Axons of A alpha neurons conduct action potentials faster than any other type of neuron. Which of the following would account fo

never [62]

Answer:

Thick diameter, Myelinated

Explanation:

A alpha neurons conduct action potentials faster because of their large axon diameter and myelin.

The large diameter is less resistant to the flow of ions and allows for faster conductivity.
The myelin sheath is a layer of fat acting as to insulate the axon which helps increase signal conductance.

Match the steps in the cell cycle in the correct order

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

1. Chromosomes line up - metaphase

2. Cell growth - G1

3. Final preparations for division - G2

4. Chromosomes get pulled apart - anaphase

5. DNA replication - S

6. Chromosomes condense - prophase

7. Chromosomes uncoil and nucleus reforms - telophase

8. The cytoplasm and organelles divide, and now there are two identical cells - cytokinesis

Explanation:

There are four primary phases, or stages, in the cell cycle, which is a systematic process. Each stage has a goal that has to be achieved before moving on to the next. G1, S, G2, and mitosis are the stages.
There is growth during the G1 phase. A lot of protein is produced and water is pumped in, increasing the volume of the cell. The DNA is also examined at this time to see whether there has been any damage. The G1 phase precedes the S phase, therefore before going into S phase, the cell must make sure it has enough energy reserves.

The cell duplicates its DNA during the synthesis phase, also known as the S phase. DNA content doubles due to the duplication of all chromosomes. The compact state of DNA is created by proteins, which do not exist in and of themselves. Therefore, in order to ensure that the new DNA is properly packed when DNA is replicated, new packaging proteins must be produced. Histones are the proteins that house DNA. The production of new DNA is closely linked to the production of new histones.

A cell multiplies its organelles during the G2 phase. Right before the cells divide into two distinct cells during mitosis, the G2 phase occurs. There must be distinct functioning organelles in each daughter cell. Organelles like the golgi and endoplasmic reticulum are linked networks of sizable membrane pouches that may change size. Other organelles, including mitochondria and chloroplasts, are separate structures that must separate similarly to how cells do.

The process of physically dividing a cell into two daughter cells is called mitosis. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are its four basic stages. The nuclear membrane deteriorates as the chromosomes thicken during prophase. The center of the cell's chromosomes align during metaphase. One chromosome splits in half during anaphase, sending one half to either side. The telophase is characterized by the pinching together of the cell's centre to form two separate cells.

Which event occurs in telophase II

olchik [2.2K]

Explanation:

During telophase II and cytokinesis, chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and begin to decondense; the two cells divide into four unique haploid cells.

Briefly summarize the steps of the six natural cycles of Earth. 1. rock cycle: 2. tectonic cycle: 3. water cycle: 4. carbon cycl

Softa [21]

The Rock Cycle is a group of changes. Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. ... Or, igneous rock can form above ground, where the magma cools quickly.

The Tectonic Cycle is the process in which tectonic plates are created at rift zones where molten material pushes plates apart and destroyed at subduction zones as oceanic plates descend into the mantle. But only oceanic plates are subducted.

The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. Ice and snow can sublimate directly into water vapor. ... Most precipitation falls back into the oceans or onto land, where, due to gravity, the precipitation flows over the ground as surface runoff.

The carbon cycle is the process in which carbon travels from the atmosphere into organisms and the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it to make food. Animals then eat the food and carbon is stored in their bodies or released as CO2 through respiration

The nitrogen cycle involves three major steps: nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and denitrification. It is a cycle within the biosphere which involves the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. ... Instead, they depend on a process known as nitrogen fixation.

Phosphorus moves in a cycle through rocks, water, soil and sediments and organisms. Over time, rain and weathering cause rocks to release phosphate ions and other minerals. This inorganic phosphate is then distributed in soils and water. Plants take up inorganic phosphate from the soil.
