What does a neuron look like?
A neuron comprises a cell body with a nucleus and cytoplasm, from which long thin hair-like parts emerge. Every neuron has a solitary long part called the axon, and some little, short expanded parts called dendrite. An individual nerve cell is known as a neuron, it very well might be up to a meter long.

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

A driver of a car travelling at 52 km h-1 applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5 s. Another driver going at 3 km h-1 in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10 s. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
