Answer:

a. are acid participants in, or by-products of, cellular metabolism

Explanation:

cellular metabolism is the process in which several chemical recation stakes place in body. there aretwo type of cellular metabolism - catabolism and anabolsim, which serves for several body functions.

During the chemical reaction of cellular metabolism, many acids are produced which are called metabolic acids. Several metabolic pathways produces different acids such as carboxylic acid, citric acid and amino acid. All the metabolic acid maintains body's functional activities,if any case acid formation increases it causes metabloic acidosis.

There have been many reports of environmental improvements being seen around the world due to self isolation orders. What do you
kaheart [24]
Though the lockdown has undoubtedly had somewhat of a negative impact on certain acpects of our society, there’s no denying that our environment has seen certain benefits since we’ve tucked ourselves away in our homes. According to the Earth Observatory at NASA, satellites have detected decreased levels of air pollution as well as carbon monoxide emission. This is attributed to the closure of most industries as well as the lack of cars and other transportation on the road. Though it isn’t just the air we’re beginning to notice changes in- for the first time in a very long time, the canals in Venice are crystal clear. With fewer boats and tourists about, the water is free of pollution for the first time in centuries. With these facts in mind, I can safely say that I believe the lockdown has definitely positively benefited the environment, but it’s up to us to keep it that way once it ends.

Where does the majority of stem growth in a plant occur?
Xelga [282]
The answer for the question is the Apical meristem. 
Growth in plants occurs as the stems and roots lengthen. Some plants, especially those that are woody, also increase in thickness during their life span. The increase in length of the shoot and the root is referred to as primary growth. It is the result of cell division in the shoot apical meristem.

Would strontium-90 be useful for determining the age of fossils
netineya [11]
False. Strontium 90 has a half life of only 30 years, and as millions of years pass, about the time fossils have been around, most if not all of any strontium would have decayed.
