Answer:

C

Explanation:

Albedo is a measure of ‘whiteness’  or reflectivity which is also the rate at which a surface is able to reflect a percentage of solar radiation it receives. White surfaces have a higher albedo which is why Arctic and Antarctic regions with lots of ice sheets have a high albedo. They play a big role in regulating global temperatures. The larger the ice sheet cover in the antarctic and arctic regions, the more they reflect solar radiation back to space hence keeping the temperatures on earth from rising considerably.

Red blood cell
the biconcave shape helps it to squeeze through blood vessels smaller than itself and not get stuck inside (the lack of nucleus also helps it to do this as it has a smaller volume) and the haemoglobin causes the oxygen to stick to it to be transported to other parts of the body.

Coating the neural fibers with an insulating fatty sheath during the process of __________ improves the efficiency of message tr
Darya [45]

Answer;

-Myelination

Explanation;

-Myelination is the process in which neural fibers are coated with an insulating fatty sheath (called myelin) that improves the efficiency of message transfer.

-Most nerve fibers are surrounded by an insulating, fatty sheath called myelin, which acts to speed up impulses. The myelin sheath contains periodic breaks called nodes of Ranvier. By jumping from node to node, the impulse can travel much more quickly than if it had to travel along the entire length of the nerve fiber.
