Axons with large diameters conduct impulse faster than those with small diameters. Also Myelinated axons conduct impulse faster than unmyelinated axons. Axons with the largest diameter are all myelinated, therefore they are capable of salatory conduction (Impulses jump from one myelinated node to another). The smallest diameter axons are unmyelinated, so their conduction is continuous.
I hope this helps. :) :)

The answer to this question would be: ketone

When the body metabolizes the fat, it would result in a ketone. The ketone will be excreted by the kidney and dumped in the urine.
An example of this condition is ketoacidosis in diabetic patient who doesn't get treatment. In this case, the cell cant use glucose as the insulin produced is not enough. This cause high number of fat metabolized to be ketone.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature  to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical  gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF)  from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.
