Answer:
d) passage of a solute against its concentration gradient
Explanation:
When a solute is transported against its concentration gradient, the cells use metabolic energy. To move a substance from the region of its lower concentration to that of its higher concentration, the energy of ATP hydrolysis is utilized. These types of transport mechanisms are called active transports. If ATP hydrolysis is inhibited in a cell, it would not be able to perform the uphill movement of solutes due to the lack of any source of energy to drive the process.
The correct option is D.
Wind has some advantages which makes it suitable as a source of energy but it also possesses some disadvantages which reduces its potentials as a viable source of energy. For instance, large expanse of land will be needed to construct wind farms and this may not be feasible especially in populated areas. Another disadvantage is that electricity production will be depended on the availability of wind, when there is no wind, there will be no electricity.
The author assumes that the question can be answered by applying principles of anatomy, physics and evolutionary biology. First reason he suggests is that cats are small and they have a favourable mass-surface area ratio. Next, he suggests that cats have soft tissues that absorb the shock and they land on all four limbs, dividing the shock. This is because of their body shape and its centre of gravity. He says that felines have this kind of body structure (that canines lack) because years of falling from trees etc. has evolved their body in this way.
