Answer: Water is drawn in through small openings on a sponge's body called OSTIA.

The supportive skeleton of a sponge contains SPICULES which provide protection from predators.

Explanation:

Sponges refer to any of the aquatic animals of the phyllum porifera which is normally characterized with porous structures and has horn-like calcareous internal framework.

Sponges usually have multiple pores called "OSTIA" on their bodies that allow water to enter them.

Most sponges are sessile and because of this, they can't run away from predators. They usually have sharp "SPICULES" which are part of their skeleton that provide them some certain degree of defense. Apart from this, they also produce toxins which poisons predators that attempt to consume them

A star is not considered born until the process of nuclear fusion
jonny [76]
Star is a brilliantly glowing sphere of hot gas whose energyis produced by an internalnuclear fusion process. Stars are contained in galaxies. A galaxy contains not only stars, but clouds of gas and dust. These clouds are callednebulae, and it is in a nebula where stars are born. In the nebula is hydrogen gas which is pulled together by gravityand starts to spin faster. Over millions of years, more hydrogen gas is pulled into the spinning cloud. The collisions which occur between the hydrogen atoms starts to heat the gas in the cloud. Once the temperature reaches 15,000,000 degrees Celsius, nuclear fusion takes place in the center, or core, of the cloud. The tremendous heat given off by the nuclear fusion process causes the gas to glow creating a protostar. This is the first step in the evolution of a star. The glowing protostar continues to accumulate mass. The amount of mass it can accumulate is determined by the amount ofmatter available in the nebula. Once its mass is stabilized, the star is known as a main sequence star. The new star will continue to glow for millions or even billions of years. As it glows, hydrogen is converted into helium in the core by nuclear fusion. The core starts to become unstable and it starts to contract. The outer shell of the star, which is still mostly hydrogen, starts to expand. As it expands, it cools and starts to glow red. The star has now reached the red giant phase. It is red because it is cooler than the protostar phase and it is a giant because the outer shell has expanded outward. All stars evolve the same way up to the red giant phase. The amount of mass a star has determines which of the following life cycle paths the star will take.

Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate into _____, thus returning nitrogen to _____.
ziro4ka [17]

Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate into <u>nitrogen gas</u>, thus returning nitrogen to the <u>atmosphere</u>.

Denitrifying bacteria- Numerous phyla are included in the broad class of bacteria known as denitrifying bacteria. This group of bacteria, which is a part of the nitrogen cycle, may carry out denitrification together with denitrifying fungi and archaea.

Phylum (Phyla)- In biology, a phylum is a rank or level of taxonomic categorization that comes after a kingdom but before a class. Although the nomenclature for algae, fungus, and plants is recognized by the International Code of Nomenclature as being equivalent, division rather than phylum has traditionally been used in botany.

Which of the following best describes how a blood cell and skin cell have the exact same DNA sequence and yet look different and
den301095 [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, however, it will be answered BROADLY so the it can be understood enough to select the correct answer.

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Cells perform different functions and look differently because of the process of CELL DIFFERENTIATION. All cells arise from a single stem cell, which then gradually differentiates into different types of cells with different functions, as they divide.

At the molecular level, these different types of cells contain the same DNA sequence as rightly stated in the question. However, they look and perform differently because some of the genes are turned on while the others are turned off via the process of GENE EXPRESSION.

Therefore, a blood cell and skin cell possess exactly the same DNA sequence but look different and perform different functions because of CELL DIFFERENTIATION in which some genes on the DNA sequence are expressed and others are repressed. For example, in the blood cell; the genes coding for certain proteins found in blood are expressed while every other gene is silenced or inhibited. This allows those cells to perform only blood-related functions.
