What is the signal speed if the thickness of the myelin sheath is halved but no other changes are made to the axon?

Biology

blagie [28]1 year ago
6 0

Myelin can greatly increase the speed of electrical impulses in neurons because it insulates the axon and assembles voltage-gated sodium channel clusters at discrete nodes along its length.so the signal speed might slow down as it got halved

Myelin is the insulating layer, or sheath that forms around the nerves, including those in the brain and in the spinal cord. It is made up of some  protein and fatty substances. This myelin sheath is allows electrical impulses to the transmit quickly and efficiently along with the nerve cells. If the myelin is damaged, these impulses slow down.

Myelin is repaired or replaced by the special cells in the brain called as oligodendrocytes. These cells are made from special type of stem cell that found in the brain, called as oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs).

8 Natural selection produces changes most quickly in
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Natural selection produces changes most quickly in  species with short reproductive cycles.

Explanation:

Natural selection implies a process of changes in the genome of species, induced by their environmental conditions, which allow them to survive. The processes of natural selection usually manifest themselves after long periods of time and are synonymous with adaptive evolution.

Since natural selection depends on the changes observable in successive generations within a species,<u> in organisms with short reproductive cycles the changes promoted by natural selection could be observed most quickly</u>.

Answer the following:
mihalych1998 [28]
A. behavioral isolation is when the plant or animal acts a particular way to attract their counterparts, like mating rituals.

geographic isolation is the natural barrier preventing similar species from interacting. for example, Galapagos Islands are the only home of flightless cormorants because the islands are so far from any other land for them to invade.

Temporal isolation is when two of the same or similar species cannot reproduce as a result of mismatched sexual maturity.

B. the isolation of two frog species by mating call is behavioral isolation.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

D. The methyl group of acetyl CoA becomes radio-labeled

Explanation:

During the steps in glycolysis, the carbon at position 1, becomes C-1 in dihydroxyacetone phosphate during the cleavage of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Subsequently on isomerization of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, C-1 of dihydroxyacetone phosphate becomes C-3 of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.

Furthermore, in pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, C-3 is converted to a methyl group which then becomes the methyl group in the acetyl-CoA molecule produced from the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate.

Since the radioactive 14-C of radio-labeled glucose occupies position 1, it will become the methyl group of acetyl-CoA.
