Biology

The best answer is D.

In active transport, molecules move against a concentration gradient from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. This happens a lot in neurons. The membrane proteins are constantly pumping ions in and out  to get the membrane of the neuron ready to transmit electrical impulses.

In active transport , energy is required to move molecules across the cell membrane. Carrier proteins are needed for this e.g. proteins of the GLUT family which transport glucose molecules across the cell membrane. Carrier proteins are very specific. GLUT proteins will only move glucose molecules and not sodium or calcium. There are hundreds of types of carrier proteins.

WILL GIVE THE BRAINLEST <br><br>Explain why the answer you chose is correct.​
Mademuasel [1]

For one thing based off of process of elimination we know that both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane, and a nucleus. Therefore we are left with cytoplasm and cell wall. According to the question we are most likely looking for something in the animal or plant cell that they don’t have in common with each other. Therefore, the answer is cell wall because an animal cell doesn’t have a cell wall, but a plant cell does. The cell wall can also make it more rigid!
