MYP-3_Quiz-2_Unit-1

The correct direction of the neural impulse within one neuron.

• Axon Terminal to Dendrite
• Dendrite to Axon Terminal
• Cell Body to Axon
• Axon Terminal to Cell Body

This part of the neuron receives chemical messages from the neurotransmitters of other neurons.

• Axon Terminal
• Dendrites
• Myelin Sheath
• Cell Body

A chemical produced by neurons that carries messages to other neurons

• myelin sheath
• neurotransmitter
• axon
• axon terminal

The tiny gap between neurons where nerve impulses are sent from one neuron to another.  It is where communication occurs between an axon and dendrite

• synapse
• axon terminal
• impulse
• myelin

What is another name for a nerve cell?

• Muscle Fiber
• Connective Tissue
• Impulse
• Neuron

What do Dendrites do?

• Receives information from other neurons via neurotransmitters

• Produces fatty tissue for the Myelin Sheath

• Sends information to the next cell

• Controls the speed of electrical signal through the axon

What do Axon Terminals do?

• Receives information from other neurons

• Produces fatty tissue for the Myelin Sheath

• Sends information to the next cell

• Controls the speed of electrical signal through the axon

• A plant reproducing

• An animal's response to a stimulus

• A prokaryote's response to a stimulus

What is gravitropism/geotropism?

• The movement of a plant in response to gravity

• The movement of a plant in response to earthquakes

• The movement of bacteria in response to changes in temperature

• The movement of plants towards water

What is phototropism?

• The movement of plants towards light

• The movement of plants away from light

• The movement of plants in response to infrared light

• The movement of plants towards water
