Identify the ODD term in each set and name the CATEGORY to which the remaining three belong. Example: glucose, starch, cellulose, calcium — Odd term: calcium; Category: the others are different types of carbohydrates.
Axon, Dendron, Photon, Cyton.
Topic: Parts of a neuron
Answer
Odd term: PHOTON. Category of the others: PARTS OF A NEURON.
Axon, dendron and cyton are the parts of a NEURON: CYTON — the cell body containing the nucleus DENDRON — the branched processes that RECEIVE impulses (their fine branches are the dendrites) AXON — the single long process that CARRIES impulses away
A PHOTON is a particle of LIGHT — a term from physics, with no place in the nervous system.
THE TRAP is the shared ending. All four words end in -ON, which invites you to group them by sound rather than meaning. Read what each word actually names.
