Unlike anemones, sea sponges do not have external structures to reach out and physically obtain resources.
Sea sponges have pores which allow water to enter into one or more central cavities. In order to move the water continuously through its pores, tiny flagella known as choanocytes line the inside of the sponge (they are very small, nearly microscopic in most varieties). Any small biological matter is then filtered and digested inside of the sponge. Essentially sea sponges help keep the oceans clean by filtering out tiny particles floating in the surrounding water.
Yes it does. All a sponge is, is a dead sea creature.
Not in the traditional sense, no. Sea sponges do not have digestive systems. Instead, they rely on the flow of the water they inhabit to obtain nourishment and to rid them of wastes.
No, sea sponges can not make their own food. They obtain their nutrition from the food particles in the water. Sponges primarily eat bacteria, phytoplankton, and other small food bits out of the water.
No, sea sponges are not decomposers. Sponges are filter feeders.
They hunt for their food.
Yes, sea sponges are alive. They are multicellular animals that live in marine environments. They obtain nutrients by filtering and extracting particles from the water.
yes sea sponges.
WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA Sponges do.
Sea sponges do not have many natural predators. The only animal that has been known to feed on sea sponges are sea slugs.
If you were to wring out the sponges before removing them, the sea would be just as deep.
Sea Sponges, They Absorb The Most Water Or Any Fluid And Synthetic Sponges Don't Have As Much Absorbency, Also They Don't Have As Many Holes.
No.
