Sponges have a variety of defenses against predators, including producing toxins, secreting a distasteful substance, releasing mucous to trap predators, and being able to quickly regenerate if damaged. Some sponges can also contract or close their pores to protect themselves.
How could the ability of sponges to regenerate be of value commercially?
The ability of sponges to regenerate has potential commercial value in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. It can be studied to develop new methods for tissue regeneration and wound healing in medical treatments. Sponges may also provide insights into creating bioengineered materials for various applications.
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.
How does fragmentation in sponges differ from reproduction in reptiles?
Fragmentation in sponges involves breaking off a piece of the sponge that grows into a new individual, while reproduction in reptiles usually involves sexual reproduction where eggs are fertilized internally or externally. Sponges can regenerate lost parts easily through fragmentation, while reptiles rely on more complex reproductive strategies to produce offspring.
What is regeneration and why would it not be a good idea to chop up a sponge to try and get rid of it?
Regeneration is the reformation/healing or regrowing of cells and or limbs. Most usually if you chop a sponge it would regenerate if not make two sponges.
What are some special traits of sponges?
Sponges are the simplest multicellular organisms and do not have tissues. They have a porous body with specialized cells called choanocytes that help in filter feeding. They are able to regenerate from small fragments of their body.
Do frogs regenerate?
frogs do regenerate
Do lizards regenerate themseves?

Are sea sponges decomposers?
No, sea sponges are not decomposers. Sponges are filter feeders.
Do sponges have unicellular in them?
no sponges are not unicellular.
