Assertion : The imbalance in concentration of
Na+,K+N{a^ + },{K^ + } and proteins generates resting potential.

Reason : To maintain the unequal distribution
of Na+ & K+N{a^ + }\,\& \,{K^ + }, the neurons use electrical energy.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If Assertion is true but Reason is false
Option C is correct. The assertion is true because the imbalance of ions creates resting potential, but the reason is false because neurons use chemical energy (ATP) to maintain the ion distribution, not electrical energy.

Assertion: Reflex arc comprises of at least one
afferent neuron, one efferent neuron and a part
of PNS.

from a sensory organ and transmits the impulse
via a ventral nerve root into the PNS.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both Assertion and Reason are false
Option D (If both Assertion and Reason are false) is correct because the reflex arc involves the CNS, not just the PNS, and the efferent neuron transmits impulses via a ventral nerve root, not into the PNS.

Assertion: Nerve impulse can never be transmitted from dendrite or cell body of one neuron to the axon of
the next neuron, across a synapse
Reason: This happens because of the synaptic delay at each synapse
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If the assertion is true but the reason is false
Option C is correct. The assertion that nerve impulses cannot be transmitted from dendrite/cell body to axon across a synapse is true, but the reason (synaptic delay) is not the primary reason for this unidirectional transmission.

Assertion (A): Impulse transmission across a electrical synapse is always slower than across a chemical synapse.

Reason (R): The membranes of pre and post synaptic neurons are not in close proximites at electrical synapse.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both assertion and reason are false.
Option D (If both assertion and reason are false) is correct because electrical synapses are faster, and the membranes are in close proximity.

Assertion (A): Sodium potassium pump contribute to the negativity of the resting membrane potential.

Reason (R): Sodium potassium pump transports 2Na+2{Na}^{+} outwards for 3K+3{K}^{+}into the cell.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true but reason is false.
Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion) is incorrect because the sodium-potassium pump transports 3Na+ outwards for 2K+ into the cell, contributing to the negativity of the resting membrane potential.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Na+N{a^ + } out and K+{K^ + } in
Option B (Na+N{a^ + } out and K+{K^ + } in) is correct because the sodium-potassium pump actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.

Which one is correct about the focusing of the eye?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
The focus of the eye is controlled exclusively by the parasympathetic innervation of the ciliary body
Option B (The focus of the eye is controlled exclusively by the parasympathetic innervation of the ciliary body) is correct because the parasympathetic nervous system controls the contraction of the ciliary muscle, which changes the shape of the lens for focusing.
