Two different groups of researchers are studying alternative methods of treating Parkinson's disease. Group A found an enzyme that has similar mechanism of action to the female black widow spider venom in the synapse. Group B found a molecule that has similar mechanism of action as curare but for dopamine molecules instead of acetylcholine molecules. You are a member of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and must decide which of the two groups of researchers can obtain the grant for Parkinson's disease research.

Which of the two groups of researchers should receive the grant money? (1 mark) Explain your reasoning by comparing and contrasting the mechanism of actions between the two neurotoxin molecules and dopamine neurotransmitter. (3 marks)

Cochlear implants and hearing aids can be very expensive. In Alberta, the cost of cochlear implants and surgery are covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP). Hearing aids are not covered by AHCIP. Should hearing aids be covered by the government?

To answer this question, select one of the following viewpoints: societal or ethical. Decide whether you are in support of or against public health care coverage of hearing aids. Ensure you have solid reasoning that is backed up with research, not just an opinion. Provide the URL of any websites you have used for research.

(3 marks = 2 marks for the viewpoint and reasoning + 1 mark for citing source(s))

if you are able to help me with this question, that'd be awesome.. i have tried to find it online but nothing came up

The nerve impulses always travel in one direction from dendrites to axon terminals. What prevents an action potential from travelling backward?

Select one:

a. Hyperpolarization of the neuron makes the membrane more positive and prevents another action potential.

b. After repolarization, the reversal of ions prevents another action potential as there would not be enough sodium ions outside the cell to rush in.

c. After repolarization, the refractory period occurs, where the sodium ions are found outside the cell.

d. The refractory period prevents another action potential by lowering the threshold potential. My answer is B but not sure if its correct or not.

When a single photon from a source of light hits the retina in the eye, it triggers a signal that travels along the optic nerve to the occipital lobe of the brain.

The interaction of a photon with the photoreceptors in the retina first causes the movement of sodium ions into a sensory neuron. What happens after the movement of sodium ions?

Select one:

a. Sodium ions move out of a sensory neuron.

b. Potassium ions move into an interneuron.

c. Potassium ions move out of a sensory neuron.

d. Sodium ions move into an interneuron.

my answer is c but not sure if its correct or not

A neuron was isolated from structure number 3 in the diagram above.

When comparing the velocity of action potentials, structure numbered 3 is much slower than that of structure numbered 4.

Which of the following explains why this is?

Select one:

a. Structure number 3 has a larger diameter than structure number 4.

b. Structure number 4 does not have myelin sheaths.

c. Structure number 3 does not have myelin sheaths.

d. Structure number 4 has a larger diameter than structure number 2. I put C for this but again not sure if my answer is correct.

Events in Visual Perception

1.Potassium channels opens, allowing potassium ions to move out. 2.Some sodium channels open in the dendrite.3. All ion channels close and the Na+/K+ exchange pump starts working. 4.Sodium ions diffuse toward the first node of Ranvier in the axon 5.Lights hit the retina. 6The threshold level is reached at the first node of Ranvier in the axon 7. Sodium channels open in the neural membrane of the axon, allowing the remaining sodium ions to move in.

A voltmeter was used to measure the potential difference across the cell membrane of a giant squid axon.

Which of the following best explains the voltmeter reading?

Select one:

a. The sodium ions have rushed into the axon, and the sodium channels are closing.

b. The sodium potassium exchange pumps are working to take out the sodium ions and bring in the potassium ions.

c. The potassium ions have rushed out of the axon, and the potassium channels are slow to shut down.

d. The threshold potential has not been reached.

My answer is C but im not sure if it is correct or not.

Which of the following choices correctly describes the sensory pathway?

Select one:

a. Sensory neuron → brain → motor neuron

b. Sensory receptors → sensory pathway → parietal lobe → motor pathway → muscles

c. Sensory neuron → spinal cord → motor neuron

d. Sensory receptors → sensory pathway → spinal cord → motor pathway → muscles

All of the following statements correctly describe a polarized membrane EXCEPT which?

Select one:

a. An RMP of –60 mV indicates that there are more positive ions inside the axon than an RMP of –70 mV.

b. There is a difference in the charges found on the inside of the membrane to the outside.

c. A resting membrane potential (RMP) of –90 mV indicates the there are more positive ions inside the axon than an RMP of –70 mV.

d. There is a separation of the charge by a membrane, resulting in its ability to do work.

A famous fractal called the Sierpinski Triangle starts with one black triangle. The triangle is then cut into four equal pieces, and the three outer triangles are coloured black and the inner triangle is white. Each of the three black triangles is again divided into four equal triangles, and the three outer triangles are shaded black. a. Suppose the area of the first triangle is 100 cm2. Determine the black shaded area in the second triangle. Do the same for the third triangle. b. Write the general term describing the shaded area of the nth Sierpinski Triangle. c. Suppose the diagram continued on. What total area would be shaded in the first ten Sierpinski Triangles? Round to the nearest whole number. d. Suppose the fractal continued forever. Determine the total area shaded in all the
