Answer:
Multiple Sclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which myelin sheath of nerve cells of brain and spinal cord are damaged.
Explanation:
Cause:- (Exact cause of inflammation is not known)
- But damage is caused due to attack by autoimmune cells or antibodies against myelin sheath.
Types of tissues attack:-
- Oligodendrocytes and myelin sheath is damaged and stripped away from axon and the process is known as demyelination.
- Myelin sheaths are made up of fatty tissues and help in transmission of electric impulse.
Result of immune system attack:-
- Damaged myelin sheath stop forming whIte matter of central nervous system.
- Hence disrupt coordinating communication between different brain regions.
Signs and symptoms:- vary from person to person
- Diminished eyesight.
- Disrupt motor coordination.
- Weak sensory perception.
- Fatigue and dizziness.
- Speech disorder.
- Muscle weakness and spasticity.
- Difficulty in urination and stool.
Diagnosis and treatment:-
- Diagnosis include MRI T2 findings and cerebrospinal fluid specific oligoclonal bands.

Answer:
Protection
Explanation:
The plasma membrane, or the cell membrane, provides protection for a cell. It also provides a fixed environment inside the cell. And that membrane has several different functions. One is to transport nutrients into the cell and also to transport toxic substances out of the cell.
Answer:
B. reduces the amount of water vapor
Explanation:
Tropical rainforests is an area of vegetation comprising of predominantly trees. Trees play a major part in sustaining the environment, and hence, the destruction of trees will result in certain negative effects or impacts on the environment.
One of the effects of destroying rainforests according to the options in the question, is the reduction in the amount of water vapor. Trees in rainforests contribute to the addition of water vapor to the atmosphere via transpiration (loss of water through their stomata). Hence, destruction of tropical rain forests will reduce the amount of water vapor.
