Answer:

Homologous

Explanation:

If two or more species share a unique physical feature, such as a complex bone structure or a body plan, they may all have inherited this feature from a common ancestor. Physical features shared due to evolutionary history (a common ancestor) are said to be homologous.

Water leaves the internal cavity of a sponge through the
Trava [24]

If I'm not mistaken, it leaves through the osculum which is a cavity located on the upper part of a sponge.

Sponges feed through a process called filtration, which means that they filter the water in search of nutrients. And after they collect everything they need from the water, they need to let it out somehow; through the osculum.



Hope it helped,

What are two ways animals contribute to the carbon cycle?
GuDViN [60]
During the carbon cycle, animals and plants add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through cellular respiration, and plants remove carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. The burning of fossil fuels releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Here are the following options to complete the question

Which of the statements below is the best explanation of why athletes would need to monitor lactate levels?

A. During anaerobic respiration, lactate levels increase when muscles cells need more energy, however muscles cells eventually fatigue, thus athletes should modify their activities to increase aerobic respiration.

B. During aerobic respiration, muscles cells produce too much lactate which causes a rise in the pH of the muscle cells, thus athletes must consume increased amounts of sports drinks, high in electrolytes, to buffer the pH.

C. During anaerobic respiration, muscle cells receive too little oxygen and begin to convert lactate to pyruvate (pyruvic acid), thus athletes experience cramping and fatigue

D. During aerobic respiration, muscle cells cannot produce enough lactate to fuel muscle cell contractions and muscles begin to cramp, thus athletic performance suffers.

A is THE CORRECT ANSWER

A. During anaerobic respiration, lactate levels increase when muscles cells need more energy, however muscles cells eventually fatigue, thus athletes should modify their activities to increase aerobic respiration.

Explanation:

When the muscle cells undergoes anaerobic respiration, lactate are produced. Too much accumulation of lactate results in muscle fatigue. It is necessary for the athlete to prevent high accumulation by adjusting their exercise level

Why would it be expected that a swordfish would exhibit higher methyl mercury levels than a tilapia? (site 2)
kirill [66]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

Mercury is a liquid metal that is released into the environment by both natural processes such as volcanic activity, weathering of rocks, etc and human activities such as waste materials from factories. The mercury that reaches the ocean and other water sources is converted into methylmercury by bacteria. Methylmercury is a neurotoxin that interferes with the nervous system and is easily absorbed by the human body.

The methylmercury is taken up by planktons. Small fishes consume large quantities of plankton. Tilapia is a small, short-lived freshwater fish. The methylmercury level in tilapia is lower than that of other fish. When large, long-living predatory fishes such as tuna, shark, king mackerel, swordfish, etc consume many smaller fish with low mercury levels, this causes accumulation of methylmercury at extremely high levels in their tissues over time i.e., the amount of mercury in such bigger fish biomagnifies.  

So large, long-lived predators like swordfish and shark often have the highest methyl mercury levels than a small, short-lived tilapia.
