Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the myelin sheath is destroyed. What will happen to nerve conduction speed in affected
fredd [130]

Answer;

It is slowed down dramatically

Explanation;

-The myelin sheath can be described as an insulating layer that is composed of wrappings of the plasma membrane of glial cells that encloses the axons outside the brain and spinal cord. It is a fatty material that coats, protects, and insulates nerves, enabling them to quickly conduct impulses between the brain and different parts of the body.

-In multiple sclerosis the T cells either partially or completely strip the myelin off the fibers, leaving the nerves unprotected and uninsulated. These nerves are not as able to pass messages from the brain to the other body parts. The messages the nerves try to send are delayed or distorted and the messages the brain receives may be misinterpreted.

How do cellular respiration and photosynthesis differ?
vichka [17]

Photosynthesis is the process of creating or producing energy from sunlight.  This is a unique process employed by plants and oxygenic bacteria like Cyanophyta or Cyanobacteria. It is the chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, that is primarily responsible for this process.


On the other hand, respiration occurs in most other living beings. The body's respiratory system allows it to obtain oxygen from the surrounding air.


The difference is that plants need sunlight to photosynthesize while other living creatures do not need it for respiration.


Also, plants take in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen in photosynthesis. Meanwhile, other living creatures take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. Thus, establishing an important mutual relationship between the two processes.
