Quiz zum Vortrag
Which statement regarding vitamin A is true?
- It has 3 primary forms: retinol, retinal, and retinoic acid.
- It is water-soluble.
- It is stored in the kidney.
- It has 2 forms: retinol and retinal.
- Its primary form is retinol.
Which statement regarding vision is true?
- Double bonds play critical roles in light detection.
- Retinol is the light-sensing pigment.
- Light detection occurs as a result of rotation of a single bond.
- Triple bonds play critical roles in light detection.
- The absorption of a photon leads to the conversion of 11-trans retinal to 11-cis retinal.
Which statement regarding specialized retinal cells is true?
- They contain opsin, which holds retinal.
- They are devoid of opsin.
- They are devoid of photopigments.
- They include cones, which detect light.
- Stimulated optic nerve cells are unpolarized.
Which statement regarding rod cells is true?
- They become hyperpolarized when stimulated by light.
- They contain the protein opsin, which isomerizes in the light.
- They start out all-trans-retinal.
- They become depolarized when stimulated by light.
- Rod cells need at least 10 photons to detect light.
Which statement regarding vitamin A is correct?
- Vitamin A plays an important role in gene expression and cell differentiation during the developmental phase.
- Vitamin A does not play any role in human vision.
- Vitamin A plays an important role in hearing and taste.
- Vitamin A is not fat-soluble, and therefore, an excess of this vitamin can lead to toxicity.
- β-carotene blocks vitamin A synthesis.
