Question

sponges are ____, meaning they cannot move. options: sessile, locomotive, bipedal, tetrapodal

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of each option:

• Sessile: Organisms that are permanently attached and cannot move freely.
• Locomotive: Relates to movement (opposite of what's needed here as sponges can't move).
• Bipedal: Using two legs for movement (not applicable to sponges).
• Tetrapodal: Using four limbs for movement (also not applicable to sponges).

Since sponges are permanently attached and cannot move, the correct term is "Sessile".

Answer:

The correct option is the one labeled "Sessile" (the yellow - colored option with the text "Sessile").
