Hey there!

An ion is any atom with an electric charge. This can be negative or positive.

To see which one of these is an ion, first see what causes an electric charge. Positive charges are caused by protons. One proton = one positive. Negative charges are caused by electrons. One electron = one negative. Thus, when the number of protons and electrons are equal, this makes it so there is no overall charge. Thus, to make an ion, the number of protons and electrons must be unequal.

When we look at the answer choice, we can see that the number of protons and electrons are equal for every single choice except for choice b. Thus, your answer is b.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following is a factor that determines the rate of impulse propagation, or conduction velocity, along an axon?a) len
Alexxx [7]

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.
