How does structure affact function in biology?
Let's take a sponge for an example. A sponge's function is to what? Be aerodynamic? No. It's porous STRUCTURE allows passage of organisms or cells to transport whatever it is they need to transport to wherever it is they need to go. It's function would be to protect those things during its path of travel. Done. I hope that makes sense.

What is the role of spicules sponges?
Spicules, like our skeleton, give the sponge structure. Without spicules, Sponge Bob would be Sponge Blob.

What is the sharp structure called in a sponges body?
The sharp structure found in a sponge's body is called spicules. These spicules provide structural support and protection for the sponge.
What structural protein found in all sponges is?
The structural protein found in all sponges is collagen. It provides support and structure to the sponge's body, allowing it to maintain its shape and function.
Why is soap much more dense than a sponge?
Soap is more dense than a sponge because it is more compact and has a higher weight per unit volume compared to the porous structure of a sponge, which has a lot of empty space within its structure. This makes soap feel heavier and more solid than a sponge when comparing their densities.
What is the function of the osculum?
The osculum is an excretory structure in the living sponge, a large opening to the outside through which the current of water exits after passing through the spongocoel. Wastes diffuse into the water and the water exits through the osculum at a velocity of nearly 8.4 cm/second, carrying away with it the sponge's wastes. The size of the osculum is regulated by the myocyte. Its size, in turn, determines the amount of water flowing through the sponge.
