Answer:

e) endocytosis

Explanation:

Because the ATP concentration inside the cell is dropping, we know that the cell is using energy to transport the polar molecule into the cell. This eliminates a), b) and c) because they all don't require energy, and we know that polar substances have trouble diffusing across membranes because the tails of the phospholipids making up the membrane are hydrophobic and non-polar. We also know that the polar substance concentration is increasing in the cell. Honestly, both d) and e) would work because both require ATP; however, endocytosis is more specific as a hypothesis. Thus, e). :)

<h3>Classification of diseases</h3>

Latent disease is a classification of disease whereby the infectious agent remains inert in the body of its host between episodes of recurrent diseases.

Examples of viral pathogens that causes latent diseases include:

  • <em>Herpes simplex, </em>

  • <em>Varicella zoster, </em>

  • <em>Epstein-Barr</em>,

  • <em>Human cytomegalovirus, </em>
