Answer:Myelin is a lipid-rich (fatty) substance that surrounds nerve cell axons (the nervous system's "wires") to insulate them and increase the rate at which electrical impulses (called action potentials) are passed along the axon.
Explanation:
The question above is incomplete, the options attached to the question are as follows:
A. extracting chlorophyll from algae to learn how these organisms gain energy from light.
B. engineering vehicles that use algae for fuel.
C. growing algae under different conditions and measuring their lipid production.
D. engineering algae to photosynthesize at higher rates.
ANSWER
The correct option is C.
Dr. Rose and her assistants set out to carry out scientific investigation that will identify living organisms that can grow rapidly and that will produce high quality lipids at the same time. The team had hypothesized that this type of organisms will be good candidates for production of bio fuels. The group concentrated on working with algae; these were grown under different conditions and their lipid contents were assessed. Their work has led to identification of many algae species as potential sources of bio fuel.

Unicellular organisms consist of one cell only that performs all vital functions including metabolism, excretion, and reproduction. They are responsible for obtaining nutrients, producing energy, and making proteins.
