The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by myelin sheath

thickness and internode distance.

Axon are structures in the neuron which is involved in the conduction of

impulses away from the cell body. Axons which have myelin sheath conduct

impulses faster than those without it.

Axons which have thicker myelin sheath and longer internode distance will

increase the conduction velocity of an axon and vice versa.

kow [346]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat energy is liberated is known as an exothermic reaction.

For example, $A \rightarrow B + C + Heat$

In an exothermic reaction, energy of reactants is more than the energy of products.

This means that potential energy of products is less than the potential energy of reactants.

Thus, we can conclude that in the reaction $A \rightarrow B + C + heat$ , the potential energy of the products is less than that of the reactant.
