Question 1
In biophysics, what primary physical mechanism explains why small non-polar molecules like O2 cross cell membranes without transport proteins?
Correct Answer:
Simple diffusion driven by the intracellular and extracellular concentration gradient
Question 2
According to Poiseuille's law for laminar fluid flow through a physiological vessel, if the radius of a blood vessel decreases by 50%, by what factor does the flow resistance increase?
Correct Answer:
16 times
Question 3
In enzyme kinetics described by the Michaelis-Menten model, what does the Michaelis constant (Km) represent?
Correct Answer:
The substrate concentration at which the reaction velocity is half of Vmax
Question 4
How does an uncompetitive enzyme inhibitor affect the kinetic parameters Vmax and Km in a Michaelis-Menten system?
Correct Answer:
It decreases both Vmax and Km by the same multiplicative factor
Question 5
During the propagation of an action potential along an unmyelinated axon, what mechanism accounts for the refractory period behind the nerve impulse?
Correct Answer:
Inactivation of voltage-gated Na+ channels and prolonged opening of voltage-gated K+ channels
