Answer:

d. dynamic receptor proteins

Explanation:

In the skin there are several receptor cells that can pick up various stimuli such as temperature, pressure and pain. They can be classified into mechanoreceptor, thermoreceptor and pain receptor cells.  When we are dealing with mechanical stimuli like pressure, mechanoreceptors respond to stimuli by sending the signal to the brain.

Light touches on the skin are received by nerve endings called Meissner corpuscles and Merkel discs. Already more intense pressures (such as a handshake) are received by receptors called Pacini corpuscles.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

ATP

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate, commonly known as ATP, is the chemical molecule that stores and provides/releases energy in cells. ATP is needed by the cells of every living organism and is obtained via a process called CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

Cellular respiration is the process whereby cells breakdown food molecules (sugar) to synthesize energy storing molecules called ATP. Hence, in every tube where cellular respiration is occuring, ATP is the produced molecule that provides energy.
