Which of the following is NOT a type of biomechanical force?

  1. Compression

  2. Tension

  3. Shear

  4. Buoyancy


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Buoyancy is a force that acts on objects submerged in a fluid, while compression, tension, and shear are all types of mechanical forces that can be applied to biological tissues.

The study of fluid flow in biological systems is known as:

  1. Biofluid Mechanics

  2. Biosolid Mechanics

  3. Biomechanics

  4. Biotransport


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Biofluid Mechanics is a branch of biomechanics that deals with the flow of fluids in biological systems, such as blood flow in the circulatory system or airflow in the respiratory system.

The process by which substances move across cell membranes is called:

  1. Diffusion

  2. Osmosis

  3. Active Transport

  4. Facilitated Diffusion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, driven by the concentration gradient.

The rate of diffusion is influenced by which of the following factors?

  1. Concentration Gradient

  2. Temperature

  3. Surface Area

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the concentration gradient, temperature, and surface area.

  1. Diffusion

  2. Osmosis

  3. Active Transport

  4. Facilitated Diffusion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.

The process by which cells actively transport molecules against a concentration gradient, requiring energy, is called:

  1. Diffusion

  2. Osmosis

  3. Active Transport

  4. Facilitated Diffusion


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Active Transport is the process by which cells actively transport molecules against a concentration gradient, requiring energy.

The process by which molecules move across a cell membrane with the assistance of a carrier protein is called:

  1. Diffusion

  2. Osmosis

  3. Active Transport

  4. Facilitated Diffusion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Facilitated Diffusion is the process by which molecules move across a cell membrane with the assistance of a carrier protein.

Which of the following is NOT a type of solid biomaterial?

  1. Bone
