Answer:

Myelination

Explanation:

The covering of myelin around the axons is called the myelin sheath. This myelin sheath helps in transfer of information faster and also in complex  processes of the brain. The process of myelination begins in the PNS (peripheral nervous system).

The myelinated section are seperated from each other with a gap called nodes of ranvier. Glial cells (oligodendrocytes) forms the myelin sheath in the central nervous system and schwann cells (glial cells) forms the myelin sheath in peripheral nervous system. The propagation of electrical impulse in the myelinated fibers is by saltatory conduction that is from one node to another.

Answer:

Myelination

Explanation:

Myelination refers to the process which forms a protective layer made up of lipid-containing substance fats around the neurons. This protective layer around the neuron is known as the myelin sheath.

The myelin sheath is formed by the Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system by the extension and helical wrapping of the plasma membrane of the Schwann cells around neurons. similarly, Oligodendrocytes form the myelin layer around the neurons in the CNS.

Thus, myelination is the correct answer.

Based on your understanding of the hydrologic cycle and oceans, pick the correct statement from the choices below.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Neither A nor B is correct

Explanation:

Hydrologic cycle is the sequence of different conditions through which the water passes from oceans to clouds, precipitates as rains, comes to the rivers and finally reaches the ocean.

This first statement in the question said that water will end up in the river which is not true because water from the river ultimately ends in the oceans because all the rivers terminate in the oceans finally.

The second statement is also wrong because when water from one ocean vaporizes and becomes cloud, it can travel large distances as clouds in the effect of wind and thus may get precipitated in the form of rain in some other part of the world. So, it is not necessary that the water will end up in the same ocean.

What would most likely happen to plants if they did not have a waxy outer coating?
belka [17]
Plants need this waxy outer coating, also known as a cuticle, for a variety of reasons. The cuticle keeps the important things the plant needs in, such as water and carbon dioxide, and the things the plant doesn't need, such as too much heat, out. It performs a few different functions, including protecting the important cells needed for photosynthesis.
