Answer:

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Adenine is one of the four nitrogenous bases while Ribose is one of the two sugars (carbohydrates) that make up a nucleotide. Adenine is structurally composed of 5 carbon atoms, 5 hydrogen atoms and 5 nitrogen atoms to form the chemical formula C5H5N5 whereas ribose is structurally composed of five carbon atoms, ten hydrogen atoms, and five oxygen atoms to form the chemical formula; C5H10O5.

Based on the above explanation, it is evident that the element present in Adenine but not in Ribose is NITROGEN. Nitrogen is a major constituent of all nitrogenous bases (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine (Uracil).

_____ are sessile animals that have specialized cells called amoebocytes and choanocytes.
Artemon [7]

Sponges are sessile animals that have specialized cells called amoebocytes and choanocytes.

Sponges (phylum Porifera) are one of the simpllest multicellular organisms (first to branch off the evolutionary tree from the common ancestor of all animals) that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them. Sponges’ s structure consists of two thin layers of cells and mesohyl layer between them. They don’ t have real tissues or organ systems such as nervous, digestive or circulatory systems. Constant water flow through their openings and pores obtain food and oxygen and remove wastes.
