Scientists share their conclusions with others in their field for all of the following reasons except. a.) to build the body of scientific knowledge. b.) to alert other scientists to new developments c.) to contribute their results to the creation of a theory. d.) to ensure that no one else gets the same results from an experiment.

D.) To ensure that no one else gets the same results from an experiment.

Explanation:

Scientists share their conclusions with others in their field for variety of reasons. They build on the already existing information about a topic. Other scientists come to know of new developments from their conclusion which enhances their knowledge. They can also use this knowledge to support their own research thus initiating a cycle of contribution.

Many scientists repeat an experiment after a conclusion has been given to check if the results can be reproduced or not. If the results can be reproduced, the conclusion gets more evidence and support. So to say that scientists share their conclusion so that no one else can reproduce the results is a wrong statement.  

many other transport proteins, often called pumps, move materials against a concentration gradient. active transport drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. this process, shown in figure 5.1, uses transport proteins powered by chemi- cal energy.
