Answer:

a meter or more

Explanation:

The main function of the nerve cells is to send a signal from the brain to other parts of the body, or vice versa. The longest nerve cell would be the one who connects the brain with the receptor in your toe. This mean nerve cell length can be as long as the human height. If the human is 6 feet tall in life, that will be about 1.8m tall.

Look at the two fatty acids below.
Gre4nikov [31]

i would say A.

the double bond in an unsaturated fatty acid produces a kink in the molecule. The bend in the carbon chain, however, is much more pronounced in the cis isomer compared to the trans isomer. For this reason, cis fatty acids (and triacylglycerols made from them) do not solidify like trans fatty acids. Due to the larger bend, the cis isomers cannot line up next to one another in as ordered a fashion as the trans isomers and can be more flexible.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but treatment can ease symptoms and reduce complications.

Explanation:

1). For those with cystic fibrosis who have certain gene mutations, doctors may recommend a newer medication called ivacaftor. This medication may improve lung function and weight, increases the activity of Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)protein and reduce the amount of salt in sweat. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people with cystic fibrosis who are age 6 and older. The dose depends on your weight and age.

2). For people with a certain gene mutation who are age 12 and older, another drug is available that combines ivacaftor with a medication called lumacaftor. This drug is called orkambi.

The use of Orkambi may improve lung function and reduce the risk of exacerbations.
