Sponges primarily obtain nutrients through filter feeding, drawing in water through their porous bodies. They capture microscopic particles such as bacteria, plankton, and organic detritus using specialized cells called choanocytes, which have flagella that create water currents. Additionally, sponges can absorb dissolved organic matter directly from the surrounding water. This combination of filter feeding and absorption allows sponges to thrive in various aquatic environments.

The nutrients which serve as the main sources of energy for the body are?
The nutrients that serve as the main sources of energy for the body are carbohydrates. The body uses the carbohydrates to make glucose which is the basic functional molecule of energy in cells.
How are nutrients dispersed to all of the cells of a sponge?
In sponges, water containing nutrients flows through numerous channels in their body. Specialized cells called choanocytes capture nutrients from the water and pass them onto other cells in the sponge's body for distribution. This allows for the efficient dispersal of nutrients to all cells in the sponge.

How does a sponge-like fungus absorb nutrients from its environment?
A sponge-like fungus absorbs nutrients from its environment through its porous structure, which allows it to take in water and dissolved nutrients. These nutrients are then absorbed by the fungus through its cell walls and used for growth and reproduction.
Does a sea sponge have a oneway or a twoway digestive system?
Neither. A sea sponge uses diffusion for getting its nutrients.
What is a collar cell's function in a sponge?
They improve both respiratory and digestive functions for the sponge, pulling in oxygen and nutrients and allowing a rapid expulsion of carbon dioxide and other waste products.

What Nutrients Provide Energy?
There are three main nutrients that provide energy which are carbohydrates, proteins and fats. They are also called macronutrients and are needed for metabolism, growth and other body functions.
