Sponges (Porifera)Sponges are aquatic animals that make up the phylum Porifera (pohr-IF-uhr-uh). These simple organisms clearly represent the transition from unicellular to multicellular life.
"Poriferans" is the scientific term for sponges, members of the animal phylum Porifera, which means "pore-bearer" in Greek. Sponges are the simplest animals known. Unlike all other animal phyla, which have two or three-layered body plans (diploblastic or triploblastic), sponges have only a single body layer (monoblastic), and no true tissues. They have no appendages and no ability to make any movements, lacking muscle tissues. Sponges are exclusively aquatic.
Because no other animal has anything like collar cells..
Animals that are asexual reproduce by budding.... a small part of them will fall of and will make a small duplicate of itself.. mostly in sponges and anenomes
Animals with backbones (a spine) make up veterbraes, this includes most animals species but it does not include any insects or sponges. What it does include is mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians.
Sponges lack a true body cavity.Sponges exhibit radial symmetry.Sponges lack true tissues.Sponges are autotrophs.Sponges have a true coelom.-@leilooni
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.
To make you learn a lesson. Often made with animals that have humans characteristics.a short story with talking animals and at the end of the story it has a moral
There are two characteristics. One is that plants are autotrophs. They have chlorophyll which enables them to use inorganic substances for the production of food. However, animals are heterotrophs. No animal can make its own food. The second one is that plant cells have cell walls whereas animal cells don't. There several other characteristics like locomotion but there some exceptions in animals like sponges (belonging to the phylum Porifera) for example cannot move in spite of being an animal.
Sponges
poke a hole in it
Protista are neither plants nor animals. They have characteristics of both plants and animals. They make their own food just like plants but move around like animals.
