Answer:

The correct answer is option (C) "After splitting ATP, a protein changes shape to pump ions across a membrane".

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an organic chemical molecule considered the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer, for the high level of energy that is released when ATP is breakdown into adenosine diphosphate (ADP). ATP provides energy to drive many processes in living cells. One example of how the chemical potential energy of this molecule is turned into work is that after splitting ATP, a protein changes shape to pump ions across a membrane. The energy of the splitting of ATP into ADP will provide energy for the protein being able to change shape, resulting in pumping ions across a membrane.

Answer:

Cell differentiation

Explanation:

Cell differentiation is common with multicellular organisms. It is the process by which a cell changes from one cell form to another. Cell differentiation makes the change from a zygote to a complex system with different parts.Cells which have been differentiated also becomes specialized. Complex multicellular animals and plants would not be in existence without specialization. This is because cells have specialized functions and each cell is very important to the survival of the organism.
