The correct answer is C. Perform certain physiological functions.

Explanation:

An entity is defined as a living organism only when it performs certain physiological functions or processes these include growing, obtaining energy or nutrients, reproducing, adapting, among others. These processes are essential because they allow a unicellular or multicellular living entity to live as, without this, the organism would die. Similarly, non-living elements such as rocks are classified as inanimate or non-alive as they are not composed of cells and doe not perform physiological functions. According to this, in order for a living organism to sustain its life, it must be able to perform certain physiological functions.

What are the steps and structures involved in the process of cellular respiration
kow [346]

Cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. Usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. It has four stages known as glycolysis, Link reaction, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. yup

At the molecular level, gene duplication often produces novelty in a lineage. This process provides another evolutionary pathway
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Bridgham et al. (2006) showed that the interaction between a steroid hormone (aldosterone-M) and its receptor (mineralocorticoid) evolved by Darwinian gradualism. In this work, the authors demonstrated  a primitive affinity between the hormone and its receptor that was initially present in chemically similar but more ancient ligands. This result has implications in understanding the association between gene duplication and the evolution of hormone signaling pathways. For example, in invertebrates, this work reinforces the importance of gene duplication in the existing interaction between paralogous glucocorticoid receptors and their receptor mineralocorticoid genes that were derived from duplication (Thornton 2001).

The publications above cited are the following:

J.T. Bridgham, S.M. Carroll, and J.W. Thornton (2006). Evolution of hormone-receptor complexity by molecular exploitation. Science, 312(5770), 97-101.
