Both dolphins and whales still have their hip (pelvic) bones present. These bones connect and transfer the weight of the trunk to the lower limbs.
Thus, <em>the presence of the pelvic bone may indicate that whales had ancestors that walked on land</em>.
Answer:
B (active transport using ATP)
Explanation:
Movement of substances normally occur in the direction of concentration gradient/difference i.e. the difference in concentration of a substance across a membrane. Letting molecules diffuse or pass down their concentration gradient does not require energy but pumping those molecules against gradient requires energy in form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is called Active transport.
In order to perform certain cellular processes, cells need to move substances from their surroundings into the cell across their cell membrane. Moving this substances against the concentration gradient between the cell membrane and its extracellular fluid requires energy (ATP).
An example is the sodium-pottasium pump employed by animal cells in which they expend energy to move K+ molecules into the cell and Na+ molecules outside the cell against the concentration gradient of their cell membrane and extracellular solution.
I believe the correct term to fill in the blank would be stretch. Any material that would experience some tensional stress would cause a change in the length of the material or it stretches. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
