How do sponges and cnidarians defend themselves against predators What is different about the methods used by each?

Sponges defend themselves primarily through chemical means, releasing toxic compounds or deterrent substances to repel predators. They also have a simple structural defense, utilizing their porous bodies to make it difficult for larger predators to consume them. In contrast, cnidarians, such as jellyfish and sea anemones, use specialized cells called cnidocytes that contain stinging structures called nematocysts, allowing them to deliver venom to deter or incapacitate predators. This reliance on stinging cells represents a more active and immediate form of defense compared to the passive chemical defenses of sponges.
