Like all cells,the neurons' internal organization dictates its function.Neurons have relatively many mitochondria,an extensive network of rough endoplasmic reticulum and many clusters of ribosomes.These cellular features indicate all of the following EXCEPT ________.
A) neurons produce many proteins
B) neurons must meet a high demand for ATP
C) neurons have a relatively high consumption of oxygen
D) neurons have stable, relatively unchanging internal environments

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of many mitochondria and extensive network of rough endoplasmic reticulum in neurons indicate that they produce a lot of energy and proteins, respectively. Additionally, the high consumption of oxygen indicates the need for aerobic energy production. However, the stable and unchanging internal environment is not indicated by these cellular features. Neurons frequently undergo changes in response to various stimuli, indicating their ability to adapt to changing environments.
