c. kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is an energy possessed by an object due to its movement.

Metals contain free electrons which are called delocalised electrons, they move freely, when a metal is heated they vibrate and move more quickly - this electrons gain kinetic energy from the excess vibrating ions. They move around thereby transferring some of their energy to the nearby particles

Determine the direction in which an electrical signal is carried in a typical multipolar neuron

choli [55]

The direction in which an electrical signal is carried in a typical multi-polar neuron is:
Dendrites, cell body, axon
Specialized projection of neurons are dendrites and axon. The central part of neuron is cell body. So, the electrical signal is carried in a direction that first dendrites carried the signal then it goes towards cell body and then to axon.
