Answer:
a. insulation
Explanation:
The myelin sheath provides increased cell isolation (increased membrane resistance) because there are no membrane leakage channels in which there is myelin.
In addition to no membrane leakage channels, there is also virtually no type of membrane channel when there is myelin sheath (eg sodium and potassium pumps), which causes the cell a lower need for protein synthesis, or that is, less energy expenditure.
Answer:
from the intermembrane space to the matrix
Explanation:
In the electron transport chain (ETC), electrons flow from one protein complex to another. However, as this electrons are transfered, protons (H+) is built up from the intermembrane space of the mitochondria to the mitochondrial matrix.
Hence, according to this question, a proton gradient is formed when hydrogen ions (H+) are moving from the intermembrane space to the matrix of the mitochondrial.
C. The brain sends messages to the spinal cord
