Wind can use sand as an abrasive to wear away rock.

Option (d);

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

Rocks are broken down into smaller pieces with sand or water flowing over the rocks at a great speed.
Many solid particles like soil, sand, mud, etc. move down the rocks by downhill or wind blowing in the downward direction and called wind abrasion.
Sand blown with the help of high speed, sandblast away the rocks.
Abrasion is a process in which sand is blown in downwards direction with the help of wind and that wears away the rock's surface over time.
Thus, wind uses sand as an abrasive to wear away a rock.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Cellular membranes or plasma membranes has many functions. Some of these include regulation of cellular transport, and responding to cellular signals or hormones.

<h2>Cellular Transport</h2>

The plasma membrane is made up of the <u>phospholipid bilayer with embedded transmembrane proteins</u>. This makes the cell membrane <u>semi-permeable</u>. Movements of substances depend on the composition of the molecules e.g. glucose and amino acids, as needed by the pancreatic cells. These are larger and uncharged molecules and can't pass freely through the membrane so they utilize the transmembrane proteins via attaching to carrier proteins. This is called <em>passive transport</em>. On the other hand, in <em>active transport</em>, <u>ATP is used</u> to transfer molecules, like Hydrogen, from a low to high electrochemical gradient.

Other kinds of cellular transport are:

Osmosis and diffusion
Endocytosis
Exocytosis

<h2>Cellular Signalling</h2>

The cell membrane is able to signal other neighboring cells by utilizing complex proteins. These proteins may take form as receptors or markers.

<h3>Membrane Receptors</h3>

They act as receivers of extracellular signals and spark intracellular processes. These receive signals from hormones, growth factors, etc.

<h3> Membrane Markers </h3>

These allow the cells to identify each other and respond if this cell is needs further development as in organ development, or a foreign body to the system.
