Answer:

c) degree of myelination of the axon

Explanation:

Axon conduction velocity can be defined as the speed at which an electrochemical impulse propagates down an axon.

Factors that determines the rate of conduction velocity are:

  • axon diameter-larger diameter axons have a higher conduction velocity
  • sheeth-a myelin sheath increases the rate of impulse propagatio

Different types of neurons will have different speed of propagation because of their different properties and because different types of information are sent.

Rank these reactions from least to most energetically favorable.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

From least to most energetically favorable, the reactions are:

Glucose to Glucose-6-P (least) ; Glucose-6-P to Fructose-6-P; ATP to ADP and Pi; PEP to pyruvate (most favorable)

Explanation:

ΔG represents the free energy change that occurs during a chemical reaction. A reaction with negative free energy change is exergonic and spontaneous. Negative free energy change represents the fact that reactants have more free energy than products. The excess of the energy is released during the reaction and makes it a spontaneous process.

q`On the other hand, a reaction with positive free energy change is endothermic and non-spontaneous. These thermodynamically unfavorable reactions are coupled with other exergonic reactions to make them occur.

Among the given example, PEP to pyruvate has the highest negative free energy change (−14.8 kcal/mol) and therefore, is energetically most favorable. On the other hand, "Glucose to Glucose-6-P" has the highest positive free energy charge (+3.3 kcal/mol) making it energetically the most unfavorable reaction.

Identify the inputs and outputs of the muscular<br> system
Bess [88]
Connecting the worlds of engineering and regenerative medicine is no small feat and I hope that our last blog, which connected the human brain and the controller of an automation system, opened your eyes and allowed you to make some realistic associations between two distinct processes. With these blogs, we are propelling the industry forward by familiarizing both engineers and scientists with the worlds of a “different” industry.

Why do plants have a cell wall and animals cells don’t?
algol [13]
Cell walls are supporting structures that help the plant to have a fixed shape and protect it from injury. Other than that, it helps to keep the plant turgid so that it can stay firm and upright. Because when it enters a high water potential solution, as water moves in, the water exerts turgor pressure on the cell wall and the cell wall thus exerts an opposing pressure to keep water out. Hence cell wall is needed for the plant.

On the other hand, animal cells do not need to keep the structures, as they have the skeletal system to protect the organs and cushion them against any
external injuries.

I hope that helped
