Answer:
d) passage of a solute against its concentration gradient
Explanation:
When a solute is transported against its concentration gradient, the cells use metabolic energy. To move a substance from the region of its lower concentration to that of its higher concentration, the energy of ATP hydrolysis is utilized. These types of transport mechanisms are called active transports. If ATP hydrolysis is inhibited in a cell, it would not be able to perform the uphill movement of solutes due to the lack of any source of energy to drive the process.
Because the snails blend in with the light filled environment which allows them to blend in
Well matter is basically any substance that has mass and takes up space. Example, you have a ball, or a table, or anything really. That is mass. But anything that doesn't take up space or has mass isn't matter. So, anything that doesn't have a mass or take up space is not matter. Hope this helped you understand. :D
Botana curus is a plant that produces curus which is a substance that is used to cure different kind of cancer.

Answer:
Explanation:
When osteocytes were experimentally destroyed, the bones showed a significant increase in bone resorption, decreased bone formation, trabecular bone loss, and loss of response to unloading. ... The osteocyte is an important regulator of bone mass and a key endocrine regulator of phosphate metabolism.
