This response is part of the reflex arc. Reflex is an involuntary, fast response to stimuli and it includes the sensory (afferent) neuron that forms a synapse inside the gray matter of spinal cord with a motor (efferent) neuron of the effector.

Answer:

Myelin sheath

Explanation:

Neurons are covered with a fatty sheath called myelin sheath. The nodes of Ranvier are the part of the neuron surface where the myelin sheath is absent. In the presence of myelin sheath, the nerve impulse jumps from one node to another node which in turn speeds up its conduction.

The nerve impulse is not carried to the entire length of the axon in the presence of myelin sheath.

Below are three different scenarios for comparison. For each scenario, decide if it represents greater or less entropy and great
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Entropy is characterized as a level of irregularity or disorder in a system. More the disorder more is the Entropy. The greatest entropy is accomplished when the system is in equilibrium.  

In a similar manner, stability is legitimately relative to entropy. Therefore, more entropy, more is the stability and the other way around.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "it has high face validity".

Explanation:

Face validity in a test is a very broad concept that simply refers to whether the test appears to be suitable to report what it claims to do. It is important to notice that high face validity in a test only means that the judgers of the test agree that the test is suitable, but it doesn't mean that the test is reliable for the patient and for the therapist. In this example, Kristoff should take other tests and examinations before he could be sure that he is not suffering from depression, particularly because he has many symptoms that indicate that he is depressed.

There are 3 parts of cell theory: all living things are made up of cells, all cells come from pre existing cells, and the cell is the basic unit of life. S<em>ince Schleiden and Schwann’s experiments proved that certain tissues were made up of cells (and those tissues are from living organisms), it most closely relates to the part that all living things are made up of cells. Hope this helps! (Also I apologize for the text going italic I’m not sure why it happened)</em>

Glucose provides energy for cells. Different cells have different mechanisms for glucose intake. Intestinal cells contain protei
valkas [14]

Answer:

From the given information, the transport of glucose in blood across the red blood cells takes place by facilitated diffusion, that involves the spontaneous passive-transport with the help of trans-membrane proteins or transporter proteins to move the ions or molecules down the concentration gradient.

While the transport of glucose in intestines take place via active transport mechanism. It takes place from gut into intestines. It occurs against the concentration gradient with the help of energy molecules like proteins.
