Answer:

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

Explanation:

The steps listed by Xavier are:

<em>Water is drawn in trough pores and enters the central cavity. </em>
<em>Food is filtered and digested. </em>
<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>

The correct answer is (c.) Scientists understood that species share a common ancestor. Scientists considered making a modern classification of an organism in order to organize in which these organisms belong to what ancestors. The Modern Taxonomy is the one responsible for classifying each organism.

A scientist is conducting an investigation that involves water, silver, carbon dioxide, and oxygen gas. Which group of statement

ivanzaharov [21]

Correct answer choice is:

<h2>D. They are each made of matter. Some are compounds made of one type of element. Some are pure atoms.</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

The matter is a substance that has inertia and holds bodily area. According to advanced physics, matter consists of several kinds of particles, each with volume and area.

A pure element indicates a substance whose atoms possess the equivalent atomic number or number of protons.

Silver is extensively utilized as a manufacturing catalyst for the composition of ethylene epoxide via ethylene oxidation and for formaldehyde via methanol oxidation. Oxygen classes on silver are determined to perform a pivotal use in ethylene epoxidation and particular methanol oxidation.

The outcome of the reaction between hydrogen gas and oxygen gas is water vapor (gas).

Water and carbon dioxide are compounds composed of various elements, whereas, silver and oxygen remain pure elements.

The existence of introns in mRNA-encoding genes seems to be a problem because so much cellular energy goes into splicing them ou

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

In normal conditions, introns serve following functions in the body of an organism:

1) They contain genes of miRNA which are known as Mirtrons, reverse transcriptase, endonucleases, transposase etc.

2) It is because of presence of introns that alternative splicing of mRNA is possible. The sex determination in drosophila is based on alternative splicing.

Apart from this, alternative splicing can be useful and beneficial in an unforeseen situation such as an environmental problem which is faced by the organism for the first time.

Explanation:

Alternative splicing is an important mechanism because with the help of alternative splicing different type of proteins can be synthesized from the same pre mRNA transcript. In case suddenly the surrounding environment of an organism is changed and the environmental conditions have become extremely harsh due to which organism's life is at stake, in such situation organism may make a different type of protein through alternative splicing which can help the organism in survival.

Default splicing in Drosophila leads to the development of male off-spring while female off-spring is produced as a result of alternative splicing.

The sequence of sub units in a protein is most directly dependent on the DNA in the chromosomes in a cell

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Any life events that takes place in a cell depends upon the central dogma of life that is the DNA getting transcribed into RNA and the RNA getting translated into protein, therefore we can conclude that the sequences of amino acids are based on the sequences of DNA that are present inside the chromosomes that are packed in a nucleus of a cell.
