Which of these definitions have been paired with the correct type of cell?
patriot [66]

Answer:

B. Neurons are cells that conduct electrical impulses.

Explanation:

Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells protect against pathogens and aid in blood clotting after injury. Blood cells cannot contract.

Neurons generate and conduct electrical impulses. So this one is correct.

Epithelial cells line the cavities and surfaces of blood vessels and organs, protect underlying tissue, regulate the exchange of chemicals, and secrete various substances. They do not react to stimuli, however neurons do.

Smooth muscles helps the skeleton move, smooth muscle is found in blood vessels and some organs, and cardiac muscle helps the heart beat and pump blood. They are however, not components of blood.

Each of pollan's chapters focuses on one particular plant and pollan suggests that each plant satisfies a specific human desire.
Debora [2.8K]

Each of pollan's chapters focuses on one particular plant and pollan suggests that each plant satisfies a specific human desire. The potato satisfies our desire for control – even more so now that we control its genes.

Though people might consider potatoes ordinary everyday fare, history demonstrates how crucial this vegetable is to humankind. Prior to the invention of the potato, conditions were challenging; many people, particularly in northern European nations, suffered from starvation and famine.

Malnutrition and starvation were eradicated in the countries that embraced the potato, and as a result, they grew stronger and more powerful. It is even conceivable that the potato spread resulted in a transfer of power from southern European nations to northern ones.
