The inner layer of a sponge, the mesohyl, contains several types of amoeboid cells, which secrete materials to form a skeleton-like structure for support.
the exterior of a sponge is comprised of flattened cells that form an outer epithelium.
Choanocytes are flagellated cells that line internal cavities and are responsible for pumping water and small particles into the sponge. 
Sponges are truly multicellular organisms.
Sponge cells are unique because throughout their development they can differentiate from one type of cell to another

Answer: sponges are

phylum Porifera

Explanation: There are about nine thousand species of sponges. Sponges have three types of cells which includes

1) Pinacocytes: They are thin walled and flat cells. They line the outer surface of a sponge. Pinacocytes are slightly contractile. The contraction may change the structure of some sponges. Most pinacocytes forms tube like contractile porocytes. Porocytes are responsible for water regulation.

2) Mesohyl: It is a jelly like layer present underneath the pinacocytes. Amoeboid cells are present in mesophyl. The Amoeboid cells are called mesenchyma cells. These cells are responsible for reproduction, secretion, skeletal elements, transporting and storing food and forming contractile rings around openings in the sponge wall.

3)Choanocytes: Also called collar cells are present below the mesohyl. They form the lining of the inner chamber. Choanocytes are flagellated cells. They have a collar like ring of microvilli surrounding a flagellum.The flagellum creates water currents through the sponge.

What only happens during a chemical reaction?
goldenfox [79]
B. New substances are formed. In a chemical reaction, the starting molecule must be changed or turn into another. For example: rusts that form in a tin can is a chemical reaction. The iron in the can combines with the oxygen in the atmosphere, creating rust (iron oxide), which is a different substance.

What description best explains why viruses can become more pathogenic to host that were not affected by the virus before?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

New cells are naive to the infectious cells who attack it or they are not well prepared to deal with the different scenarios. But, the cells who are attacked before has the set or sequence of the viral or bacterial genome strand been identified by them, which leads to more safety or protection from these foreign bodies.

Explanation:

  • Mechanism To attack a host cell:

The viruses and other infectious material enters and attacks the host cell, by breaching its membrane wall and installing or leaving a gene of its own inside the cell. Which then combines with the genome of the cell and it goes through the process of replication, translation etc,along with the host cell machinery. Which then spreads the specific gene strand more in the environment

  • <u>Camouflage obtained by the infectious cell to hide it self:</u>

After the genome enters the host cell at first it does not recognizes the strands or foreign cells, as they cover there body with a camouflage sort of membrane and they look more like the body cells.

  • <u>Reactions by the host cell and as a whole the body:</u>

The organisms detects the genome of the infections cells or strand, as they store the data about it in its server or database. As if the next time they were under attack then precautions will be there by the host cell to deal with it.

As for the cell who are never attacked before will be less safe to deal with these foreign bodies.

Cells transport molecules into the cell in many different ways. One method is through endocytosis, shown in the model. In endocy
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

This is because fluids have a polar nature, so they couldn´t cross the lipidic bilayer that constitutes the plasma membrane

Explanation:

Plasma membranes are contituted by lipid bilayers. These kind of compounds are hidrophobic (they reject water) and don´t permit the freely passage of hidriphilic molecules that can disolve in water, constituing fluids. Because of that cells developed transport mechanism like endocytosis.
