Answer:

A fish breathes by first opening its mouth to gulp water in and then opening its gill flaps to let water out.

Explanation:

Gills are feathery organs full of blood vessels. A fish breathes by taking water into its mouth and forcing it out through the gill passages. As water passes over the thin walls of the gills, dissolved oxygen moves into the blood and travels to the fish's cells.

Motor (efferent) neurons carry information _____ the brain whereas sensory (afferent) neurons carry information ______ the brain
Norma-Jean [14]
Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. They are the links so that information could be processed as electrochemical signals. There are three fundamental kinds of neurons in our body:

1. Motor neurons - they carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to the body parts such as muscle movement
2. Sensory neurons -  they carry signals from other body parts to the CNS
3. Interneurons - interlinking neurons between the brain and the spinal cord

Thus, the correct and complete statement above should be

<span><em>Motor (efferent) neurons carry information </em><em>from </em><em>the brain whereas sensory (afferent) neurons carry information</em><em> to</em><em> the brain.</em></span>

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>
