When neurons "fire," the first thing that happens is that sodium ions enter the cell. this does not require an input of energy.

Answer;

One can infer that membrane transport proteins are required in order for neurons to fire.

Explanation;

Transport proteins are proteins that transport substances across biological membranes. Transport proteins are found within the membrane itself, where they form a channel, or a carrying mechanism, to allow their substrate to pass from one side to the other.

-Transport proteins transport materials such as; ions such as sodium and potassium; sugars such as glucose; proteins and messenger molecules; and many more. In neurons, they  play a fundamental role in the functioning of nerve cells. These transporters, a third class of membrane transport proteins, move a wide variety of ions and molecules across cell membranes.

5. a very common trait in humans and frequently used to explain X-linked disorders.[8] Between seven and ten percent of men and 0.49% to 1% of women are affected. Its commonness may be explained by its relatively benign nature. It is also known as daltonism.

6.Females with one copy of the mutated gene are carriers. X-linked inheritance means that the gene causing the trait or the disorder is located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome.

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans
Charra [1.4K]
<span>The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy. 

More Explainable: </span><span>The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy. </span>
