Pores in a sponge allow water to flow through its body, facilitating the process of feeding. As water enters through the pores, it carries tiny food particles and microorganisms, which are filtered out by specialized cells called choanocytes. These cells use their flagella to create a water current and trap food particles, allowing the sponge to absorb nutrients while expelling waste through larger openings. This filtration system enables sponges to efficiently feed and thrive in their aquatic environments.
What else can I help you with?
Does a sponge have spores?

What are sponge pores called?
ostium ostia
How does the sponge absorption process work and what factors affect the efficiency of sponge absorption?
The sponge absorption process works by soaking up liquid through tiny pores in the sponge material. Factors that affect the efficiency of sponge absorption include the material of the sponge, the size of the pores, the density of the sponge, and the surface area of the sponge.
What are little whips that move through the sponge?
Little whips are flagella that help pump water through the pores for food.
I have a science experiment to do. How do you do a sponge absorbency project?
Oh that's quite simple. Find a sponge and get a bowl. Put the sponge in the water and explain how the pores in the sponge suck in the water as you put pressure on it. As you squeeze it explain that the pores release the water through them.
What are pores and where are pores on a sponges body?
Allow materials to enter and leave the sponge
What does a pore do in a sponge?
The pores in a sponge are used to filter the water, and while doing that they collect food to eat
Why does a sponge need to be absorbent?
because it has pores that absorb water
Does sponges a sponge get oxegyn from water?
Water is brought through cilia-lined pores into the hollow cavity of the sponge. As water passes through the pores, the cilia trap oxygen to breathe
