Biology

Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a. insulation  

Explanation:

The myelin sheath provides increased cell isolation (increased membrane resistance) because there are no membrane leakage channels in which there is myelin.

In addition to no membrane leakage channels, there is also virtually no type of membrane channel when there is myelin sheath (eg sodium and potassium pumps), which causes the cell a lower need for protein synthesis, or that is, less energy expenditure.

Did your pulse change when standing? Why do you think a change did or did not occur?
pentagon [3]

Explanation:

The pulse of the bodies raises for the first 20 seconds after sitting for a prolonged period of time and then to a standing position. It should, however, return to normal afterwards. The heartbeat of the body decreases because as you travel the blood needs to flow to the active areas and the blood flows downward from gravity, however you still need to pump blood to your brain. The rise in blood demand makes the heart pump more rapidly.

nikdorinn [45]

A valley that has been glaciated by a smaller side glacier and is left standing higher than the main u-shaped valley is a hanging valley.

A hanging valley is a valley that is glaciated out by a small tributary glacier that connects with a valley carved out by a much larger glacier. If waterfalls is present, the hanging valley joins the main U-shaped valley. A hanging valley can be formed when the rate of erosion of the lower valley is high. It can also be formed when there is high flow of water in the lower valley or soft rock layers that wears away quickly.
