Biology

Nimfa-mama [501]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The missing step is oxygen is removed from the water after step 3.

Explanation:

The steps listed by Xavier are:

  1. <em>Water is drawn in trough pores and enters the central cavity. </em>
  2. <em>Food is filtered and digested. </em>
  3. <em>Water leaves trough an opening at the top of the body.</em>

Porifera or sponges are aquatic, immobile invertebrates whose structure is saccular with an upper opening, the osculus.

Sponges absorb water through their pores, where the porocytes are found, and through flagellated cells -the coanocytes- the movement that allows the entrance of water to the spongocele or atrium is produced, in addition to the phagocytosis of organic elements.

Once the water is in the interior chamber of the sponges, the organic particles are phagocyted to be digested, and the oxygen is removed from the water, and passes through diffusion into the cell.  The waste products, as well as carbon dioxide, are released into the water that will be expelled through the osculus.

<u><em>In Xavier's list, the missing step is the removal of oxygen from the water, before it is expelled from the body of the sponge</em></u><em>.</em>

A control group of the experiment is the one in which no treatment or intervention is given. So, in your case, the pea plants in which was not subjected any of the fertilizers, will serve as a control group. This is a negative control. A positive control group is the one in which an established treatment is given, which definitely leads to the production of the desired character. So, in your case, a very good well-known fertilizer which has a positive control on the growth of the pea plant, would serve as a positive control.

What is true of matter in ecosystems?
Sidana [21]
D.Elements continuously cycle between the physical environment and living organisms.

Ecosystem is encompassing all the life on earth in the physical environment that supports it. An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.  <span> </span>

Which do you think would adapt and survive overtime to a mass extinction? A starfish or an eel?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Starfish

Explanation:

This is an opinion questions, so there really isn't a right or wrong answer.  You could just as easily choose Eel.  Your task is to pick one and defend your reasoning.

I chose starfish because starfish have a long history of demonstrated adaptability to a wide variety of conditions.  Their armored skin protects them from a variety of predators, as does the poison that many of them contain.  They have the ability to regrow limbs, and even regrow entire starfish from certain body parts.  When it comes time to breed, starfish meet together in groups.  Each female releases a few million eggs from the gonads in each of her arms.  Each male then releases billions of sperm from each gonad in each of his arms, thus covering the eggs with sperm to fertilize them.
