denpristay [2]3 years ago

Answer

An acid that breaks down completely and gives off many ions, or protons, is considered to be a strong acid. ex H₂SO₄

If you place strong acid into water it dissociate acid into H⁺ ions

Water is polar solvent(H⁺ and OH⁻), which has partial positive charge on one side and partial negative charge on the other side.

Strong acids readily dissociate in polar solvents to give H+ ions.

Where as Oil is a non polar solvent it has same charge all over so no dissociation of strong acid will take place.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) dendrites; cell body; axon

Explanation:

Neurons cells makes the nervous system and are responsible for carrying the information from one body part to the other body parts. A neuron has three distinct parts dendrites and axon.  

Dendrites are the neurons extension which receives the impulse and transfers to the cell body. We can link dendrite with our fingers. Cell body is a spherical part of neuron like our palm and it controls all functions of the cell. Then from cell body signals are transferred to axons.

Axon is a long part of the nerve cell like our hand which helps in transmitting the signals to the next neurons. Therefore the correct answer is D.
