Motor neurons:

●It's myelinated, to assist the signal in travelling long distances as soon as possible.

Sensory neurons:

B. Structure:

●Presence of long dendrites / axons

● its myelinated

●since it's found in the middle of the neuron it forms ganglia that unites in the spinal cord and aid in involuntary reflexes.

Interneurons:

Structure:

● shorter than motor or sensory neurons

● has branches, a lot of branches consisting of axons and dendrites off the cell body to enable multiple simultaneous between neurons

● It's body is partially myelinated.

●occurs in large clusters of neurons to compensate for its partial myelination to speed up the signal

<u>Evolution is sometimes a controversial:</u>

Evolution is the most scientific explanation about how the life forms of earth originated and turned into the form that we see today.

I don’t think there should be a controversy because there is no other explanation that proves to be more logical than the theory of evolution. Evolution is a theory that has several supporting proofs and the theory itself was formed after several years of detailed study and observation.

I don’t think alternatives to evolution should be taught at schools. Alternative theories to evolution are based on various religious beliefs which lack a scientific basis.

Schools should be a place that enables students to do productive scientific thinking and teaching alternatives to evolution wouldn’t be a good idea.
