Answer:

The process requires energy that is provided by ATP.

Explanation:

Neurons may be defined as the structural and functional unit of the nervous system, Neurons helps in the transmission of nerve impulse and sends information towards and away from the central nervous system.

Neurons also uses sodium potassium pumps to pump out sodium and pump in the potassium ions inside the cell. The movement of ions is the active process that requires energy in the form of ATP. ATP hydrolysis is important for the movement of ions.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Mason drew the cladogram shown. Which statements best describes the cladogram? Select three options. (HURRY I WILL MARK BRAINLIE
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: Correct options B, D and E.

Explanation:

In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we have a division, one branch goes to fish and the other goes to a division (a division means a common ancestor)

Then the fish are the most primitive (being directly related to the first ancestor)., E is true.

We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 separations (the ancestor in common is 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two separations (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.

So D is also true.

We also can see that the only pair that has only one ancestor in common are birds and reptiles, so the ones that are most closely related are birds and reptiles. B is also true,
