Why are coelenterates more advanced than sponges?
sponges are made up of individual cells. I dont know about colentrates. They just are what they are. sponges also don't move while coelenterates do.
How are sponges and coelentrates different?
Sponges are of the phylum porifera and are assymetrical invertebrates that have no true tissues due to a lack of cell specialization. Coelenterates are any of the phylum cnidariathat have radial symmetry and are invertebrates. Coelenterates include corals, sea anemones, jellyfish, and hydroids.
Why sponges and coelenterates are important to humans?
Because they can help us. By Born born again andagain..
Do sponges live in fresh water?
No because it makes filter-feeding impossible for the sponges No because it makes filter-feeding impossible for the sponges
Do sponges filter water?
Yes, sponges filter water as a primary means of feeding. They have specialized cells called choanocytes that create water currents and capture small particles, such as bacteria and organic matter, from the water. As water flows through their porous bodies, sponges effectively filter out nutrients while expelling the filtered water. This unique feeding mechanism is essential for their survival and plays a role in maintaining water quality in their ecosystems.
What do you mean by diploplastic?
Diploblastic is generally referred to as "having a body derived from only two embryonic cell layers (ectoderm and endoderm, but no mesoderm), as in sponges and coelenterates".
What type of animal uses flagella to assist in filter feeding?
sponges
Why are sponges called pore-bearing animals?
sponges are many holes or pores in them which the use for feeding and such.they also belong to the phylum porifera,which means "pore bearing."
Do jellyfish use collar cells for filter feeding?
Jellyfish do not have collar cells. Sponges have collar cells, and yes, they are used for filter feeding.
What are the kinds of vertebrates and invertebrates?
Vertebrates: # Fish # Amphibians # Reptiles # Birds # Mammals Invertebrates: # Sponges # Cnidarians (formerly called Coelenterates) # Worms # Mollusks # Arthropods (Arachnids, Crustaceans, Millipedes and Centipedes, Insects)
What group within the kingdom protists gave rise to sponges?
Sponges are believed to have evolved from a group of protists known as choanoflagellates. These unicellular organisms possess a flagellum surrounded by a collar of microvilli, which helps in feeding and is similar to the feeding cells in sponges. Molecular and genetic evidence supports the close evolutionary relationship between choanoflagellates and the earliest sponges, marking a significant transition from single-celled to multicellular life forms.
What is involved in both the feeding and the sexual reproduction in sponges?
In feeding, sponges use specialized cells called choanocytes to create water currents that bring in food particles, which are then engulfed and digested. In sexual reproduction, sponges can reproduce either sexually through the release of eggs and sperm into the water for external fertilization, or asexually through budding or fragment regeneration.
