One adaptation is that they have toxins. The toxin lives on, or is sprayed through the pores. Divers who collect sponges may be exposed to these toxins.

What are the 2 functions of spicules?
The spicule in a sponge is its skeleton. It provides strength in the sponge.
What is the function of the spongin ans spicules?
spongin is the soft material that makes up a sponge´s skeleton and spicule provides support for the sponge.
What function might spicules provide?
The major function of spicule is to provide structural support to the organisms. Spicules also play other roles and one of the roles is to provide deterrence from predators that might attack.
What is the function of spicules?
Spicules provide support to the sponge. In fact, a spicule is defined as any (of various shapes and sizes, depending of the sponge) small calcareous or siliceous body embedded along the sponge's cells.

What adaptations do sea squirts have?
Sea squirts have a body shape that looks like a sponge or a rock.
What characteristics is used to designate groups of sponges?
The composition of their Skeletons.The Calcarea have single nucleus, single external membrane cells. Their 'Spicule' (Structural Element) is Calcite. They commonly have a massive Calcite exoskeletonThe Glass Sponges cells are mostly syncytia (large structure filled with cytoplasm and many nuclei), and their Spicule is Silica. They never have an exoskeleton.Finally, the Demosponges have the same calls as the Calcarea, but their Spicule is Silica, like the Glass Sponges. Some species have an exoskeleton, which will be formed of Aragonite if present.
What is the function of spicule other than support?
protection against predators
What adaptations does a sponge have for obtaining food?
Sponges are filter feeders and use choanocytes to create a current for food particles to pass through its body.
What adaptations do saprophytes have?
1 they look like a funny plant 2 their seeds are protected by a sponge like structure present on the top of the fugus
Why are spicules used as a primary characteristic in taxonomy of sponges?
Spicule shapes and mesh structures are essentially the only variable amongst sponge morphology that can be easily differentiated. Sponges are often described as evolutionary dead ends because there is so little variation possible (comparatively) with simple structures and very limited cell types.
What is an amphidisc?
An amphidisc is a spicule with a denticulate wheel at each end, found in freshwater sponges.
