In white matter, the most abundant structures are myelinated nerve fibers, which are composed of axons bundled together with their protective myelin sheaths. These nerve fibers facilitate rapid transmission of signals between different regions of the nervous system.

Would you expect the biomass to be higher in a rainforest or dessert?

Biomass would be higher in a rainforest due to the abundant plant life and vegetation that thrives in the moist environment, leading to a greater accumulation of organic matter. Deserts, on the other hand, have low biomass levels due to the scarcity of water and limited plant growth.


Why is gray matter gray and white matter white?

All nerve tissue is grey by default due to a lack of any pigmented organelles as they would be almost usless. The white matter on the other hand is white because of an insulator wrapped around it called myelin which is made of fat. The grey matter is the cell bodies of the neurones ans so there is little need for insulation but the white matter is the axons and thus and insulator is present to speed up the action potential.


In a eukaryotic cell specialized for secretion of hormones which internal organelles would you expect to be particularly abundant?

In a eukaryotic cell specialized for hormone secretion, you would expect the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum to be particularly abundant. These organelles are involved in the production, processing, and packaging of hormones before they are released from the cell. Additionally, secretory vesicles would also be abundant as they are responsible for transporting the hormones to the cell membrane for release.

What macromolecules are abundant in albumen and make it viscous?

Proteins are the macromolecules that are abundant in albumen (egg white) and are responsible for its viscosity. In particular, ovalbumin is the primary protein that contributes to the thick, viscous consistency of albumen when cooked.
