Answer:

Astrocytes.

Explanation:

Astrocytes are the star shaped cells that are present in the brain and spinal cord. The exact constitution of astrocytes in the brain is not known and almost 20% to 40% astrocytes are present in brain.

The astrocytes acts as the blood brain barrier and involved in the process of brain scarring. Astrocytes also regulate ions concentration by propagating the calcium ion channels in response to the stimulus. Astrocytes also generate a response by the calcium dependent release of glutamate.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

How does genetic diversity affect biodiversity in an area provide an example
ra1l [238]

A reduction in genetic diversity means that the genetic variability of the species is reduced  hence there are fewer sub-species in the environment. This ultimately reduces the biodiversity of the ecosystem -  which is the variability among all the living organisms in the environment.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

see if the strips repel each other when brought close together

Explanation:

Electric fields can exert forces on objects, even if the objects involved are not touching. One way to demonstrate that electric fields exist around charged objects is to observe the effects of their forces at a distance.

Since Ike knows that each strip of tape carries a negative charge, he could see if the strips repel each other when brought close together.
