  <span> In unmyelinated axons, the action potential (nerve impulse) travels continuously along the axons and thus, the conduction of nerve impulse is slower. The loss of myelin sheath is called demyelination and is the hallmark of some neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis or acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Demyelination interrupts signals between the brain and other parts of the body and it includes symptoms like loss of vision/hearing,</span> <span>blurriness in the central visual field, double vision, weakness..</span>

How do messages travel from one neuron to another
ale4655 [162]

Answer:When neurons communicate, an electrical impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters from the axon into the synapse. The neurotransmitters cross the synapse and bind to special molecules on the other side, called receptors. Receptors are located on the dendrites. Receptors receive and process the message.

What does competition mean and how might you see competition in an ecosystem?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Ecological competition occurs when living organisms, including animals, plants, bacteria and fungi, need the same limited resources to thrive in their shared environment. An ecosystem could collapse if several species needed the same scarce resources to complete their life cycle. Competition will occur between organisms in an ecosystem when their niches overlap, they both try to use the same resource and the resource is in short supply. Animals compete for food, water and space to live. Plants compete for light, water, minerals and root space.
