Given what we know, we can confirm that Ostia are important to sponges because they pull water into the sponge through the beating of their flagella.

<h3>What are Sponges?</h3>
  • A sponge is an aquatic multicellular organism.
  • Morphologically, they are very simple organisms, lacking complex structures.
  • One structure that they do possess is the Ostia.
  • The Ostia are a series of pores located throughout the body of the sponge.
  • They serve to draw in water through the beating of multiple flagella.

Therefore, we can confirm that since the Ostia of the sponge are used to pull water into the sponge through the beating of their flagella, the correct answer would be option D.

Read the following excerpt about water availability to living organisms. “Water covers 75 percent of Earth. 97 percent of water
kakasveta [241]

<span>Answer: 1%</span>

<span>As per excerpts, Water covers 75 percent of Earth and  97 percent of water on Earth is salt water, meaning only 3 percent of water is available as fresh water. Based on this information, 3% of 75% of the water on earth is available as fresh water or 2.25%. Since most of the water is said to be locked up in solid glaciers and polar ice caps,  the amount of water on the planet that is available for animals to drink is lesser than 2.25% so the best approximation is 1 percent.</span>
