maksim [4K]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Metamorphic rocks are harder and denser than their parent rocks because they started off the same as their parent rocks but at some point were met with extreme heat and pressure. These conditions melted and compressed the parent rocks so much that it created metamorphic rock that was extremely hard and dense. This is why metamorphic rocks are usually found deep under the Earth's surface.

Compared to unmyelinated axons, myelinated axons?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

A. Conduct impulses faster.

Explanation:

Myelinated axons are called that way due to the myelin sheath that surrounds them. Myelin has an insulation property so electrical impulses cannot travel through it, except on certain sites called Nodes of Ranvier. In order for electrical impulses to be conducted on myelinated axons they must "jump" from one Node of Ranvier to the next, and thus conduction is faster. This is called saltatory conduction.
