They can reproduce sexually and asexually.
Azure vase sponges are filter feeders, meaning they primarily capture and consume plankton and other small particles from the water. They use specialized cells called choanocytes to filter out food particles and absorb nutrients.
yes we as humans are destroying sponge and that makes us a preditor to these sponges
plankton
The sponges reproduce by (a) budding or (b) regeneration
They reproduce Asexually
Yes.
Vase sponges, belonging to the class Demospongiae, are known for their distinctive funnel or vase-like shape, which helps in filtering water and capturing nutrients. They are primarily found in marine environments, often attached to substrates in shallow waters. These sponges can grow quite large, with some species reaching several feet in height. Additionally, vase sponges play a crucial role in their ecosystems by providing habitats for various marine organisms.
by budding and sexually
Sponges can reproduce sexually or asexually. They can reproduce through producing eggs and sperm that are released into the water where they can combine to form larvae. Asexual reproduction can occur through budding, fragmentation, or producing gemmules.
Sponges can reproduce sexually or asexually
Bacteria, yeast, sponges
No, sponges do not undergo meiosis as they reproduce through a process called fragmentation or budding where new individuals develop from a parent sponge. Meiosis is typically found in organisms that reproduce sexually to produce gametes.
