Answer;

-The transient dynamic nature of multiple low-energy non-covalent interactions.

Explanation;

-Molecules (eg, drugs, hormones, neurotransmitters) that bind to a receptor are called ligands. The binding can be specific and reversible. A ligand may activate or inactivate a receptor; activation may increase or decrease a particular cell function. Each ligand may interact with multiple receptor subtypes.

-Ligand binding to a receptor protein alters the conformation by affecting the three-dimensional shape orientation. The conformation of a receptor protein composes the functional state.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The correct answer is D. Digestion.

Digestion is termed as the breakdown of food which has large insoluble molecules to small soluble molecules which makes them to be absorbed in the blood plasma.

Based on the way which food is being broken, it will depend on the form of catabolism which is used in the digestion. For example, catabolism is divided into chemical and mechanical digestion where mechanical digestion breaks down large to small pieces of food.

Those pieces of food are accessed by digestive system. In chemical digestion it is the enzymes which broke down molecules of food.
