question 3
which of the following is not an example of a metabolic process within the cell?
a transport of molecules into and out of the cell
b distribution of molecules throughout the organism
c breakdown of harmful chemical and toxins
d transcription and translation
e all of the above are metabolic processes within the cell.

Explanation:

Metabolic processes within the cell involve chemical reactions that occur inside the cell. Transport of molecules into and out of the cell (A) is a cellular - level process. Breakdown of harmful chemicals and toxins (C) can occur in cellular organelles like peroxisomes and lysosomes. Transcription and translation (D) are key cellular processes for protein synthesis. However, the distribution of molecules throughout the organism (B) is a process that occurs at the organism - level, not just within a single cell.

Answer:

B. Distribution of molecules throughout the organism
