Question

identify what is not considered as characteristic of neurons? they conduct impulses. they have extreme longevity. they are mitotic. they have an exceptionally high metabolic rate.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Neurons are specialized cells in the nervous system. They conduct electrical impulses (action potentials) to transmit information. They have extreme longevity as they can last a lifetime. They also have a high metabolic rate as they require a constant supply of oxygen and glucose. However, neurons are amitotic (not mitotic) in most cases. Once mature, most neurons do not undergo mitosis (cell division).

Answer:

They are mitotic.
