1. spicules (calcium carbonate or silica)
2. spongin (protein)
In concert halls the walls are made out of acoustic materials. The materials, as well as the amplifier may result in multiple echoes in a concert hall.
They may be manufactured wholly or partially of leather, plastic, or fabric, or from a combination of these materials

Hip prostheses may be made of metal, ceramic, plastic, or various combinations of these materials.
Typically there are no minerals in an ukulele. Metal and wood are the primary materials. There may be traces in the finish and adhesives.
bone and cartilage
Although sponges do not have a skeletal system they do have skeleton components that may be made of silicon or lime. A sponge is found in the ocean and is a hollow tube that has several large pores throughout it.
Spicule shapes and mesh structures are essentially the only variable amongst sponge morphology that can be easily differentiated. Sponges are often described as evolutionary dead ends because there is so little variation possible (comparatively) with simple structures and very limited cell types.
"yes", If you take a piece off of a sponge it will grow another sponge.
because the skeleton is the blow and the spirit to the may an sword.

This is from www.reefnews.com: This Purple Tube Sponge colony lives on a dead coralhead. The coral may have succombed to the algae and sponges that grew over the polyps and killed them. Now the skeleton of the coral supports a variety of sponges and algae. Sponges are colonies of thousands of individual cells. The cells work together, pumping water through the body of the sponge. The tall tube is in the shape of a "chimney." This chimney is an exhaust tube, where the water pumped by the sponge comes out. The sponge eats the plankton it filters out of the water as the water is pumped through the body of the sponge. Animals that eat sponges and algae help to keep a healthy balance on the reef. If there are too few of these animals, then the sponges and algae may take over. Examples of algae eaters are Parrotfishes, Sea Urchins, and Crabs. Examples of sponge eaters are Hawksbill Turtles and Loggerhead Turtles.
Even though a sponge may be the same size as a book, the sponge has hundreds of holes in it. The book has far more material in the same amount of space that the sponge takes up. In other words, the book is far more dense than the sponge.

osculum - a large opening in a sponge through which water flows out of the sponge. Sponges may have more than one oscula.
