Summary Introduction

To identify:

The different parts of the neuron.

Introduction:

Neurons are the basic unit of the central nervous system. These cells are the main sites for the transmission of the signals from the receptor to the effector cells. There are different types of neurons based on their signal transmission. The two neurons are sensory neuron that receives the signals and the motor neuron that transmits the signals in response to the impulse.

Explanation of Solution

Pictorial representation: Fig 1 represents the different parts of the neuron.

Fig 1: Neuron

The nucleus is present in the cell body that comprises the genetic material in it. The nucleolus might be involved in the biogenesis of the ribosomes; it is also responsible for the growth of the neurons. The portion of the neuron cell where the myelin sheath is not present in known as Nodes of Ranvier. These sites are involved in electrical impulses in the neurons. Myelin sheath is the covering present on the axon. The covering usually protects the nerves by acting as the electrical insulator. It also prevents the depolarization of the neuron. The signal is first received by the dendritic branches. The surface of the branches contains certain receptors that further transmit the signals. The neuron contains the cell body that is comprised of cell organelles along with the nucleus.

Conclusion

The image indicates the different parts in a neuron; they are cell body, nucleus, nucleolus, dendritic branches, and myelin sheath.

Please finish the chart at the bottom. Some of the answers have been filled in.
9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…
