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.

Please help I need to turn in this paper asap the paper

Atoms gain electrons to form anions.

Atoms lose electrons to form cations.

Back in middle school, my chemistry teacher taught me a good way to remember whether an ion was a cation or an anion. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positive, and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative.

Cation sort of sounds like “cat,” which is positive (Yay! Cats!).

Anions, on the other hand, sounds like “onion,” which is negative (Ew! Onions!).

There’s other ways of memorizing it, but this way was the easiest for me.

By studying genetics, scientists have learned that _______ control how organisms develop.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

C. genes

Explanation:

Genes are basic physical & functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA or we can say that they are segments of DNA which have instructions to synthesize bio molecules known as proteins and these protein molecules are further responsible for characteristics of an organism. Genes are located at a specific location in our chromosomes and the location is known as locus. Almost all the characteristics which an organism has depend upon the kind of information they have in their genes.

During developmental stages, how an organism will develop totally depends upon what kind of proteins are being synthesized at that time and as already explained, protein synthesis totally depends upon type of genes present in the organisms.
