Mcqs Basic Concepts

This document contains 10 multiple choice questions about basic biological concepts related to cell membranes, action potentials, transport mechanisms, and homeostasis. The questions cover topics such as resting membrane potential, second messengers, the after-hyperpolarization phase, using D2O to determine total body water, the contribution of Na+-K+-ATPase to resting membrane potential, phases of an action potential, transport mechanisms like diffusion and facilitated diffusion, and who coined the term homeostasis.
