In the higher excited state, chlorophyll is extremely unstable; it rapidly gives up some of its energy to the surroundings as heat, and enters the lowest excited state, the excited chlorophyll has four alternative pathways for disposing of its available energy: fluorescence, Heat loss, energy transfer, photochemistry; all process takes place in which wavelength,

In multiple sclerosis, the myelin sheaths around the axons of the brain and spinal cord are damaged and demyelination results. How does this disease manifest at the level of the action potential?

 I) Action potentials move in the opposite direction on the axon.

 II) Action potentials move more slowly along the axon.

 III) No action potentials are transmitted.
