NEET Zoology Neural Control and Coordination Questions Solved

When we move from dark to light, we fail to see for some time but soon visibility becomes normal. It is:
1. Accommodation
2. Photoperiodism
3. Adaptation
4. Mutation

Q2:

(3) The rod cells of eye contain a purplish pigment called visual purple, or rhodopsin. They function in dim light and at night. Bright light splits rhodopsin into a lipoprotein scotopsin and a carotenoid pigment retinene. The splitting of rhodopsin depolarizes the rod cell. In the dark, rhodopsin is resynthesized from scotopsin and retinene. This process is called “dark adaptation.” It makes the rods functional. It takes some time for rhodopsin to be reformed.

The resting membrane potential is established primarily due to:
1. Sodium-potassium pump
2. Efflux of potassium
3. Influx of sodium
4. Influx of chloride

Q10:

Audio Explanation:

(2) The resting membrane potential is near the Nernst potential of potassium. Sodium potassium pump is a minor contributor to the value of the resting membrane potential.
