Mix the reagents and record the time taken for a specific observation, e.g. disappearance of colour which is characteristic for this chemical reaction. We repeat this step and add more manganese(II) ions;...

Root hair cells have a very large surface area due to them being very long and having hair like projections. This allows more active transport of mineral ions to take place so the plant is able to take in...

Motor neurones have a myelin sheath made of Shwann cells. It's an electrical insulator meaning action potentials cannot pass through them. Along the axon there are gaps where there's no myelin sheath, cal...
