The most commonly implicated neurotransmitter in the aetiology of schizophrenia is
[ "Norepinephrine", "Serotonin", "Dopamine", "GABA" ]
C
Schizophrenia is presently thought to be probably due to a functional increase of dopamine at the postsynaptic receptor, though other neurotransmitters such as serotonin (especially 5-HT2 receptors), GABA and acetylcholine are also presumably involved.

What branch of science is the study of matter and energy?
[ "unnatural science", "physical science", "negative science", "natural science" ]
B
Physical science is the study of matter and energy. That covers a lot of territory because matter refers to all the “stuff” that exists in the universe. It includes everything you can see and many things that you cannot see, including the air around you. Energy is also universal. It’s what gives matter the ability to m...

What adjective describes the movements that propel the feces during elimination?
[ "peristaltic", "enzymatic", "convulsive", "hyperplastic" ]
A
The rectum (Figure 16.6) stores feces until defecation. The feces are propelled using peristaltic movements during elimination. The anus is an opening at the far-end of the digestive tract and is the exit point for the waste material. Two sphincters regulate the exit of feces, the inner sphincter is involuntary and the...

What fills the epidermal cells that make up fingernails and toenails?
[ "keratin", "cellulose", "chromatin", "amino acids" ]
A
Fingernails and toenails consist of specialized epidermal cells that are filled with keratin . The keratin makes them tough and hard, which is important for the functions they serve. Fingernails prevent injury by forming protective plates over the ends of the fingers. They also enhance sensation by acting as a counterf...

When naming this type of ion the ending of the element’s name is dropped and replaced with the – ide suffix?
[ "oxides", "cations", "anions", "amines" ]
C
Naming anions is slightly different than naming cations. The ending of the element’s name is dropped and replaced with the – ide suffix. For example, F - is the fluoride ion, while O 2- is the oxide ion. As is the case with cations, the charge on the anion is indicated by a superscript following the symbol. Common anio...

In humans, there are five primary tastes, and each taste has only one corresponding type of receptor. Thus, like olfaction, each receptor is specific to its stimulus (tastant). Transduction of the five tastes happens through different mechanisms that reflect the molecular composition of the tastant. A salty tastant (co...
