Answer:

B

Explanation:

Atoms of oxygen are electronegative and attract the shared electrons in their covalent bonds. Consequently the electrons in the water molecule spend slightly more time around the oxygen atomic center and less time around the hydrogen atomic centers. The covalent bonds are therefore polar, and the oxygen atoms have a slight negative charge

In a hydra, digestion is completed _________.
OLEGan [10]

In a hydra, digestion is completed intracellularly.

Hence option (a) is correct.

Small, freshwater organisms of the phylum Cnidaria and class Hydrozoa are grouped under the genus Hydra. They are indigenous to temperate and tropical climates. 

The digestion takes place intracellularly in Hydra.

Because of their ability to regenerate and the fact that they don't appear to age or experience old age, hydra have drawn the attention of biologists.

Like most other cnidarians, hydras have a pretty straightforward digestive system.

They have a two-way digestive system, which differs from mammals in that food and waste enter and exit through the same aperture. A "blind gut" is the name for this configuration.

The center of the hydra's body is occupied by its digestive tract.
