The myelin sheath covers most of the axon. It is important because it helps to protect the axon and speed up the neuron firing process by decreasing the amount of time in the axon.

How is a fish different from a jellyfish?
Korvikt [17]

Jellyfish are forever but fish ain't.

Plus, jellyfish have those tentacle like things attached to thier body and you might confuse em for octopus for that very reason..

but you should really evade confusing em as an octopus cuz octopus might take it as an insult and the next thing you know will be a Kraken taking your house down.. which is pretty tragic :'(

More nutritious food

Tastier food

Disease- and drought-resistant plants that require fewer environmental resources (such as water and fertilizer)

Less use of pesticides

Increased supply of food with reduced cost and longer shelf life

Faster growing plants and animals

Food with more desirable traits, such as potatoes that produce less of a cancer-causing substance when fried

The enzyme choline acetyltransferase catalyzes the reaction between acetyl-CoA and choline resulting in the formation of the neu
Nady [450]

Answer: Anterograde direction.

Explanation:

Choline acetyltransferase is an enzyme made in the body of a neuron and that needs to be transferred to the axon terminal to perform its function. Its function is to bind acetyl-CoA to choline to form the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

The movement toward the cell body is called retrograde transport and the movement toward the synapse is called anterograde transport. So, since it is produced in the body of the cell and it has to go to the axon terminals, the choline acetyltransferase is transported in the anterograde direction.  

This type of transport is responsible for the movement of organelles such as mitochondria, lipids, synaptic vesicles, proteins from a neuron cell body through the cytoplasm of its axon called the axoplasm. <u>Because axons can sometimes be meters long, neurons cannot rely on diffusion to carry products to the end of their axons</u>. Dynein is a motor protein involved in this retrograde axonal transport. Its light chains bind cargo, and its globular head regions bind the microtubule, "moving forward" along it.
