What else can I help you with?
Which is more absorbent sea sponges or synthetic sponges?
Sea Sponges, They Absorb The Most Water Or Any Fluid And Synthetic Sponges Don't Have As Much Absorbency, Also They Don't Have As Many Holes.
What kind of sponge is sponge bob?
SpongeBob is a sea sponge even though he is shaped like a synthetic kitchen sponge.
Are sponges safe to use?
yes
When were kitchen sponges invented?
Synthetic (or man made) sponges were first developed and produced by Du Point in 1942.
How much deeper will the ocean be without sponges?
Sponges displace the ocean's water, and the water that they do "suck up" becomes part of their volume, and thus has no effect on the depth of the oceans. When you remove sponges, they will no longer displace water in the ocean, so the ocean will actually be shallower.
Skeletal support in sponges may be provided by?
Sponges lack true skeletons, but some species have structural elements made of mineralized spicules or a protein-based skeletal framework. These structures provide support and help maintain the sponge's shape, allowing it to filter water efficiently.
What are the small skeletal projections called found in sponges?
Spicules
What are the skeleton components possibly made of that sponges may have although sponges do not have a skeletal system?
Although sponges do not have a skeletal system they do have skeleton components that may be made of silicon or lime. A sponge is found in the ocean and is a hollow tube that has several large pores throughout it.
What spicules made of?
Spicules are made of calcium carbonate or silica. These are tiny, needle-like skeletal structures found in marine sponges that provide support and protection to the organism.
Does a orange elephant ear sponge have a skeletal system?
No sponges have skeletons.
Are sponges endo or exo?
They're invertebrates. They have no skeletal structure at all
Do all multicellular organisms have skeletal systems?
No, not all multicellular organisms have skeletal systems. While many animals, such as vertebrates, possess internal or external skeletons for support and protection, other multicellular organisms, like jellyfish or sponges, lack a skeletal structure. Instead, they rely on other means, such as hydrostatic pressure or a soft body structure, for support and movement. In summary, skeletal systems are not a universal feature among multicellular organisms.
What kind of special traits do sponges have?
Sponges have unique cellular structures that allow them to filter feed by pumping water through their bodies. They can regenerate from small pieces of tissue, making them resilient to damage. Sponges also have a simple body plan with specialized cells that can perform different functions, such as capturing food or secreting skeletal elements.
Skeletal is to support as immune is to?
Skeletal is to support as immune is to recognition or protection
Do sponges have a support system?
No
Do sponges have hydrostatic skeletons?
Sponges do not have hydrostatic skeletons. Instead, they possess a simple body structure supported by a matrix called mesohyl, which contains various cells and skeletal elements like spicules and collagen fibers. This structure provides support and helps maintain the sponge’s shape, but it lacks the fluid-filled cavities characteristic of hydrostatic skeletons found in other animals. Thus, sponges rely on a different mechanism for structural support.
What are two substances give the sponge support?
Support is basically provided by the calciferous and siliceous spicules it is covered with throughout. The spicules form the skeletal framework of the sponge. Also. the sponge is attached to the stratum via base, which adheres it to a fixed spot.
