Why is a sponge called a sponge?
Because a sponge is an actual living thing in the ocean, which pulls in water through tiny holes, then spits it back out, as with household sponges sold in deaprtment stores.
What protein makes up a sponge?
The flexible protein fibers that make up a sponge are called spongin. The hard, tiny spikes found in sponges are called spicules, and they are made of silica or calcium carbonate.
Where does water enter a sponge through?
tiny "whips" on the cells inside a sponge draw water in through the pores of thesponge. Food is then removed from the water before it leaves through the opening at the top of the sponge .
How does a sponge obtain food?
Sponges obtain food by filter feeding. They draw in water through pores on their body and filter out tiny particles, such as bacteria and plankton, to feed on. The water is then expelled through a larger opening called the osculum.
What are the feeding of grey finger sponge?
a gray finger sponge cant move or catch there own food so they suck in water and get tiny food particials out of the water so gray finger sponges eat tiny food partials hope that helped.
Tiny hard needles of silica or calcium carbonate that make up the skeleton of some sponges?
Spicules are tiny hard needles made of silica or calcium carbonate that provide structural support to the body of certain sponges. These spicules can vary in shape and size depending on the species of sponge and are often used in taxonomy to classify sponges.
What type of animal has a collar cells an osculum and spicules?
An animal with collar cells, an osculum, and spicules is likely a sponge. Sponges are simple aquatic animals that filter feed using collar cells and have a central opening called an osculum through which water exits their bodies. Spicules are tiny, hard structures that provide support and structure to the sponge's body.
Do sea sponges have structures to obtain resources?
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.
What are some special traits of sponges?
Sponges are the simplest multicellular organisms and do not have tissues. They have a porous body with specialized cells called choanocytes that help in filter feeding. They are able to regenerate from small fragments of their body.
