The correct answer is the myelin sheath.  

Myelin sheath refers to a fatty layering, which produces a protective sheath around the nerve fibers and drastically enhances the rate of transmission of nerve signals. The myelin sheath has various functions in the nervous system.  

However, the prime function of it is to safeguard the nerves from other electrical impulses, and accelerating the time it consumes for a nerve to cross an axon.

Solution:

the name of the sheath that encases axons to protect them and increase the speed of communication between neurons is known as myelin sheath.

It is known as the insulating envelope of myelin that surrounds the core of a nerve fiber or axon and that facilitates the transmission of nerve impulses, formed from the cell membrane of the Schwann cell in the peripheral nervous system and from oligodendroglia cells. medullary sheath.

Thu the right answer is myelin sheath

Answer:

A- A pH change can cause the enzyme to change its shape

Explanation:

A rise or fall in the pH of the medium from the optimum of pH 7 usually affect  the  enzymes' active sites  of  and therefore the  shape and  the  rate of enzyme activity.

Assuming  the pH is too low, the enzyme medium becomes acidic;Acidosis. The high Hydrogen ions concentration  interacts with the R-groups of the amino acids moiety of the enzymes, this interaction affects the ionization of the  R-groups, disrupting the ionic bonding holding these R-groups in shape.

This results in loss of the 3-Dimensional shape arrangements of the protein molecule  and therefore of the active sites. Since active sites of  enzymes  determines the specificity of the <u>enzymes substrate- complex </u> to give <u>enzyme-product complex,</u> the catalytic activity of the enzymes decreases, <u>the rate of  reaction decreases,and products formation stops, and the reaction also stops.</u>

The same is applicable to extremely high pH=Alkalosis.

However, the effective buffer system of the body prevents this scenarios from happening in real sense in the body. Through mopping by the  haemoglobin, excretion by the kidney, etc

<span>Prokaryotes have magnetite-containing structures, nucleoid (their version of a nucleus), fimbriae. Animals have lysosomes. Plant cells have chloroplasts (make the plant cells green, produce energy for plants), photosynthetic membranes (produce energy for plants), cell well. Flagella can be found in prokaryotes and animal cells but for a simpler biology class, I would put it with prokaryotes.</span>

enot [183]

Answer:

Option C, he lost both sensory and short-term memory

Explanation:

Sensory memory is basically the information received by the five sense organs and also the instruction given by brain to the respective sense organ.  

This sensory memory keeps  storing and is collectively referred to as short term memory.  

Since Chuck Wildlee was unable to remember how many balls and strikes the batter had. In past he would have perceived this information through eyes which should have been part of sensory memory and later the part of short term memory.  

Thus, it can be said that Chuck Wildlee lost both his sensory memory and short term memory  

Hence, option C is correct
