Answer:

Star-shaped.

Explanation:

Neurons are the nerve cell that acts as the basic structural unit of the nervous system. Neurons helps in the transmission of nerve impulse and transmit the signal into different parts of the body.

There are basically four types of microscopic neuron : unipolar, bipolar, multipolar and pseuounipolar neuron. Star-shaped neurons are not found in the microscopic description of neuron.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Answer:

Star-shaped

Explanation:

Nervous cells in our body are capable of generating, receiving, and sending electrical signals to different cells. It establishes a communicating system in our body apart from the endocrine system. Its function is very first. The units of the nervous system are the neurons. The neurons are 3 types according to their structure- multipolar neuron, bipolar neuron, and unipolar/ pseudounipolar neurons. The multipolar neurons have one cyton, one axon having many branching dendrites. These types of neurons are common and found in the brain.  

The bipolar neurons have one cell body and one axon having one dendron. The bipolar neurons are found in the retina of the eye.

The unipolar or pseudounipolar neurons are bipolar during the embryonic stage and later it becomes unipolar neurons. It contains one axon which arises from cyton. The axon bifurcates to form the axon at one end and dendrites at the other end. This type of neurons is found in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord.  

Besides the neurons, another type of nerve cells is present in the nervous system known as glial cells. It is the support system of the nervous system and increases the efficiency of the neurons.  They are also different types - astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and satellite cells. The astrocytes are star-shaped nerve cells. It connects neurons and blood vessels.

Describe how the functional units for beta carotene, xanthophyll, chlorophyll a, and chlorophyll b are different. be sure to ide
leonid [27]

The pigments have a similar structure of 40 carbon atoms covalently bonded in a chain. Carotenoids contain oxygen atoms in their chemical structure (retinyl functional group) while xanthophyll does not. This makes carotenoids more non-polar compared to xanthophylls, hence move farthest in chromatography paper using a nonpolar mobile phase. Chlorophyll pigment, on the other hand, has chlorin rings (which are larger) as functional units hence move slowly in chromatography.

Photosynthetic rates can be measured by either the amount of oxygen they consume per particular time period or the amount of carbon dioxide produced per particular time period. This is conducted while immersed in water so as to measure bubble rate formation in case of oxygen production or the change in water pH in the case of carbon dioxide consumption.

When autumn approaches, the amount sunlight received by the plant is reduced due to longer night than days. Deciduous trees have adapted by losing chlorophyll a and b pigments (most important in photosynthesis) during this time. This leaves a higher amount of the other red and yellow pigments hence making the leaves change from green to yellow-red.

It is believed that this is the result of an ancient endosymbiotic relationship between a protist and a eukaryotic cell. The protist generates energy that the eukaryotic can utilize in its growth and reproduction while the protist is sheltered. This relationship became obligatory symbiosis over time.

Muscles that move the eyeball have ________ fibers.
ozzi

Muscles which are responsible for the movement of the eyeball have fast fibers. Thus, the correct option is A.

<h3>What are fast muscle fibers?</h3>

Fast-twitch muscle fibers are the muscle fibers which provide bigger and more powerful forces, however for shorter durations and fatigue quickly. They are more anaerobic with less blood supply, and hence are sometimes also referred to as white fibers or type II fibers.

Fast-twitch muscle fibers are activated by the high intensity movements which are sustained in short bursts. Examples of movements include sprints, burpees, and quick lateral movements.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

What geological feature is located below an active volcano
frez [133]

Answer:

Below an active volcano lies magma chamber. Magma is the liquid which makes the lava. It’s located within the crust of the earth.

Explanation:

Magma chambers lies within the crust of the earth. Volcano is made up of magma which has come in contact with water. Upon contact with water, it erupts.

Once the volcano erupts it can destroy all forms of life surrounding it. The parts where the lava has fallen are no more capable of inhibiting.
