Since I actually did a project/expirement on it , it did . It did soak up a little bit of water.
cotton does soak up a little water. It soaks up water cauzz it has litttle air holes just like the sponge...but it is not made of the same material as sponge soo it wont soak up as much as the sponge
Ah, what a lovely question! The word that rhymes with "make" and means the same as "sponge" is "cake." Just like how a sponge soaks up water, a cake soaks up delicious flavors and moisture. Isn't it wonderful how words can connect us to the beauty of everyday things?
A sea sponge absorbs water through numerous minute, dermal pores on its body surface known as ostia.
neither a sponge would
A sponge is something that has allot of holes, but can still hold/soak up water.
The independent variable is the thing that changes with in the experiment to make it an experiment. For example, say I was doing an experiment on something such as "Which sponge brand can absorb the most water?" The independent variable would be the different sponge brands because it would be the thing that changes with in the experiment. Otherwise, if you didn't make an independent variable (the different sponge brands in this case) it wouldn't be an experiment because a sponge of the same brand should hold about the same amount of water as the others.
No, because the water held within the sponge still adds the the density of the general body of water around it. At most, the tiny weight of the sponge may cause a tiny minute rise in the water level, in the same way as when a person gets into a bath. But it would be so insignificant it would be unnoticable. In this case, however, removing the sponges would therefore decrease the depth of the water.
It can change color when the food dye is in the water the flower soaks up the water and food dye at the same time because the food dye was put in the water.
It's basically a question of balance. Let's say you put a sponge soaked in freshwater into sea water. The sponge represents land, and the water in it is the ground water. At the beginning, the water presssure inside the sponge is pretty much the same as the pressure outside the sponge, so there isn't really anything pushing the sea water in, because the fresh water is pushing back equally hard. Now you put a straw into the sponge(drill a well), and start sucking the fresh water out. Suddenly, there's less freshwater pushing the sea water back, and it will begin to seep in.

"clean" water and "waste" water in a sponge are all the same. Their bodies allow constant flow of water, there is no beginning and end to a sponge; thus technically waste water leaves a sponges body through its many pores.
osculum and ostia are the holes in the sponge that can be used as mouths
