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.

TiliK225 [7]
In an ecosystem, two factors are being classified which are the abiotic and the biotic factors. Both of these factors play an important role in order to balance the ecosystem and maintain the harmony of the living things therein. The environment includes the abiotic factors which are the sunlight, weather, water, air, and all other factors which are not living but contribute to the growth and development of the living ones. For example, plants cannot live without water, sunlight and carbon dioxide. The effects that humans have on the environment is both good and bad. Humans also play an important role in maintaining the environment, and they also have the capability to endanger it.
