Answer 2

Answer:

A student is reviewing functions of the cell. the student would be correct in identifying a chief function of the nerve cell as conductivity.

Explanation:

The human body is made up of a huge amount of cells. Cells are considered the smallest part of living organisms and are therefore structural and functional elements.

The human body is multicellular (several cells). It is made up of 10 trillion cells that work in an integrated manner, each of which has a specific function, namely nutrition, protection, energy production and reproduction.

However, cell conductivity can be considered the main function of cells, as it is through conductivity that cells can transmit or propagate energy.
