Biology
1 answer:
Nimfa-mama [501]3 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>

What causes over growth in humans
prohojiy [21]

Does your child seem much shorter - or much taller - than other kids his or her age? It could be normal. Some children may be small for their age but still be developing normally. Some children are short or tall because their parents are.

But some children have growth disorders. Growth disorders are problems that prevent children from developing normal height, weight, sexual maturity or other features.

Very slow or very fast growth can sometimes signal a gland problem or disease.

The pituitary gland makes growth hormone, which stimulates the growth of bone and other tissues. Children who have too little of it may be very short. Treatment with growth hormone can stimulate growth.

People can also have too much growth hormone. Usually the cause is a pituitary gland tumor, which is not cancer. Too much growth hormone can cause gigantism in children, where their bones and their body grow too much. In adults, it can cause acromegaly, which makes the hands, feet and face larger than normal. Possible treatments include surgery to remove the tumor, medicines, and radiation therapy.
