Jenirelle

Complete question:

A) Without energy, cells would not be able to access food resources.

B) Without energy, cells would be forced to enter into a state of dormancy. C) Energy is required to process genetic information--without an active DNA molecule, cells will be unable to function.

D) Energy is required in order to maintain homeostasis--without a constant, organized internal state, the cell will die.

Explanation:

D) Energy is required in order to maintain homeostasis--without a constant, organized internal state, the cell will die.

During homeostasis the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc. Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis.

Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. The regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by positive and negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.
