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: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is osmosis.
Osmosis is defined as the movement of solvent (like water) from a region where the concentration of solute is lower to a region where the concentration of solute is higher though a semipermeable membrane.
In other words, it is the water movement from an area where its ( water ) concentration is higher to an area where its concentration is lower.
This process does not require any energy as water is moving along the concentration gradient.
Vesicles sometimes fuse with lysosomes in the process of endocytosis. Endocytosis absorbs molecules by r<span>emoving portions of the plasma membrane and taking them inside the cell.</span>
Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.[1][2][3]
The discoverer of genetics is Gregor Mendel, a late 19th-century scientist and Augustinian friar. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene.
Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still primary principles of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied within the context of the cell, the organism (e.g. dominance), and within the context of a population. Genetics has given rise to a number of subfields, including epigenetics and population genetics. Organisms studied within the broad field span the domains of life (archaea, bacteria, and eukarya).
Genetic processes work in combination with an organism's environment and experiences to influence development and behavior, often referred to as nature versus nurture. The intracellular or extracellular environment of a cell or organism may switch gene transcription on or off. A classic example is two seeds of genetically identical corn, one placed in a temperate climate and one in an arid climate. While the average height of the two corn stalks may be genetically determined to be equal, the one in the arid climate only grows to half the height of the one in the temperate climate due to lack of water and nutrients in its environment.
Answer:
The correct answer is C) arachnoid mater.
Explanation:
Arachnoid mater, along with pia mater and dura mater, form the <u>meninges</u>, a very thick membrane that protects the brain and the spinal cord. The arachnoid mater is in the middle of the other two layers and it is very important since it holds the <u>cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)</u> in its interior. Arachnoid mater has finger-like projections that enter the dural venous sinuses and are called <u>arachnoid villi</u>. These villi are responsible for the diffusion of CSF into the blood.
