Which function is NOT associated with the metabolic processes in diverse types of cells? A) Detoxification of drugs and poisons B) Transport of nutrients only C) Pathway for carbohydrate metabolism D) Synthesis of lipids
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which of the given options is not related to the metabolic functions of different types of cells. It is essentially testing knowledge related to cell biology and metabolism.
Answer
B) Transport of nutrients only
The final answer is B) Transport of nutrients only
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is B) Transport of nutrients only
More Information
Processes like detoxification, synthesis of lipids, and carbohydrate metabolism are core activities of cellular metabolism, while transport of nutrients alone without other metabolic transformations is not considered a primary metabolic process.
Tips
Students often confuse transport functions with metabolic functions. It's important to distinguish between metabolic processes which involve biochemical transformations, and simple transport.
