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.

Can someone explain how it is possible for a single molecule of steroid hormone to create a significant and lasting response in

Mars2501 [29]

Steroid hormone

The cell signaling pathways induced by the steroid hormones regulate specific genes within the cell's DNA. The hormones and receptor complex act as transcription regulators by increasing or decreasing the synthesis of mRNA molecules from specific genes.
Steroid hormones are not able to target every cell within the body, so the overall response is slower. They bind to receptors on the cell's surface and the receptors aid in helping the steroid hormones enter the cell.
Hormones work by binding to protein receptors either inside target cells or on their plasma membranes. The binding of a steroid hormone forms a hormone-receptor complex that affects gene expression in the nucleus of the target cell.
Steroids pass into a cell's nucleus, bind to specific receptors and genes and trigger the cell to make proteins.
