What would probably happen if a long neuron had one continuous myelin sheath down the length of the axon with no nodes of Ranvie

r? A. The action potential would be propagated nearly instantaneously to the synapse. B. There could be no action potential generated at the axon hillock. C. The signal would fade because it is not renewed by the opening of more sodium channels. D. Only potassium could move across the membrane, but not sodium.

The signal would fade because it is not renewed by the opening of more sodium channels

Myelin sheaths protect nerve axons from damage. These sheaths are a lipid-rich stretch of the plasma membrane formed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) by Cell bodies and in the central nervous system by oligodendrocytes (CNS). The myelin sheath is periodically broken all along length of the axon by specific areas known as nodes of Ranvier, which are needed for action potential propagation along the axon. The Ranvier nodes are critical in the speed and timing of impulse transport from one neuron to another, and variations in size or activity have the potential to compromise a neuron's efficacy, resulting in the emergence of neurological diseases.

Lisa [10]

The bald eagle and the black bear are tetrapods, which means that they both have four limbs along with the digits. This shows that they both are the descendants of the four-limbed ancestors. However, the limbs of the bear and the bald eagle have different functions. The forelimbs of both these organisms serves different purpose. Hence, their limbs are homologous organs. The homologous organs are those which have the same ancestry but the functions are different.

Como se representa la molecula de agua y en cuantas partes
Hitman42 [59]
<span>¡La opinión de un químico sobre el mundo no es tan estrecha como se podría pensar! Sí, empezamos con el átomo, y luego pasamos a las reglas que gobiernan los tipos de unidades estructurales que se pueden hacer con ellos. Se nos enseña tempranamente a predecir las propiedades de la materia en masa de estos arreglos geométricos. Y luego llegamos a H2O, y estamos sorprendidos al descubrir que muchas de estas predicciones están muy lejos, y que el agua (y por implicación, la vida misma) ni siquiera debería existir en nuestro planeta. Pero pronto aprendemos que esta pequeña combinación de tres núcleos y ocho electrones posee propiedades especiales que lo hacen único entre los más de 15 millones de especies químicas que conocemos actualmente. Cuando nos detenemos a reflexionar sobre las consecuencias de esto, la química pasa de ser una ciencia arcana a un viaje de maravilla y placer mientras aprendemos a relacionar el mundo microscópico del átomo con el mundo mayor en el que todos vivimos.</span>

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Each biome has a unique set of environmental conditions and plants and animals that have adapted to those conditions. The major land biomes have names like tropical rainforest, grasslands, desert, temperate deciduous forest, taiga (also called coniferous or boreal forest), and tundra.

Explanation:

A biome is different from an ecosystem. An ecosystem is the interaction of living and nonliving things in an environment. A biome is a specific geographic area notable for the species living there. A biome can be made up of many ecosystems. For example, an aquatic biome can contain ecosystems such as coral reefs and kelp forests.
