Which phylum consists of filter feeders that do not actually have a mouth or gut?
Porifera, also known as sponges, are filter feeders that lack a true mouth or gut. They filter microscopic organisms and particles from the water to obtain nutrition through specialized cells in their bodies.
What do sycon eat?
Sycon sponges are filter feeders that sift microscopic particles of food from the water that passes through them.
Why does filtering not remove microscopic organisms?
the pores in the filter may be too large
What do porifera eat?
Porifera are sponges, and many animals eat sponges, including nudibranchs and some specialized fish.
What is food that filter feeders eat a lot?
Most filter feeders eat plankton or zooplankton. Filter feeders can include sponges, herring fish, and baleen whales. Filter feeders obtain their food by straining food particles or organisms from the water around them
What is baleen and what is the purpose?
Baleen is the filter system baleen whales use to feed on microscopic organisms.
What do sponges eat?
they eat random sh** floating in the water such as microcopic organisms. they are filter feeders.
Are sponges filter feeders?
Yes, sponges are filter feeders. I also believe they were the first filter feeders.
Are sea sponges decomposers?
No, sea sponges are not decomposers. Sponges are filter feeders.
How do sponges get nutriton?
Sponges filter their food when water flows by.
What is the phylum of all are sessile?
Porifera is the phylum that includes all sessile organisms, such as sponges. These organisms are simple, filter-feeding animals that attach themselves to substrates and do not move from place to place.
What is the difference between freshwater and marine sponges. Why is there no terrestrial sponge?
Freshwater sponges are delicate in structure, growing as encrusting or branching masses. They usually appear greenish because of the algae that live on them. Freshwater sponges may attain a volume of more than 2,500 cubic centimeters (150 cubic inches). Marine sponges are natural bath sponges (with living cells removed) that we all are familiar with. They actually are the oldest and simplest animals that have been living on earth for millions of years. Marine sponges are filter-feeding animals because all adult sponges are sessile and can't move around benthic surface. Marine sponges have no true tissues or organs, just constructed with layers of cells even without nervous system. Marine sponges come in different but striking colors, bright red, purple, yellow, and brown, etc. These colors and some are toxic as well may help them defend from sponge eating invertebrates and some fishes. Some other small marine organisms, fishes, and microscopic organisms often call marine sponges their homes. There are no terrestrial sponges because they are filter feeders obtain from water particles.
