Depending on the type of sponge, they can reproduce either sexually or asexually. Sexual reproduction of a sponge is when a male sponge releases a large cloud of sperm in the water and when it passes by a female sponge of the same species it passes through special cells called archaeocytes. This funnels the sperm toward the egg cells already in the female sponge to create the larvae. Depending on the type of sponge, the female will either release the larvae soon afterward or store them and release them later. Asexual reproduction of a sponge happens when each individual sponge produces buds, or packets of several cells inside a protective covering which later develops into adult sponges.

Why sponges produce gemmules?
its because the gemmules are like the little packages that hold the start of another sponge, so even if the sponge doesnt survive, the gemmule will, and then when conditions get better the gemmule will make another sponge.
How do sponges survive?
Sponges can regenerate the entire organism from just a conglomeration of their cells. They can be cut up or mashed, and as long as they have two special cells called collencytes, which produce the gelatinous matrix in the sponge, and archeocytes, which produce all the other cells in the spongeâ??s body, the sponge will reform into the sponge it once was. Although, it will look different.
What is the symbotic relationship between a sponge and algae?
Sponges provide a protected environment for algae to live within their tissues, while algae produce food through photosynthesis that benefits the sponge. The algae also help with waste removal by consuming the sponge's metabolic byproducts. This mutually beneficial relationship is called symbiosis.

How do sea sponges produce?
Sponges may reproduce sexually and asexually. Most sponges are hermaphrodites, both male and female. In sexual reproduction, the male sponge releases sperm into the water, which travels in the current and then enters a female sponge. After fertilization in the sponge, a larva is released into the water. It floats around for a few days and then sticks to a solid surface to begin its growth into an adult sponge. Sponges are also able to reproduce asexually through budding. A small piece of sponge breaks off and grows into another sponge with DNA identical to the parent sponge.
Is sponge an insulator?
The dead sponges (and the synthetic sponges) we use for cleaning are insulators. Live sponges are conductors because their tissues are saturated with salt water. It is possible to produce many metals in "sponge" form, as these "sponges" are metallic they are conductors. Gold for example is produced in "sponge" form when extracted with Mercury and the mercury is roasted out. This "gold sponge" is then melted and poured in molds to make bulion.

Does the sea sponge live birth or lay eggs?
Sexual reproduction of a sponge Sponges do not give birth or hatch from an egg. A sponge has both sperm and egg cell. The sponge releases sperm cell. The sperm cell lands in another sponge and fertilizes the egg cell in the sponge. The sperm and egg cell produce a larva. A larva is an immature form of an animal that looks different from the adult form. The larva gets taken away by the current and lands on a hard surface and grows into a sponge. Budding of a sponge ( a form of asexual reproduction) off the sides of a sponge a sponge grows. That sponge breaks off and lands on a hard surface and is a sponge.
