Answer:

C) The production and secretion of proteins.

Explanation:

In the human body, many cells generally possess regions with low levels of either rough or smooth endoplasmic reticulum. However, many specialized cells can possess large amounts of these regions.

If we analyze the functions of both organelles we can determine why some cells have a higher or unusual larger amount of each. For instance, the main function of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is the translation and folding of proteins. Therefore, specialized cells that synthesize or produce large amounts of enzymes (proteins), e.g. pancreatic secretory cells, have an expanded amount of ribosomes for protein translation and a higher amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum to fold the proteins.

Which structure transports water and nutrients from Roots to the next of the plant

Aloiza [94]

Xylem and Phloem tissues are present throughout the plant. They begin at the root and then move up to the stem, branches, and leaves. The xylem tissue transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves whereas the phloem tissue transports food from the leaves to the other parts of the plant.

The process in which brain connections which are repeated become covered and insulated with a layer of fat increasing the effici

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Myelination

Explanation:

Myelin is a fatty substance composed of lipids which surrounds the axons of the nerve cells in the central nervous system. The myelin is formed by the oligodendrocytes in CNS and Schwann cells in PNS.

The plasma membrane of the oligodendrocytes containing the myelin covers the axons of the neurons in spiral fashion thus proving a sheath around through the process called "myelination".

This myelin sheath protects the neurons from the external environment as well as insulates the neuron which increases the efficiency of the impulse.

Thus, Myelination is the correct answer.
