Answer:

X in the diagram represents the cell membrane and performs the function of regulates the transport of materials.

Explanation:

The cell membrane, marked with X in the diagram, is a lipid bilayer with hydrophobic properties, which acts as a semi-permeable membrane to the passage of substances.

This membrane, that covers the cell and keeps it isolated from the extracellular space, has the function of controlling or regulating the passage of materials from the extracellular to the intracellular space, as well as the exit of substances from the interior of the cell. To fulfill this function it has several alternatives of transmembrane transport.

The other options are not correct because:

The cell membrane does not control the energy released.
Protein synthesis occurs in the rugged endoplasmic reticulum.
Cellulose synthesis occurs inside the cell, a process dependent on photosynthesis.

Their differences may eventually stop the separated squirrels from breeding with one another this is an example of an Allopatric speciation

Explanation:

In allopatric speciation, species from the same population evolve some different characters due to the differences in geographical locations.

In this scenario, the species become reproductively isolated and diverge.

The mating times of the squirrel have changed due to the environmental changes.

They no longer interbreed and hence no viable offspring thus sexually isolated from each other.
