Which group diatoms can move around the best?

Most diatoms are non-motile, simply being carried by currents and turbulence - however, some types move via flagellation (the swimming motion of small hair-like features called 'flagella'). Flagella are projections from the cell body which are moved back and forth (flagellated) to provide motion. Identical in structure to flagella (but somewhat shorter in length), cilia are present in mammals primarily to facilitate the movement of fluids and mucus across tissues/membranes.


If a child is watching a favorite sibling getting scolded for misbehavior which type of neuron is likely to be activated in an empathetic response to this observation?

In short - there is no one type of neuron that would be activated; there would be many types across a number of regions such as those involved in appreciation (temporal association areas, occipital cortices, prefrontal areas) as well limbic areas involved in emotion (amygdala, orbifrontal cortex, raphe nuclei, locus coerules and the hippocampus). It's the Mirror Neuron

The ridge is there because your palate formed in two separate pieces and the ridge (or raphe) is where the two joined together.Definition: The line of union of 2 contiguous, bilaterally symmetrical structures.

What does the palatine raphe do in your mouth?

The palatine raphe is a ridge of tissue that runs along the midline of the hard palate in the mouth. It serves as an attachment point for the muscles and tissues of the palate, contributing to the structural integrity of the oral cavity. This anatomical feature also plays a role in the function of swallowing and speech by helping to maintain the shape of the palate. Additionally, the palatine raphe helps to separate the oral cavity from the nasal cavity.
