Question
Chapter 39, Problem 1AC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason if the axons of human cord neurons are unmyelinated, than spinal cord would become larger or smaller.
Introduction:
Spinal cord is a long thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissues, which supports the cells that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem. The spinal cord consists of nerves that carry impulses between the brain and rest of the body.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason a person would move faster or slower.
Introduction:
Axon is the nerve fibre that helps in the conduction of electrical impulses. Axons are the part of neuron. A neuron is a cell that carries electrical impulses. Neurons are called as the basic units of the nervous system and it plays important role in brain.

Biology Question
✓ Details
Draw a protein that is embedded in a membrane (a transmembrane protein), label the lipid bilayer and the protein. Identify the areas of
the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic.
Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second
transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the
correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.
drawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked. Thank you.

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
