Myelin sheath. It is a layer of lipids produced by Schwaan cells around the axon of neurons. The sheath increased the rate of electric impulse transmission through the axon, several folds. This process is called saltatory conduction where impulse ostensibly hops from a node to another.

Whats are the pros and cons of a endoskeleton?
Softa [21]

Well, an endoskeleton is an internal skeleton, like humans have. Pro: Bones do not get broke as easily, since they are inside of the body. Bones that break also heal more quickly in an endoskeleton, since they have tissue and blood surrounding it and transferring nutrients. Con: The flesh can get easily damaged. There is no shedding with endoskeletons, so a new skeleton cannot be grown in the event of an injury.

Approximately how quickly do the Earth's crustal plates move? A. A few centimeters a year B. A few centimeters a month C. A few
aliya0001 [1]

The correct answer is - A. A few centimeters a year.

Earth's crustal plates move very slowly, between 2 cm and 5 cm (depending on the plate) annually. This is the reason why it takes millions of years for them to significantly change their position, and with it the appearance of our planet. These crustal plates are slowly moving around the planet because they are powered by flow in the interior mantle.

Why is ATP known as the energy currency?<br> 5 line answer plz
guapka [62]

Answer:

ATP is commonly referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell, as it provides readily releasable energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups. ... As a result, cells within the human body depend upon the hydrolysis of 100 to 150 moles of ATP per day to ensure proper functioning.In addition to providing energy, the breakdown of ATP through hydrolysis serves a broad range of cell functions, including signaling and DNA/RNA synthesis. ATP synthesis utilizes energy obtained from multiple catabolic mechanisms, including cellular respiration, beta-oxidation, and ketosis.
