Answer: "To move substances against a concentration or electrochemical gradient, a cell must use energy. Active transport mechanisms do just this, expending energy (often in the form of ATP) to maintain the right concentrations of ions and molecules in living cells."
The answer is a. evade predators.
Animals that live in taiga had to adapt to seasonal changes, by changing their fur or feather color. For example, snow-show hare and ermine live in taiga and their fur color changes with environmental conditions. To effectively camouflage, their fur is white during the winter. That helps them blend into the snow. In the summer, where there is no snow, their fur is brown and similar to the soil color. This way<span> it is more difficult for their predators to spot them.</span>
When looking at a Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ), we know that neurotransmitters (NT) are released from the presynaptic cell and they then bind to the receptors that are located on the postsynaptic cell - this causes the effect of the NT being released.
So we are told that NT are still being released, however they are not having an effect. This would mean that they are probably being blocked by something - in this case, it seems that the neurotoxin is the culprit in the blocking of these receptors.
Therefore, if the NT cannot bind to the receptors on the postsynaptic cell, they are not going to have any effect, no matter how much NT is being released.
So the answer in this case is: The neurotoxin is most likely C) Blocking the receptors on the postsynaptic cell.
<span> Biotic components or biotic factors are any living organisms that affect another
organism. These components shape an ecosystem which includes animals that
consume organisms in question and its living food that the said organisms
consume. Biotic components include human influence. Producers, consumers and
decomposers usually comprise biotic components.</span>

Littering, hunting specific endangered species, honestly there are tons of things so the easiest one would be littering because if animals eat certain things it can kill them.
