Do sea sponges have a diploblastic or triploblastic body organization?

spoges are diploblastic because they have radial symmetryone's having rad. sym. are diplo.and one's having bilateral are triploblasticThis is a true statement, but what we find in animal biology is that there are exceptions to most of the rules. Sponges, or the phylum Porifera do not have true tissues. They are metazoa at their cellular grade of construction, not eumetazoa. If you look at phylogenic tree, you will see that sponges are not directly related to cnidarians, which are radial symmetric and diploblastic. Some sponges are radial symmetric, however the class of sponges, demospongiae, have many species of sponges which have leuconoid body-plans, which are asymmetrical. These are mostly freshwater sponges. So therefore, sponges are not triploblastic or diploblastic, they are neither since they possess no true tissues.


What are unnatural sponges made of?

In the 1940s, synthetic sponges were invented and patented by the DuPont Company. They were made primarily with sodium sulphate, hemp fiber, and cellulose derived from wood pulp; and secondarily with bleach, chemical softeners, and dye. In 1952, the synthetic sponge-making process was sold to General Mills. Since then, synthetic sponges have successfully competed with natural sponges for most common household uses.

What are ecologicaly importants of the sponges?

the importance of sponge is it can be a protection of fishAs Food.:Even though sponges are rarely taken as food by other animals, crustaceans are found leading parasitic life on them and some molluscs like nudibranchs depend on them for their diet.As commensals.:Sponges serve as protective houses for animals like crustaceans, molluscs, small fishes, etc. In addition to the protection, the animals that live inside the sponge get a rich food supply from the water circulating through them.Other uses: The dried, fibrous skeleton of many sponges like Spongia, Hippospongia and Euspongia are used for the purpose of bathing, polishing, washing cars, walls, furnitures, and scrubbing floor etc. The skeleton of some sponges like Euplectella are of great commercial value and used as decorative pieces.

Are sponges natural or manmade?

Natural sponges are way more expensive. And since they grow fairly slow and have to be harvested during rather nasty working conditions(by hand, by divers) they're not the most ethical of products.
