Answer:

The correct answer is - cell wall made up of cellulose that makes it crunchy.

Explanation:

In plant-based foods, the outer membrane is a cell wall that provides structure and supports the plant to stand erect and protect from the outer environment. The cell wall is mainly composed of cellulose that is a carbohydrate which is comparatively crunchy or tough to the animal protein with a fatty cell membrane that makes it chewier than the crunchy.

The composition of the protective layers of the plant cels and animal cell causes this difference in their texture.

A damages axon in the PNS may be able to regenerate only if the cell body is intact. Why do you think that the cell body must be
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Explanation:

The central nervous system (CNS) does not have capacity to repair itself but, the PNS or the peripheral nervous system can repair and regenerate itself. The PNS can regenerate its damaged axon only when its cell body or cyton and its neurilemma are intact. The proximal end of the cyton has growth cones. The axon grows from the cones.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!<br> Adjust the mass. How does the mass of a pendulum affect its period?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The mass of a pendulum's bob does not affect the period. Newton's second law can be used to explain this phenomenon. In F = m a, force is directly proportional to mass. As mass increases, so does the force on the pendulum, but acceleration remains the same.

Axon Terminal -the swollen distal end of the motor neuron axon.

Sarcolemma -the muscle cell membrane.

Synaptic Vesicles -structures within the axon terminal that contain the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh).

Terminal Cisternae & Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR) -structures within skeletal muscle cells that serve as reservoirs of calcium ions.
