The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Unipolar Nerve Cells**: - Unipolar nerve cells are a type of neuron characterized by having a single process extending from the cell body (soma). 2. **Identifying the Structure**: - In unipolar neurons, this single process bifurcates into two branches: one that functions as an axon and the other that acts like a dendrite. However, traditionally, unipolar neurons are described as having no true dendrites. 3. **Characteristics of Unipolar Neurons**: - These neurons are primarily found in invertebrates, such as insects. - The cell body of unipolar neurons is often located at the periphery of the organism. 4. **Electrically Inactive Part**: - The part of the neuron that does not participate in electrical signaling is considered electrically inactive. 5. **Choosing the Correct Option**: - Given the options: - A) Nerve cell with one dendron - B) Nerve cell with many dendrons - C) Nerve cell without dendron - D) None of the above - The correct answer is C) Nerve cell without dendron, as unipolar neurons do not possess dendrites in the traditional sense. ### Conclusion: Unipolar nerve cells are defined as nerve cells that lack dendrons, making option C the correct choice. ---
