<h2>The correct answer is: d).</h2>

Explanation:

  • Active transport can be defined as the process by which molecules are transported from a region where the concentration of the molecules is low to a region where the concentration of molecule is high across a selectively permeable membrane.
  • Here, the molecules are transported up or opposite to their concentration gradient and so the process requires the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate.
  • In the given question, it is said that the concentration of a polar molecule is high inside the cell initially.
  • But still with time the concentration of the polar molecule continues to increase inside the cell.
  • This is accompanied by the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP as concentration of ATP inside the cell is found to drop gradually.
  • Hence, the given hypothesis describes the process of an Active Transport.

damaskus [11]
<span>This is a barrier island. These typically are formed as a way of protecting the mainland from storms and erosional forces. In addition, barrier islands typically form parallel to the mainland and in chains. These islands can allow wetlands to form once enough sand has built up near the shoreline.</span>

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Neurons have stable, relatively unchanging internal environments.

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cells is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Neurons consists of the dendrites, axon, cell body and different cell organelles.

The neurons have mitochondria that meets the high ATP requirement and and consume more oxygen. The network of rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes produce large number of proteins in neuron. The internal environment is never stable and gets changed as the nerve impulse transmission occur through the neuron. The membrane potential of the neuron gets changed and changes its internal environment.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
