    SCHOOL OF BANGKOK
    Second Quarter Biology Test Grade: 12

    Name:

    Instructions: 1) Read the questions carefully.


    Total Score:
    Time: 1 hr.. / 40

    2) Answer all the questions.


    3) Show all of your working in the answer sheet.

    Section A - Multiple-Choice Questions

    1) What does the peripheral nervous system consist of?

    A) the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord

    B) the spinal cord only

    C) the brain and nerves

    D) the brain and spinal cord [2]


    2) Where are receptor proteins found at a synapse, and what shape do they have?

    A) on the cell membrane of the second neurone, complementary shape to the

    neurotransmitter molecules

    B) in the vesicles in the first neurone, complementary shape to the

    neurotransmitter molecules

    C) on the cell membrane of the first neurone, same shape as the neurotransmitter

    molecules

    D) in the synaptic gap, same shape as the neurotransmitter molecules


    [2]
    3) What part of the neuron carries impulses away from cell body and

    towards other neurons, muscles, or glands?


    A. synapse

    B. dendrites

    C. axon

    D. interneuron (relay neuron) [2]


    4) Which of the following statements accurately describes the functions of

    the nervous system?

    A. It breaks down food and absorbs nutrients. Additionally, it produces waste

    products that must be eliminated from the body.

    B. It transmits electrochemical impulses from one body area to another. It senses

    stimuli, processes information, and controls many

    other body functions.

    C. It produces hormones that control body functions. It regulates homeostasis

    throughout the body in this way.

    D. All of the above. [2]


    5) Which of the following statements are true?

    I. Depolarization occurs when sodium ions rush into the neuron, making the charge

    inside positive.

    II. If a depolarization is strong enough, it will travel down the axon. This is known as

    an action potential.

    III. The transmission of an action potential can be referred to as an

    impulse.

    A. I and II only

    B. II only

    C. I, II, and III

    D. None of the statements are true. [2]


    [Total marks 10]
    5) Where are receptor proteins found at a synapse, and what shape do they have?

    a) Name parts A and B, and describe their roles at the synapse.

    b) Suggest the function of the mitochondria


    [3]

    6) Figure 1 shows the changes in potential difference (p.d.) across the


    membrane of a neurone over a period of time. The membrane was stimulated
    at time A and time B with stimuli of different intensities.

    a) Stimulus B resulted in an action potential. Describe

    what is occurring at C, D and E.

    [3]
    7) a Describe a reflex arc and explain why such reflex arcs are important.

    [3]
    b Describe the structure of a myelin sheath and explain its role in the speed of
    transmission of a nerve impulse.

    b Explain the roles of synapses in the nervous system. [3]

    8) The steroid hormones oestrogen and progesterone are secreted by the


    ovary.
    a. State precisely the sites of secretion of each.

    b. The most effective oral contraceptives for general use are the so- [2]
    called combined oral contraceptives (COCs), which contain both
    oestrogen and progesterone.
    Explain how COCs produce their effects.

    [3]
    c Describe two social implications of the use of contraceptives.

    [3]
