Question

Like all cells, the neurons' internal organization dictates its function. Neurons have relatively many mitochondria, an extensive network of rough endoplasmic reticulum and many clusters of ribosomes. These cellular features indicate all of the following EXCEPT ________.
A) neurons must meet a high demand for ATP.
B) neurons have stable, relatively unchanging internal environments.
C) neurons produce many proteins.
D) neurons have a relatively high consumption of oxygen.

Answer 1

Answer:

Neurons have stable, relatively unchanging internal environments.

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cells is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Neurons consists of the dendrites, axon, cell body and different cell organelles.

The neurons have mitochondria that meets the high ATP requirement and and consume more oxygen. The network of rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes produce large number of proteins in neuron. The internal environment is never stable and gets changed as the nerve impulse transmission occur through the neuron. The membrane potential of the neuron gets changed and changes its internal environment.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
