Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
With voltage change, potassium rushes into, not out of, the cell. Sodium movement is not related to this process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Cytokines play a major role in the regulation of tissue growth and development but do not re-strain it. Cytokines help overcome intracellular braking mechanisms that restrain cell growth and promote cell growth, but they do not provide nutrients.

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
