Cellular respiration
Explanation:
The energy animals need for their life functions are released when their cells carry out cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration is a metabolic process by which living organisms breaks down organic molecules using oxygen especially glucose to produce energy and gives off carbon dioxide and water in the process.
It is the reverse of photosynthesis.
During this process, chemical energy stored in food substances are released and converted to heat energy.
The process takes place in the mitochondria of a cell.

Answer:
The correct option is A. Steroid hormones exert their action by entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of a gene.
Explanation:
Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and regulate multiple biological processes. All steroid hormones exert their action by crossing the plasma membrane and by binding with their respective intracellular receptors. They stimulate cell growth in a very different way, their lipophilic nature gives them the ability to cross lipid barriers, so, without the need for extracellular signals, these hormones can easily enter the cell, cross the cytoplasm and reach the nucleus. There they bind to specific receptors that are associated with DNA promoter regions, modifying their structure and promoting the expression of the genes under their control.
prophase
Further genetic variation comes from crossing over, which may occur during prophase I of meiosis. In prophase I of meiosis, the replicated homologous pair of chromosomes comes together in the process called synapsis, and sections of the chromosomes are exchanged.
