Cells, like humans, cannot generate energy without locating a source in their environment. However, whereas humans search for substances like fossil fuels to power their homes and businesses, cells seek their energy in the form of food molecules or sunlight. In fact, the Sun is the ultimate source of energy for almost all cells, because photosynthetic prokaryotes, algae, and plant cells harness solar energy and use it to make the complex organic food molecules that other cells rely on for the energy required to sustain growth, metabolism, and reproduction.

Cellular nutrients come in many forms, including sugars and fats. In order to provide a cell with energy, these molecules have to pass across the cell membrane, which functions as a barrier — but not an impassable one. Like the exterior walls of a house, the plasma membrane is semi-permeable. In much the same way that doors and windows allow necessities to enter the house, various proteins that span the cell membrane permit specific molecules into the cell, although they may require some energy input to accomplish this task

Cells receive the energy they need to function by a source of energy, they get this energy by breaking down food molecules to release, the stored chemical energy. When this happens, its called cellular respiration.

Kamila [148]

The statement that best explains why Chris did not get a rash from the water was that Chris's medication has an antagonistic relationship with the toxin in the water. That is option B.

<h3>What is drug-drug interaction?</h3>

Drug-drug interaction is definitely as the relationship that exists between two drugs when administered together or at the same time.

This relationship that exists between the drugs could be:

  • Synergistic relationship or

  • Antagonist relationship.

A synergistic relationship is the type of relationship that occurs between two drugs where by the total effect of the drugs are greater than the sum of the individual effects of each drug.

An antagonistic relationship is the type of relationship that occurs between two drugs where by the both drugs has opposite effects on the body.

Therefore, Chris didn't have the rash because his medication has an antagonistic relationship with the toxin in the water.
