What's the difference between an axon and a dendrite

1 answer:

5 0

Dendrites are the fine branches from the cell body that receive incoming information from other neurons and transmit it to the cell body.
Axons on the other hand transmit information from the cell body to other neurons or to cells in glands and muscles. This would make a bit more sense if you take a look at a structure of the neuron.

Answer: The atmosphere of trophic rainforest is hot and humid due to high rate of transpiration.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is a biome which exhibit rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The average temperatures in this region remain high with warm summer. It remains frost free. The soil is nutrient deficient. Due to hot temperature the rate of transpiration remains high as a result the concentration of the water vapors remain high. This is responsible for increasing the humidity in the atmosphere also this region receives appreciable amount of rainfall annually. The average rainfall range is 200-450 centimeters.

Two forces F1 and F2 are applied to a plank that supports a body of mass m, as shown in the figure. The distances between these

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

Given:

Two forces on a plank = F1 and F2

mass of plank = m

The distances between these forces and the body of mass m = L1 and L2

we know that,

mg = F1 +F2 ( independent of L1 and L2)

so almost any point the value of the sum that corresponds to static equilibrium is independent of L1 and L2.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C.
