I suppose sponges can only compare to pieces of cloth of different materials. Differing in strength and absorbency.

i have no idea, but to find out, look on Google!:)!
The sponges are filter feeders, that means the surronding sea water circulate throught the canal system they have and the absorb the organic matter the water carries as their food.
No, kitchen sponges nowadays are usually made from cellulose or synthetic plastics. Real marine sponges were used by early Europeans to also clean, but it was stopped due to overfishing that almost brought the sponges to extinction.
Synthetic sponges are cleaning tools made from man-made materials such as plastic or cellulose. They are designed to absorb and hold water and cleaning solutions for various household cleaning tasks. Synthetic sponges are often more durable and resistant to bacterial growth compared to natural sponges.
Examples of materials that absorb water include sponges, paper towels, cotton fabrics, and soil. These materials have porous structures that allow them to soak up and retain water.
Yes, gauze sponges can be safely autoclaved, provided they are made of materials that can withstand high temperatures and steam. It is essential to ensure that the sponges are properly packaged to allow for steam penetration during the sterilization process. However, some gauze sponges may contain additives or coatings that could affect their autoclaving suitability, so it's important to check the manufacturer's guidelines.
Porous water-absorbing materials are substances that have small pores or holes in their structure, allowing them to soak up and retain water. Examples include sponges, foam, and certain types of fabrics like cotton or wool. These materials are commonly used in products such as diapers, sponges, and water filters.
Organisms with porous bodies belong to the phylum Porifera, commonly known as sponges. Sponges are aquatic animals that lack tissue layers and have a simple body plan with numerous pores to allow water to circulate through their bodies for feeding and respiration. They are considered one of the simplest forms of multicellular animals.
Synthetic sponges are made of cellulose and have a similar appearance to a real sponge. Genuine sponges are multicellular animals with no similarities with a synthetic sponge except that their exoskeletons can be used to wash cars, etc.
No, sea sponges are not decomposers. Sponges are filter feeders.
