Answer:

d. chromatin

Explanation:

Chromatin is a complex of DNA, RNA, and proteins that is present in the eukaryotic cell nucleus in the form of a long, spaghetti-like filament. Histones are the main proteins that make up the chromatins.

Chromatin is usually divided into two categories according to their condition: eucromatin and heterochromatin.

Eucromatin: When the chromatin filaments are less condensed it means that it has active DNA, ie the cell is able to "read" the content of this genetic material.
Heterochromatin: The filaments are condensed, coiled together in a tangle. In this case, the DNA is inactive because cells at that time are unable to encode the condensed genetic material.

Answer:

C. They produce and use adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Explanation:

ATP is the energy currency for the cells of all living beings. It is produced by aerobic or anaerobic respiration in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Complete or incomplete oxidation of nutrients obtains ATP. ATP is used by cells to perform all the vital functions. ATP synthesis occurs when phosphate is added to ADP during substrate-level phosphorylation or oxidative phosphorylation. Hydrolysis of ATP includes the release of terminal phosphate and lots of energy which in turn is used by cells.
