The correct answer is C. A filter feeder

Explanation:

In biology, a filter feeder is a type of organisms, usually animals, that feeds from the particles and the suspended matter found in water usually because they have body structures that act as a filter, for example, baleen whales are filter feeder and they use baleens to get krill from the water. Example of filter feeders includes bivalves, sponges, but also birds such as flamingos. This implies clams are classified as filter feeders because these are bivalves and also because these have specific structures that in this case are gills to filter food particles that are used as food which occurs in filter feeders.

Explain why glucose consumption must increase in hypoxic tissues to provide the same amount of ATP that could be produced from g
slega [8]

Answer: B. In hypoxic tissues, in contrast to normoxic tissues, ATP is additionally consumed to transform lactate to pyruvate

Explanation:

In hypoxic tissues such as new cancerous cells, the vascular system is still underdeveloped, thus oxygen supply is reduced. To meet energy need, additional glucose is needed to convert lactate (result of anaerobic glycolysis) to pyruvate which can then go into the TCA cycle to yield energy. This phenomenon is very common in muscle tissues during exercise.
