sheath

phosphofluids
In cell membranes, energy for primary active transport comes from: correct answers ATP, light
or other sources that move ions and other solutes.
In order for a neuron to fire it must first: correct answers exceed a given threshold then it will
cause the target neuron to fire an action potential that travels down the axon until it reaches the
synapses, which will cause the release of neurotransmitters.
During depolarization of a nerve cell: correct answers sodium channels open, allowing an influx
of Na+ ions. The cell membrane potential becomes positive. The cell is depolarized.

carry enough energy per quantum to remove an electron from: correct answers the outer shells of
atoms.
