The right answer is Slime molds are able to move

Mucilaginous mold are characterized because at some stage of their life cycle they form multinucleated aggregates (plasmodia) or multicellular (pseudoplasmodiums) that slide along the ground feeding on decaying plant matter. A few are parasites. They can be found on the ground, on the lawn and in deciduous forests. They are also common in leaf mulch or even in silt that accumulates in gutters. Some are aquatic, freshwater or marine.

The "body" of these Myxomycete consists of a mass of cytoplasm called plasmodium which is surrounded only by a thin membrane; there is no rigid wall like most mushrooms. This is why the plasmode can move by creeping or flowing, that is to say, by amoeboid movements.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Sponges use choanocytes or flagellated channels to get nutrients from the feeding cells to other parts of their body.

Explanation:

Sponges are marine animals with a sac-shaped body. The epidermis is composed of polygonal flat cells called pinacocytes and pores protected by porocytes. Under the epidermis, there is a protein matrix called mesenchyme, which is composed of spicules and amibocytes. By the interior side of the sponge, there are the choanocytes. These are ovoid cells that can be shaping the spongocoele (internal cavity of the sponge), with an extreme attached to the mesenchyme and the other extreme projected to the spongocoele, or can be grouped in spaces called flagellated channels.

These animals depend on water to get oxygen and food to the inside of the sac and take excrements and reproductive cells to the outside. Sponges feed on small detritus particles and suspending organisms that get near the animal by water streams produced by choanocytes.

Particle size is essential. Only the small ones can get through the flagellated channels, where they get stuck to the choanocytes and are encapsulated by the cells. If the choanocytes are too small, the particle is transferred to the amibocytes for digestion. These last ones also act as food storages. Excrement products are dragged by a water stream.

Todd's father slipped a disk in his back. Dr. Foster explained to the family that the intervertebral disks are composed of _____

vichka [17]

Answer:

D. Fibrocartilage

Explanation:

In order to understand the question, we need to review the structure of intervertebral discs.

Intervertebral discs consist of two parts:

NUCLEUS PULPOSUS:

It forms the central part of the intervertebral disc and consists of mucoid substance.

ANNULUS FIBROSUS:

It is composed of encircling layers of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue surrounding the nucleus pulposus

SLIPPED DISC:

It is characterized by the protrusion of nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus accompanied by the compression of spinal nerves.

Patient may present with loss of sensory sensations or pain or both.

CORRECT ANSWER:

From the above review, the correct answer is D. fibrocartilage as it forms the annulus fibrosus.
