Answer:

The correct answer to fill in the blank is: glial cells.

Explanation:

<u>Glial cells are the other type of cells aside from neurons that are present in the nervous system. </u>

Glial cells are present both in the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System, but in each of these anatomical divisions, the glial cells differ. For example, in the <u>Central Nervous System</u> there are oligodendrocytes (form myelin), astrocytes (provides nutrition for the neurons, maintains the ionic balance, repairs the tissue after damage, and forms the blood-brain barrier), ependymal cells (produces cerebrospinal fluid), and microglia (a specialized macrophage); while in the <u>Peripheral Nervous System</u> there are only Schwann cells (form myelin) and satellite cells (provide nutrients for the neurons).

When sugars are broken down to produce usable energy for cells, a large amount of heat is released. Explain how the water inside
Helen [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is due to the fact that water has  high specific heath capacity,which makes it to accommodate large amount of heat energy produced by the catabolic reactions which liberated heat.

General, the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a particular substance over a given amount is called the specific  heat capacity of that substance. Therefore for water, the amount of heat energy needed to raise the mass of 1kg of water by 1 degree is called the specific heat capacity of water.

Since large hydrogen bonds  held water molecules together,it takes a long time of heat energy to break these bonds free to raise the temperature of water.Hence, water in living cells is able to accommodate large amount of heat energy to stabilise the temperate of the cells.

In which type of joint are the vertebral discs that allow twisting, turning, and sliding?
Greeley [361]
The correct answer is gliding joint.  
<span>
A gliding joint or a plane joint is a type of synovial joint formed between bones that meet at flat or nearly flat articular surfaces. These joints allow the bones to glide past one another in any direction along the plane of the joint (twisting, turning, and sliding). </span>

Each of the following is a function of the integumentary system except:
kramer

Answer:

A. synthesis of vitamin C.

Explanation:

Integumentary system refers to the skin and its appendages. So it doesn't have the role to synthesis vitamin C, but it can synthesis  vitamin D through exposure to UV light. The major role of integumentary system is protective role (immuno defense-from infections, dehydration, temperature changes, protection of underlying tissue etc). It also contains many receptors (for pain, touch, temperature change) that detect environmental changes.

How does the growth of antibiotic resistance in bacteria support the theory of evolution by natural selection?
Nana76 [90]
Wow that's a good one :). Think about it like this. When you put antibiotics in place where bacterias live, probably most of them will die, however there might be "some" who are resistent to the antibiotic by their nature, (mutations etc.) so among the bacterias which were exposed the antibiotics those resistent ones will survive. And bacterias have a system for exchanging DNA to make each other more resistant, its called "conjugation" look it up. By conjugation they give each other genes which will help them survive. So if we summarize, those who are already resistant survive (which is a cause of natural selection in an environment of antibiotics) and help others resistant too.
