Which of the following statements is false about cones?
(1) The daylight vision and colour vision are function of cones
(2) In human eye, there are three types of cones having characteristic photopigments that respond to red, green and blue light
(3) The sensations of different colours are produced by various combination of these 3 types of cones
(4) When these 3 types of cones are stimulated equally, a sensation of white light is produced.
Read the following statements and identify the correct options.
Na+ – K+ pump
(1) Needs energy (ATP) to work
(2) Expels 3 Na+ for every 2K+ ions imported
(3) Works against a concentration gradient
(4) Maintains resting potential

Study the diagram of synapse –
I. Which numbered label indicate the location of the receptor molecules?
II. Which number points to a synaptic vesicles?
III. Which number point to neurotransmitter?
IV. Which number points to synaptic cleft?
The accompanying diagram show the structure of neuron. Identify A to E.
The figure shows an axon terminal and synapse. Select the option giving correct identifications of tables A-D
-
Solution
In the given figure, A, B, C and D are axon, neurotransmitters, receptors and synaptic vesicles respectively.
A sagittal section of human-brain is shown here. Identify at least two labels from A-D.
-
Solution
Cerebrum is the first and most developed part of fore brain. It makes 2/3 part of total brain. Pons is a small spherical projection, which is situated below the mid brain and up-per side of the medulla oblongata. It acts as a relay centre among different parts of brain. B and D are thalamus and spinal cord respectively.
A diagram showing axon terminal and synapse is given. Identify correctly at least two of A-D.
-
Solution
A-Receptor, C-Synaptic vesicles B is synaptic cleft. A synapse is formed by the membranes of a synaptic neuron and post synaptic neuron, which may or may not separated by a gap called synaptic cleft. It is filled by fluid called neurotransmitter which are involved intransmission of impulse at these synapses.
The most abundant intracellular cation is :
-
Solution
The most abundant intracellular cation is K+.
