What does the movement of water through a sponge provides?
The movement of water provides a simple mechanism for feeding respiration circulation and excretion.
How does water enter the body of a sponge?
When a sponge is submerged in water, the water enters the sponge through the tiny holes in the sponge. The sponge fills up with water, as a balloon fills with air, only not as visibly. When you squeeze the sponge, the water exits that sponge through the tiny holes...exactly the opposite of how it entered! Tada! :)
Why is water movement through sponge body important for feeding?
Sponges are animals and are heterotrophs- they need to take in nutrients and food for energy. The nutrients are carried by the water into the sponge.
How does a sponge move water through its body?
The sponge uses the choanocytes to move a steady current through its body.
Where does water enter a sponge through?
tiny "whips" on the cells inside a sponge draw water in through the pores of thesponge. Food is then removed from the water before it leaves through the opening at the top of the sponge .
What is a flagellated cell that sweeps water through a sponge's body?
A flagellated cell that sweeps water through a sponge's body is called a choanocyte. Choanocytes have a flagellum that creates a current to bring water through the sponge's pores, allowing for filter feeding and gas exchange to occur within the sponge's body.
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
How do sponges feed respire and excrete?
"clean" water and "waste" water in a sponge are all the same. Their bodies allow constant flow of water, there is no beginning and end to a sponge; thus technically waste water leaves a sponges body through its many pores.
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 some key facts about sponges?
Facts From : Staight a student ok here are the answers....System TypeSponges SystemMuscular-SkeletalA sponge is a hollow tube with many pores or openings. The skeleton is made of lime or silicon.DigestionA sponge takes in food via the water that flows through the pores.NervousA sponge has a very low level reaction to the world around it and does not have a brain per se.CirculationA sponge has water flow in through the pores. The water contains the food and oxygen the sponge needs.RespirationA sponge takes in water through its pores and in more advanced forms, with canals that move the water to all throughout the sponge. Then the oxygen from the water is used.ReproductionA sponge reproduces by budding and also sexually.ExcretionA sponge has carbon dioxide and other wastes removed as the water moves in and out through the pores.SymmetryA sponge has either radial symmetry or is asymmetrical.ColorationA sponge is white, red, orange, green, yellow, brown, purple, black (colors)
The collar cells draw water through the sponge's many pores and into the internal cavity of the sponge by beating their?
flagella
