Biology

Slower rate of transmission - this is because it cannot carry out saltatory conduction. Myelin insulates nerve cells along the axon and is present as Schwann Cells on the outer membrane. It allows saltatory conduction to take place as the impulse can just from one Schwann Cell to the next without having to travel the whole length of the axon - but this cannot take place in unmyelinated neurones.

Look up viruses. Write a short summary of what they are and what they do.
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes because they lack all of the characteristics of living things except for the ability to reproduce. They are considered parasitic because they cannot live or replicate without a living host. Viruses consist of genetic material (either DNA or RNA), a protein coat, and sometimes a lipid envelope surrounding the protein coat. They have no function except to reproduce.

Explain the role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle
Oksanka [162]

Bacteria is important because this bacteria binds hydrogen molecules with the gaseous nitrogen to form ammonia in the soil.  During assimilation, or when plants take up nitrates from the soil, bacteria aid in the process with the plants in making ammonia. Animal wastes is also a major place where bacteria thrives and produces ammonia. The process in which assimilation occurs in plants, and then bacteria converts the nitrates to ammonia is called ammonification.  From the conversion of ammonia to nitrites, bacteria also aids in this process called nitrification. The nitrifying bacteria mostly present in soils, oxidize ammonia into nitrites, and from nitrites to nitrates.

Finally, the process of denitrification also has bacteria present to aid in converting nitrates back into a gaseous form of nitrogen in the atmosphere.
