Wolf spiders don't rely on webs to catch their food. Instead they hunt and ambush other organisms and have very keen eyesight. When a wolf spider detects potential prey, its nervous system responds.

Question

Which structure in a wolf spider's cells transmits signals from one nerve cell to the next?

Responses

cytosol
cytosol

lysosome
lysosome

Golgi body
Golgi body

cell membrane

Answer 1

The structure in a wolf spider's cells that transmits signals from one nerve cell to the next is primarily the cell membrane.

The cell membrane, specifically through structures called synapses, allows for the transmission of signals between neurons. When a nerve cell is activated, it releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, which then bind to receptors on the adjacent nerve cell's membrane, facilitating signal transmission.
