Compared to unmyelinated axons, myelinated axons?

Biology
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. Conduct impulses faster.

Explanation:

Myelinated axons are called that way due to the myelin sheath that surrounds them. Myelin has an insulation property so electrical impulses cannot travel through it, except on certain sites called Nodes of Ranvier. In order for electrical impulses to be conducted on myelinated axons they must "jump" from one Node of Ranvier to the next, and thus conduction is faster. This is called saltatory conduction.

Term referring to the process in which certain compounds increase in concentration within biotic tissues as they move up through
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

a. Biomagnification

Explanation:

Biomagnification is the name given to the progressive accumulation of substances from one trophic level to another along a food chain. Thus, the substance will have its highest concentration in individuals who occupy trophic levels furthest from producers.

For biomagnification to occur, substances must be fat soluble (lipid soluble) and thus adhere to living tissues. Another feature of substances that undergo biomagnification is that they are generally not biodegradable or metabolized by the body.

The phenomenon is quite common with heavy metals (lead; mercury) and certain chlorinated and aromatic organic compounds with higher molecular mass, such as the insecticide DDT.

The foxes would have brown fur all year because the change in the environment will not occur. If the change not occur in the climatic conditions, then the foxes did not change the colour of the fur so the brown colour remains for all year long. The colour of fur changes when the change in climate occurs so if there is no change in the climate so change occur in fur colour of foxes.
