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. endoskeleton

Endoskeleton is not a characteristic of Arthropods that has attributed to their diversity and success. Endoskeleton is defined as inner characteristics of the skeletal feature of an organisms such as bears, humans, fish and etc.

Exoskeleton on the other hand is the trait by which arthropods posses. It is skeletal feature that is described outside or is extrinsic, this is evident as crabs have their skeletons outside of their body.

10 points for each answer, I'm not afraid to report. The graph is shown in the picture.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Location A

Explanation:

Coastal areas have milder temperatures since they are close to water and water retains heat better than land (it's harder to warm it up and harder to cool it down). Due to this property of water, the location with the least temperature fluctuation would be the answer. Location A has the smallest range between the highest and lowest annual temperatures, making A the best answer choice. I hope I helped and that it's not too late for you.

Make a list of the things that make a hurricane different from a regular thunderstorm.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The biggest difference is that hurricanes need a warm moist water to keep on going and never forms over land, while thunderstorms can form over land or water. Tornadoes are also associated with cumulonimbus clouds.

Explanation:

A hurricane is a swirling, low-pressure system that develops over the tropics with sustained winds that have reached at least 74 miles per hour.

Warm, moist air near the ocean's surface rises upward, cools, and condenses, forming clouds. With less air than before at the surface, the pressure drops there. Because air tends to move from high to low pressure, moist air from surrounding areas flows inward toward the low-pressure spot, creating winds. This air is warmed by the ocean's heat and the heat released from condensation, so it rises. This starts a process of warm air rising and forming clouds and surrounding air swirling in to take its place. Before long, you have a system of clouds and winds that begins to rotate as a result of the Coriolis effect, a type of force that causes rotational or cyclonic weather systems.

Hurricanes are the most dangerous when there is a big storm surge, which is a wave of seawater that floods communities. Some surges can reach depths of 20 feet and sweep away homes, cars, and even people.

A thunderstorm is produced by a cumulonimbus cloud, or thunderhead, that includes rain showers, lightning, and thunder.

They start when the sun heats the earth's surface and warms the layer of air above it. This warmed air rises and transfers heat to the upper levels of the atmosphere. As the air travels upward, it cools and the water vapor contained within it condenses to form liquid cloud droplets. As air continually travels aloft in this way, the cloud grows upward in the atmosphere, eventually reaching altitudes where the temperature is below freezing. Some of the cloud droplets freeze into ice particles, while others remain "supercooled." When these collide, they pick up electric charges from one another; when enough of those collisions happen, the big buildup of charge discharges, creating lightning.

Thunderstorms are most hazardous when rain decreases visibility, hail falls, lightning strikes or tornadoes develop.

The process of ossification begins at a primary ossification center in both intramembranous and endochondral ossification. the p
AysviL [449]
The correct answer is true. Both intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification originates from a primary ossification center. The primary ossification center, as the name implies, is the focus where the bone tissue starts ossifying. Primary ossification centers are usually found in the diaphysis of long bones or in the body of irregular bones.
