Answer:

The mouth covered by chitin and intracellular granules of chitin (i.e. spindles) in nudibranchs

Explanation:

Nudibranchs are marine gastropod molluscs (Opisthobranchia, Mollusca). These organisms are carnivorous, so they feed on sponges, coral, anemones, hydroids, fish eggs, etc. On the other hand, cnidarians have specialized cells called cnidoblasts or cnidocytes that contain nematocysts made up of toxins that serve as a defense mechanism. Nematocysts are found in many species of Cnidarians such as, for example, in the tentacles of sea anemones. Interestingly, nudibranchs have developed some adaptations for feeding on these species. In the first place, nudibranchs have the mouth covered by a substance named chitin that allows them to chomp and swallow anemone tentacles. Second, they (nudibranchs) also have intracellular granules of chitin (i.e. spindles) in the digestive system that function as biological sandbags which maintain nematocyst toxins away from sensitive body parts.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Major cell parts function just like the structures and people who work together in a factory. Cells have strong cell walls and a cytoskeleton to keep their shape; the walls are made of fiber for protection just like a factory building has sturdy walls for support.

Then the S phase, where DNA replication and or DNA synthesis occurs to duplicate the number of chromosomes in the cell.

Improve the student’s model of gas exchange by drawing the missing component.
larisa [96]

Answer:

The diagram can be improved by:

                                  Lungs

                                       ↓

                                   oxygen

                                       ↓

                      Red blood cells (carrying oxygen)

                                       ↓

                  Organs (like stomach and liver etc) from where carbon    

                               is taken and oxygen is supplied

                                         ↓

                   RBC's carrying Carbon dioxide to the lungs

The component which is missing in the diagram are the organs where exchange of gases occurs. The red blood cells carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to all parts of the body and carries the wast carbon dioxide gas from them back to the lungs. The carbon dioxide is then exhaled by the lungs.
