Answer:

The lion's mane jellyfish's skin is so thin that the body receives oxygen through difussion.

Explanation:

The lion's mane jellyfish - giant jellyfish - is the largest species of jellyfish.

This species does not possess a 'usual' respiratory system that would enable to deliver oxygen to its cells. Instead, <u>the lion's mane jellyfish's skin is so thin that the body receives oxygen through difussion. </u>

Thanks to diffusion (<em>oxygen molecules moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration</em>), oxygen that is already dissolved in the ocean then is converted into an equal amount of oxygen inside the jellyfish.

What is it called when oceans proportions and amounts of.dissolved solids remain constant
makkiz [27]
Seawater, water that makes up the oceans and seas, covering more than 70 percent of Earth's surface. Seawater is a complex mixture of 96.5 percent water, 2.5 percent salts, and smaller amounts of other substances, including dissolved inorganic and organic materials, particulates, and a few atmospheric gases.

The most abundant dissolved ions in seawater are sodium, chloride, magnesium, sulfate and calcium. Its osmolarity is about 1000 mOsm/l.

Timothy has attached earlobes like his maternal grandfather. His mother and father both have free earlobes, which are dominant.
mixas84 [53]
Timothy inherited attached earlobes because his maternal grandfather  had homogenous genes for attached earlobes. Along with this, the woman that his grandfather married and had offspring with either had homogenous genes for attached earlobes, or had mixed genes so both of his grandparents passed on the recessive trait for attached earlobes.
