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.

Proton pumps embedded in the cell membrane use ATP to move hydrogen ions across the membrane. Which of the following best descri
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Although protons resemble other positive ions such as Na+ and K+ in their movement across membranes, in some respects they are unique. Hydrogen atoms are by far the most abundant type of atom in living organisms; they are plentiful not only in all carbon-containing biological molecules, but also in the water molecules that surround them. The protons in water are highly mobile, flickering through the hydrogen-bonded network of water molecules by rapidly dissociating from one water molecule to associate with its neighbor, Protons are thought to move across a protein pump embedded in a lipid bilayer in a similar way: they transfer from one amino acid side chain to another, following a special channel through the protein.

Choose the structures that most directly provide nutrients and remove wastes from osteocytes in compact bone.
Ber [7]
I had to look for the missing options of this question and here is my answer:

Osteocyte is the term that describes the cells of the bone. These cells are formed in the mesenchyme. Once the bone matures, the processes then take place inside the Lacunae and the Canaliculi, respectively. Therefore, we can say that the structure that allows the provision of nutrients and removal of wastes from osteocytes would be the canaliculi.
