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. :) :)

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration with respect to energy
motikmotik
“Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.”

What would most likely increase the genetic variation in a population of<br> organisms?
kati45 [8]
Gene duplication, mutation, or other processes can produce new genes and alleles and increase genetic variation. New genetic variation can be created within generations in a population, so a population with rapid reproduction rates will probably have high genetic variation.

In muscles, ATP is generated by glycolysis from two sources of glucose. One source is glucose that is broken down from glycogen
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The answer is B a net 2 ATPs are always generated per glucose regardless of its source

Explanation

Glycogen breaks down in the muscle so as to have enough glucose for muscle contraction and it produces 2ATPs

Glycogen also breaks down in the liver to release enough glucose which gets to the blood stream and is then taken up by other cells. It also produces 2ATPs at the expense of 6ATPs
