Sponges may not rise due to several factors, including insufficient leavening agents like baking powder or yeast, which are essential for creating air pockets. Additionally, if the batter is overmixed, it can develop gluten, resulting in a dense texture that hinders rising. Another possibility is that the ingredients, particularly eggs, were not at room temperature, affecting the batter's ability to aerate properly. Lastly, expired ingredients or incorrect oven temperatures can also prevent sponges from rising effectively.
Choanoflagellates are a group within kingdom Protista that are thought to be the closest living relatives to sponges. This is based on similarities in cell structure and genetic sequences between choanoflagellates and sponge cells.
Sponges are believed to have evolved from a group of protists known as choanoflagellates. These unicellular organisms possess a flagellum surrounded by a collar of microvilli, which helps in feeding and is similar to the feeding cells in sponges. Molecular and genetic evidence supports the close evolutionary relationship between choanoflagellates and the earliest sponges, marking a significant transition from single-celled to multicellular life forms.
No, sea sponges are not decomposers. Sponges are filter feeders.
The purpose of chocolate in sponge cakes or any other recipe is to provide chocolate flavor. It does not help the sponge to rise or anything else.
no sponges are not unicellular.
No, sponges are not parasitic.
no sponges do not have bones
Sponges are asymmetrical, although a few species have nearly radial symmetry.
No sponges lack organized multicellular organs, such as nerves and muscles.
To answer your question no sponges do not hibernate
Yes sponges have organs.
No. Sponges are animals, which are heterotrophic.
