The answer is B. When diatoms die and fall off the ocean column to the ocean floor, they become part of sediments over time. When they are mined and exposed, they turn to a diatomite. Diatomaceous earth is significant as a pest repellant because of its hygroscopic property and has very abrasive particle hence it absorbs the water-protective fats and oils from the outermost layer of insects.

Agata [3.3K]

The molecule C-P phosphorylates and thus activates D, whereas Kinase D amplifies cellular signaling by phosphorylating many substrates. In this case, it is expected to observe kinase D overexpression in Brec-MUT cells.

<h3>Cancer, phosphorylation and signaling pathways</h3>

Cancer can be defined as a multifactorial disease, which is often associated with uncontrolled cell growth.

Cancer signaling may be associated with defective pathways such as, for example, a mutated kinase protein that affects normal downstream molecular cascades.

A kinase is a specific protein that acts to phosphorylate specific cellular substrates, thereby activating/deactivating a particular signaling pathway.

pav-90 [236]

Can you add the picture or describe it to me? Right now I'd guess that it's probably bacteria because bacteria breaks it down into ammonium and nitrate, which is taken up by the plants by a process of nitrogen fixation.  So, D.
