The correct answer is A. maintaining homeostasis.
Homeostasis is a term referring to an organisms continuous process of maintaining and auto-regulating the conditions of its internal environment. Variables such as pH, temperature, and fluid balance need to be at optimal conditions in order for the organism to function properly.
In this example, the phosphate buffer system permits the organisms to maintain a constant pH in their intracellular fluid. This is one of the organism's homeostatic mechanisms.
<span>The main difference of renewable and non-renewable resources lies in the capacity of
the environment to replenish itself. Renewable resources are resources that can
be easily replenished by the environment over a short period of time, while
non-renewable resources take more time. <span>
Examples
of renewable resources are solar energy, harnessing the sun's power that shines
day to day. Wind energy that exists naturally is also a renewable source.
Geothermal energy, heat coming from the center of the Earth, and Biofuels,
fuels made from living organisms, are all renewable energy.
<span>Non-renewable
energy resources are the fuels we use in our cars, minerals from the soil,
coal, among others are supplies that also come from Earth. These are all materials that might take a long time (probably millions of years)
to be fully restored. </span>

It occurs only in cells in the reproductive structures of organisms.
Meiosis only occurs in the reproductive cells, producing gametes with half of the genetic information as the parent cell.
The expected result of this poison on secondary active transport is that the poison will prevents the conformational changes which are necessary for the pump to perform its function, thus preventing it from been able to carry out transportation of ions in and out of the cell.
Gulls, crows and herons are all opportunists. They'll eat just about anything that they can get their beaks on. That includes fiddler crabs.
