The myelin sheath on a neuron allows nerve impulses to be faster because

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. :) :)

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be carbon dioxide and cellular respiration.

Yeast is a single-celled eukaryotic organism which is capable of doing anaerobic (fermentation) as well as aerobic respiration.

It uses cellular respiration (whether aerobic or anaerobic) for the production of energy, that is, adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Cellular respiration refers to the set of chemical reactions which are involved in breaking down sugar or glucose to produce ATP. The carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct.

Thus, yeast breakdown the sugar present in apple juice to produce ATP and carbon dioxide.

This carbon dioxide is released in the form of bubbles.

Explain the criteria for categorizing phenomena as science (Consistent, Observable, Natural, Predictable, Testable, and Tentativ

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Consistency: Consistency is the property of the phenomena where the result of the observation or experiment should be consistence. The degree of the variation between the observation should very low.

Observable: The outcome of the result of the experiment should be observable and the result should be record able.

Natural: For the happening of the event, it should be explainable with the reference of the natural events.

Predictable: The event should be able to predict that can be explained on the basis of the naturally occurring event.

Testable: the cause of the natural event should be able to tested on the basis of variable environment in controlled environment to draw the different result and a conclusion based on the result.

Tentativeness: the scientific theory should be such that it could be tested upon. With the development of science, the theory should be modifiable and even proven wrong.
