Answer:

c. saltatory conduction  

Explanation:

An electrical impulse begins at the upper end of the neuron. This area is known as the axon ridge, and this ensures that the electrical impulse will travel in one direction only.

Through the myelin, the electrical impulse jumps from one node to another, instead of having to travel the entire distance from the axon. This type of signal conduction is called saltatory conduction.

Saltatory conduction speeds up impulse movement, as some axons may be up to one meter long. With this, the body achieves fast and efficient nerve conduction, and it is what allows you to react so quickly during reflexes.

You want to cultivate some exotic plants at your farm. However, the climate is chillier than the temperature range favorable to
myrzilka [38]

The correct answer is - D. use a greenhouse.

If the climate is not suitable for a certain exotic plant, and the reason for that is that it is colder than the place from where the plant originates, than the best solution is to plant it in a greenhouse.

The greenhouse will provide higher temperature for the plant throughout the whole year, so it is will have a proper temperature, similar to the one it is adapted to. Also, it will receive sufficient amounts of light. It will be protected from the outside influences such as the cold winds, snow, low temperatures, so it will have a good chance of growing.
