← Nature & AnimalsWhich process facilitates nutrient transfer to developing tissues during the pupal stage of holometabolous insects?
A)Apoptosis driven resource resorption✓
B)Osmotic pressure mediated filtration
C)Diffusion-limited localized synthesis
D)Active transport gradients via hemolymph
💡 Explanation
During the pupal stage, extensive tissue remodeling occurs, and apoptosis drives resource resorption from larval tissues broken down by histolysis because programmed cell death releases nutrients for the developing adult structures. Therefore, apoptosis driven resource resorption results, rather than other transport methods that would not liberate existing organic stores already present.
