Diatom Cells are enclosed in a cell wall made up of silica or hydrated silicon dioxide namely frustule. The frustule has small walls where nutrients enter, enabling it to perform photosynthesis the same way plants do.
I’m almost 100% sure it’s D, because environmental factors can induce a mutation. A mutation can be beneficial but it can also be harmful, so it’s neither B or C, and it can’t be A, because mutations can come from natural selection as well. So it’s D.
The asnswer is 2DG also known as 2-Deoxy-D-glucose. 2DG is a glucose molecule that has the
2-hydroxyl group replaced by hydrogen, so that it cannot undergo further
glycolysis. As such; it acts to competitively inhibit the production of
glucose-6-phosphate from glucose at the phosphoglucoisomerase level (step 2 of
glycolysis).
