A is the only one I can see here that would apply only to an octopus.

Obviously, an octopus is capable of complex and rapid movement. It has tentacles, it can jet itself backward in the water very fast, and it is an intelligent animal. Sunflowers do not have such movement.

The sunflower would be the organism with rigid cell walls, as all plants have. Animals of any kind do not have these walls, so B is out.

Choanocytes are not found within either species, but you should check me on this one. Sponges and related, primitive sea life have these cells, also called "collar cells" , and they have flagella which beat to create a current through the sponge to bring in food and remove wastes. I think that the octopus is too advanced for this, but again, you should check me. I know for sure that sunflowers do not have collar cells. Unless the octopus has collar cells, which I do not think it does, C is out.

There are no terrestrial octopus species. If there are aquatic sunflowers, fine...botany is not my area..but your question asked what only the octopus has, and there are no terrestrial octopus species so D is out.

Based on the text how would you define a dominant gene what about a recessive gene
sertanlavr [38]

Dominant refers to the relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive two versions of each gene, known as alleles, from each parent. If the alleles of a gene are different, one allele will be expressed; it is the dominant gene. The effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.

How do humans obtain the nitrogen they use in their bodies
olya-2409 [2.1K]
<span>Most organisms, including humans, can't use the free gaseous form of nitrogen found in the air. We need other organisms and natural processes to "fix" nitrogen into a solid form that plants and animals can use. Most of the nitrogen that plants and animals use is made by bacteria.</span>
