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.

Answer:

Climate change is rapidly becoming known as a tangible issue that must be addressed to avoid major environmental consequences in the future. Recent change in public opinion has been caused by the physical signs of climate change–melting glaciers, rising sea levels, more severe storm and drought events, and hotter average global temperatures annually. Transportation is a major contributor of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, accounting for approximately 14 percent of total anthropogenic emissions globally and about 27 percent in the U.S.

Fortunately, transportation technologies and strategies are emerging that can help to meet the climate challenge. These include automotive and fuel technologies, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and mobility management strategies that can reduce the demand for private vehicles. While the climate change benefits of innovative engine and vehicle technologies are relatively well understood, there are fewer studies available on the energy and emission impacts of ITS and mobility management strategies. In the future, ITS and mobility management will likely play a greater role in reducing fuel consumption. Studies are often based on simulation models, scenario analysis, and limited deployment experience. Thus, more research is needed to quantify potential impacts. Of the nine ITS technologies examined, traffic signal control, electronic toll collection, bus rapid transit, and traveler information have been deployed more widely and demonstrated positive impacts (but often on a limited basis). Mobility management approaches that have established the greatest CO2 reduction potential, to date, include road pricing policies (congestion and cordon) and carsharing (short-term auto access). Other approaches have also indicated CO2 reduction potential including: low-speed modes, integrated regional smart cards, park-and-ride facilities, parking cash out, smart growth, telecommuting, and carpooling.

Answer:

Not 100% sure but I do think that its the kinetic energy. Hope this help you.

larisa [96]
A

B is wrong because mitochondria would likely absorb the stain even if it was dead.(And most cells that have been treated are dead anyway). C and D are just throwaway answers, you usually want to avoid the word "always" when drawing conclusions.
