Conductor

In the context of biology, a conductor refers to a structure or substance that allows the passage of a flow of electrical current, heat, or sound. In the case of biology, the most relevant type of conductor is typically related to the flow of electrical signals in living organisms.

Study Guide

1. Definition: Understand the meaning of a conductor in the context of biology and how it relates to the passage of electrical signals in living organisms.
2. Examples: Familiarize yourself with examples of conductors in biology, such as the nervous system in animals and the movement of ions in plant cells.
3. Function: Explore the role of conductors in facilitating communication within and between cells, and how this contributes to the overall functioning of an organism.
4. Comparison: Compare and contrast the properties of conductors with those of insulators, and understand how these differences are relevant to biological processes.
5. Impact: Consider the significance of conductors in the context of human health and disease, and how disruptions in conductivity can lead to physiological disorders.
