Answer:

The correct answer would be the active transport across the cell membrane.

The main functions of the cell membrane are a barrier, regulates transport (passive, facilitated, and active), the presence of receptors et cetera.

Only active transport (such as sodium pump, calcium pumps et cetera) requires the input of energy (ATP) for proper functioning. It uses energy to pump substances against the concentration gradient.

Thus, only active transport would be affected if less cellular energy is available.

A molecule that has regions of partial positive and partial negative charge
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

A) polar

Explanation:

Polar molecules contains  partial positive and partial negative charge as in all polar molecules two atoms have unequal sharing electron. Due to unequal sharing of electrons, one atom that attracts valence electrons strongly gains positive charge and other gain negative charge.

For example water, water is a polar molecule having partial negative and partial positive charge because the oxygen atom in water attracts electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms.

Hence, the correct answer is "A) polar".
