1. Glial cells are refereed to as forgotten cells because the number of scientific research carried out on glial cells is very small compared to the other nerve cells. The other nerve cells in the nervous system have been focus of research for years, this is done in order to better understand human brain; but the glial cells have not receive that same kind of attention from researchers.
2. The following differences exist between neurons ans glial cells:
a. Glia cells has only one process while neurons have two processes, which are axon and dendrites.
b. Glial cells can not generate action potentials while neurons can.
c. Neuron have resting potential; glia cells do not.
d. Neurons possess chemical synapses which use neurotransmitters. Glial cells do not possess chemical synapses.
e. The glial cells in the nervous system are much more in number than the neurons.
3. If the glial cells stop functioning in a human being, the entire nervous system will start to malfunctioning. This is because the roles that the glial cells play in the nervous system are very important ones that are very necessary for the overall functioning of the nervous system.

B. Biosphere
Answer:
The ability of caffeine to inhibit adenosine receptors, plays a very important role in heightened alertness and sleeplessness.
Explanation:
"<em><u>Caffeine</u></em>" (<em>1,3,7-trimethylxanthine</em>) is an alkaloid obtained from plants. It has a chemical formula of C8H10N4O2.
Caffeine is generally <em>hydrophillic</em> but sufficiently <em>lipophilic</em> to pass through all biological membranes and readily cross the blood-brain barrier.
Therefore can bind with the adenosine receptors. Due to the blocking of adenosine inhibitory effects through its receptors held by paraxanthine and caffeine, it indirectly affects the release of <u>norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, glutamate</u> e.t.c.
The release of the above-mentioned hormones have a great impact on the heightened alertness of the body, especially <em>dopamine</em> and <em>serotonin</em>.
Answer:
Acclimatization
Explanation:
Acclimatization is the change in the body of an organism in response to changes in the environment to maintain equilibrium (homeostasis). In the case of the salmon, when the environment changes from fresh to salt water and back, the chemical homeostasis would be altered if the fish didn't adjust. The adjustments in the fish gills are the response of the fish to acclimatize to the changes in the chemical environment in order to maintain homeostasis.
