Question 5 • Biology

Which best describes an axon with myelin and an axon without myelin?

Answer
A
Impulse transmission would be slower in the axon with myelin.
B
Impulse transmission would be faster in the axon with myelin.
C
A "no" response would occur in the axon with myelin.
D
An "all" response would occur in the axon with myelin.

Explanation

Myelin insulates the axon, allowing nerve impulses to travel quickly by jumping between gaps in the insulation. Therefore, impulse transmission is faster in an axon with myelin than in one without it. The best choice is “Impulse transmission would be faster in the axon with myelin.”
