Answer:

c) degree of myelination of the axon

Explanation:

The myelin sheath covers many axons in central nervous system (CNS) ( by oligodendrocytes) and in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (by Schwann cells). Their function is to insulate axons and to increase the speed at which information travels from one nerve cell to another.

Nerve conduction velocity is specific to each individual and depend on the level to which that axon is myelinated, but also on  an axon's diameter.

Explain how temperature and precipitation are affected by latitude and the sun's rays.
Licemer1 [7]
Latitude is the measurement of the distance of a location on the Earth from the equator. The further away from the equator that you are the less sunlight that this location receives. ... At the Equator, the Sun's rays strike the Earth at a right angle, which makes the heat more intense and concentrated over a small area.

Difference between plant and animal Glycolysis
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

no difference

Explanation:

There is no difference between plant and animal glycolysis. Glycolysis is an important step of respiration and refers to the break down of glucose molecule for the generation of energy in the form of ATP. Both plant and animal glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell where glucose molecule is broken down and produces 2 molecules of pyruvate and 2 molecule of ATP. This process occurs without the use of oxygen molecule.
