4. Resting potential is the electrical potential across the membrane of a neuron that is not conducting an impulse. It is used to repolarize (reset) a neuron in between impulses. a. List two ions used in neurons.
b. Define electrical potential
c. State the specific method of membrane transport used to maintain resting potential
d. Explain how a resting potential is maintained, including why it is negative. Sodium ions are pumped out of the neuron By

5. Action potential (AP) is the depolarization and repolarization of the neuron to conduct an electrical impulse. a. Use the following cues to explain how an AP is transmitted along the neuron.
Resting potential Is maintained through...Depolarisation Is trigged by…Which causesVoltage-gated Na+ channels“all or nothing response”K+ channelsRefractory period

6. A synapse is a junction between neurons. This is a small gap between the terminal end of the pre-synaptic neuron and the dendritic end of the post-synaptic neuron. The electrical signal of the action potential is converted to a chemical signal, which passes across the synapse and stimulates an action potential in the post-synaptic neuron. Whew. a.

b. Explain the process of synaptic transmission, referring to all of the labeled structures above. AP reaches terminal end of pre-synaptic neuron This causes voltage-gated Ca2+ channels to open
c. Explain the need for high numbers of mitochondria in the pre-synaptic neuron.
d. Predict the effect of a drug which acts as a competitive inhibitor of a neurotransmitter.

18. The sense of taste is normally caused by the stimulation of chemoreceptors in the taste buds of the tongue. There are four main 'tastes': sweet, salty, bitter and sour. The tongue also has receptors for temperature. It is known that the taste of food can vary according to whether it is cold, warm or hot. Scientists discovered that just warming or cooling parts of the tongue, even when no food was present, also caused a sensation of taste.
Scientists experimented with a group of people. They gradually cooled the tips of their tongues and measured the intensity of the taste felt by each member of the group. The experiment was repeated, this time warming the tip of the tongue. The graphs show the average values for the group.

(a) Identify which taste was felt most strongly when the tip of the tongue was
(i) cooled:
(ii) warmed: (1)
(b) Compare the effects on the taste of sweetness, of warming and cooling the tip of the tongue.
(2)
(c) It is important that such experiments use a population sample that is representative. Suggest two biological criteria the scientists would have used to select the people to be tested.

(d) Explain whether cooling or warming the tip of the tongue has the greater effect on the sensation of taste.

The scientists discovered that there were two types of chemoreceptor in the tongue tip. They called these A and B. They tested these chemoreceptors using solutions of sucrose to find out the type of taste and the intensity felt. The results are shown in the bar chart.

Answers are presented in a logical and concise manner. SI units used most times, with correct
unit symbols and definitions of terms. All mathematical working shown.
Further research NA
Evidence is apparent of research and reading beyond the textbook and presentations to find correct answers to challenging questions. If any questions are unanswered, this criterion scores
zero.
