Adaptations such as myelinated axons and axons with large diameters would be most useful for which type of organisms?
A) Sedentary animals
B) Slow-moving burrowers
C) Animals with toxic stings
D) Animals with protective shells
E) Fast-moving predator or prey animals

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelinated axons and axons with large diameters allow for faster conduction of nerve impulses, which would be most useful for organisms that need to quickly react to their environment or escape from predators, such as fast-moving predator or prey animals. Sedentary animals, slow-moving burrowers, animals with toxic stings, and animals with protective shells would not benefit as much from these adaptations.
