What is the predator of a spong?
Most sponges prey on plankton.
Differentiate feeding mechanism of coelenterates and sponges?
Sponges smell of soap which is ok, also feeding mechanism is stupid, it's also very lazy. Just feed yourself or the animal yourself with the normal food.
How spongin and spicules discourage predator from eating sponges?
Spongin and spicules are the sponges body support and defence. They both cover a sponge, and if a predator eats it it will be hurt. It will be hard to eat it, because of the sharpness and roughness of the outside. Well at least in the spicules case.
Do sponges have protection?
Yes. They can release spikes. When a potential predator touches a spike, it releases poison.
Do sponges have hydrostatic skeletons?
Sponges do not have hydrostatic skeletons. Instead, they possess a simple body structure supported by a matrix called mesohyl, which contains various cells and skeletal elements like spicules and collagen fibers. This structure provides support and helps maintain the sponge’s shape, but it lacks the fluid-filled cavities characteristic of hydrostatic skeletons found in other animals. Thus, sponges rely on a different mechanism for structural support.
What is the Azure Vase Sponge predator?
yes we as humans are destroying sponge and that makes us a preditor to these sponges
How do sponges diget their food?
Sponges are made of several cell types that each have certain functions. The ameobacyte (or ameoba-type cell) digests food that is driven to it by the collar cells, which each possess a flagellum
Why do nudibranches eat toxic sponges?
The reasons why any animal eats a particular organism is never clear. A top reason why Nudibranchs might eat 'toxic sponges' is that there was not much else available to eat and it was easy to eat the sponges. These sponges were a niche that was unfilled and the Nudibranches adapted to take it. The sponges are still partially toxic to Nudibranchs! They often have specially lined stomachs to protect them from the sponges sharp spicules and the toxins from the sponge accumulate in them. When a predator tries to eat a nudibranch it gets a nasty mouthful of these toxins.
How do spongin and spicules discourage predators from eating sponges?
Spongin and spicules are the sponges body support and defence. They both cover a sponge, and if a predator eats it it will be hurt. It will be hard to eat it, because of the sharpness and roughness of the outside. Well at least in the spicules case.
Are sponges predators scavengers filter feeders herbivores or carnivores?
is a whale shark a forager grazer filterfeeder predator scavenger and parasite
Do sea sponges have a diploblastic or triploblastic body organization?
spoges are diploblastic because they have radial symmetryone's having rad. sym. are diplo.and one's having bilateral are triploblasticThis is a true statement, but what we find in animal biology is that there are exceptions to most of the rules. Sponges, or the phylum Porifera do not have true tissues. They are metazoa at their cellular grade of construction, not eumetazoa. If you look at phylogenic tree, you will see that sponges are not directly related to cnidarians, which are radial symmetric and diploblastic. Some sponges are radial symmetric, however the class of sponges, demospongiae, have many species of sponges which have leuconoid body-plans, which are asymmetrical. These are mostly freshwater sponges. So therefore, sponges are not triploblastic or diploblastic, they are neither since they possess no true tissues.
