<span> In unmyelinated axons, the action potential (nerve impulse) travels continuously along the axons and thus, the conduction of nerve impulse is slower. The loss of myelin sheath is called demyelination and is the hallmark of some neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis or acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Demyelination interrupts signals between the brain and other parts of the body and it includes symptoms like loss of vision/hearing,</span> <span>blurriness in the central visual field, double vision, weakness..</span>
Answer:
B. foaming agents or plastics releasing chloroflourocarbons
Explanation:
Causes : chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs), halons, and other compounds deplete the ozone layer. These chemicals are found in cleaning agents, aerosols, insulating foam, and refrigerants. CFCs and halons break down into chlorine and bromine which in turn destroy the ozone layer.
Cellular respiration is the cellular process that begins with the breakdown of organic compounds (such as glucose) and continues with turning the resulting pyruvic acid <span>into a waste product and two molecules of ATP.</span>
Explanation:
1. A filter flask is made up of heavy, transparent glass and suction pump at one side. This kind of flask is used for filtering or distillation of substances and is not the best option for measuring as it is not accurate.
2. An Erlenmeyer flask is a conical flask that is best suitable for titration and for storing chemicals.
3. Volumetric flasks are the best kinds for preparing accurate volumes. They are used for making accurate measurements of solutions.
Answer:
1. It is a highly contagious disease transmitted from person to person and thereby it is expected that infected persons carried the virus to America
2. Microcephaly is a serious birth defect where a baby’s head is much smaller than expected.
3. Occipital bone. CNS malformations: ventriculomegaly, parenchymal and periventricular calcifications and cortical migration anomalies
Explanation:
The Zika virus (Flaviviridae) causes a contagious disease and it is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which are also the main vectors of the dengue virus. Microcephaly is a condition where the baby’s brain has not developed properly during pregnancy, and it has been shown that this birth defect is associated with the Zika virus. During 2015 in Brazil, the incidence of infants with microcephaly born from mothers that contracted this disease during pregnancy was higher, thereby suggesting an association between both conditions. Baby health problems associated with Zika infection include microcephaly (skull partially collapsed), joints with limited motion, etc.
