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.

Jim does research in Antarctica. He frequently endures extremely low temperatures. Explain how his skin, muscles, and metabolism
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Skin,muscles and metabolism play a significant role in maintaining his body temperature

Explanation:

Role of skin

In cold environment the blood vessels of the skin constrict to prevent the loss or liberation of heat from his(jim) body.

Role of muscles

The one of principle function of muscle is to store glycogen.The stored glycogen of jim"s muscle  undergo glycogenolysis to generate heat inside his body.

Role of metabolism

In cold environment the rate of aerobic respiration and other catabolic reactions such as beta oxidation of fatty acid occur to generate energy in form of heat in his body.

Match each organelle with the correct function.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

EUKARYOTIC CELL STRUCTURE

Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have several membrane-bound organelles. The mitochondria convert chemical energy from food into ATP, which is used to power all cell activities. The number of mitochondrion in a cell is determined by the cell's function. Muscle cells require a lot of energy, so they contain many mitochondria. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a packaging and storage facility. Rough ER contains ribosomes and is responsible for protein synthesis. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes. It is responsible for the production and storage of lipids and steroids, as well as the storage of calcium ions. The Golgi body works with the ER to create complex molecules. In animal cells, the Golgi body also creates the lysosomes that break down food and cell waste.

Like animal cells, plant cells have mitochondria, rough and smooth ER, Golgi bodies, nuclei, and cell membranes. Unlike animal cells, plant cells do not have lysosomes. They also contain two unique organelles – cell walls and chloroplasts. The main function of a cell wall is structure and support. The primary job of chloroplasts is photosynthesis. These organelles contain chlorophyll, which traps solar energy. Plant cells also have a large central vacuole that stores water and helps the cell maintain its shape.
