Answer:

The correct statement is - option B.

Explanation:

Unmyelinated axons are the axon that lacks the covering of scwann cells that form the myelin sheath which helps in the transfer or transmit the signals faster and more effectively in neurons. It acts as the insulating layer.

In absence of the myelin sheath, the action potential found everywhere along the length of the axon which leads to slow propagation than in myelinated axons.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

E. bind to troponin which moves the tropomyosin

Explanation:

calcium ions bind to troponin, causing conformational changes in troponin that allow tropomyosin to move away from the myosin binding sites on actin. Once the tropomyosin is removed, a cross-bridge can form between actin and myosin, triggering contraction

What path does pollen need to travel for the plant to reproduce?.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

stigma

Explanation:

Pollination occurs when pollen grains from the anther land on a stigma. After pollen grains land on the stigma, a pollen tube grows from the pollen grain, through the style, and into the ovary. Sperm cells inside the pollen grain travel down the pollen tube and into the ovary which contains the ovules.

  An organism takes care of its young and produces few offspring. What type of organism is this? 
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

K-strategists

Explanation:

Reproductive pattern in organisms can be typically categorised into two:

1. K- Strategy

2. R- Strategy

K-strategists are organisms that lives in very stable environments and gives birth to fewer organisms. Most of these organisms reproduce close the carrying capacity of their habitat. They offer support and protection to their progeny to the points where they become indepedent. The mortality rate is very low in such organisms and so is the birth rate too.

R-strategists are organisms whose main aim is to populate and dominate an environment. They reproduce exponentially and offers no life support to their progeny in their early developmental stage. They often occupy unstable and highly unpredictable environments. Most R organisms have a very low and short life expectancy. Since they produce more offspring and they live under adverse environments, mortality rate is high.

Examples of K-strategists are elephants and man

Examples of R-stategists are grasses and microbes.
