Answer:

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

Explanation:

The steps listed by Xavier are:

Water is drawn in trough pores and enters the central cavity.
Food is filtered and digested.
Water leaves trough an opening at the top of the body.

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.

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.

Explain why mutation and natural selection make developing new flu vaccines every year necessary

Serhud [2]

Let's just say that everyvyear, many people either get the vaccination, or the flu. These people are left immune to the strain of flu that they were vaccinated/infected with so the number of people who can get and pass on that form of flu (think of these people as that flu strain's "habitat") is reduced. If some of that flu mutates sufficiently that the immune systems of those previously infected vaccinated people no longer recognize it, then it's habitat is expanded back to the original size again.

Hope this helped :)

A relatively small area with numerous endemic species and a large number of endangered or threatened species is called a _______

nekit [7.7K]

A biodiversity hot spot is a relatively small region with a significant number of indigenous species and endangered or vulnerable species.

Ecologically distinct areas with extraordinarily high species densities are known as biodiversity hotspots, and they are thus top priorities for nature conservation. The term "biodiversity" has several meanings. A species area must satisfy two severe requirements in order to be considered a biodiversity hotspot: It must have a significant proportion of plant life that is endemic, or found nowhere else on the earth, and at least 1,500 vascular plants. In other terms, a hotspot is unique.
