Answer:

Animal and plant respiration place carbon into the atmosphere. When you exhale, you are placing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make the building blocks of food during photosynthesis. Carbon is found in the hydrosphere dissolved in ocean water and lakes.

Which describes the missing step?

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The missing step is oxygen is removed from the water after step 3.

Explanation:

The steps listed by Xavier are:

Water is drawn in trough pores and enters the central cavity.
Food is filtered and digested.
Water leaves trough an opening at the top of the body.

Porifera or sponges are aquatic, immobile invertebrates whose structure is saccular with an upper opening, the osculus.

Sponges absorb water through their pores, where the porocytes are found, and through flagellated cells -the coanocytes- the movement that allows the entrance of water to the spongocele or atrium is produced, in addition to the phagocytosis of organic elements.

Once the water is in the interior chamber of the sponges, the organic particles are phagocyted to be digested, and the oxygen is removed from the water, and passes through diffusion into the cell. The waste products, as well as carbon dioxide, are released into the water that will be expelled through the osculus.

In Xavier's list, the missing step is the removal of oxygen from the water, before it is expelled from the body of the sponge.

You observe a tissue under a microscope. There appears to be a lumen on one side of the tissue. Lining this lumen, the cells see

Lorico [155]

Answer:

The correct answer is A: Simple cuboidal epithelium.

Explanation:

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium: These epithelia are formed by a single layer of cuboidal cells, that are as tall as they are wide. They have a rounded, central nucleus. Occasionally these cells present cilia, flagella or microvillus in their apical surface, lining the lumen. Microvillus are fingerlike projections. This epithelium can be found for example in the proximal convolutes renal tubule.
