Dinoflagellate is a type of neurotoxin which is found in the red-tide algae.
The answer is:
d. people can get paralytic shellfish poisoning during dinoflagellate blooms
Dinoflagellate algal blooms, during red-tide, release strong neurotoxins that can be ingested by shellfish and passed on to humans who eat the infected shellfish. The most significant public health problem that has been known to cause this harmful algae poisoning is: Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP).
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.
<u><em>Female:</em></u>
*Ovaries - release of oocytes (eggs), estrogen and progesterone.
*Oviducts (fallopian tubes) - where fertilization of the oocyte occurs to form a zygote.
*Uterus - where the zygote develops
*Cervix and vagina - allow for the entry of sperm for fertilization
<u><em>Male:</em></u>
*Testes - Releases testosterone and sperm
*Vas deferens - Passageway for sperm
*Epididymis - allows the sperm to pass from the testes and vas deferens and equips them with semen so they can survive internal fertilization
*Penis - releases sperm into the external environment for fertilization to occur

The plasma membrane has a double layer of phospholipids with proteins dispersed throughout. These proteins help increase the durability of the membrane, as well as help with filtration.
