How does digestion in cnidarians differ from digestion in sponges?
Digestion in cnidarians occurs through a gastrovascular cavity where food is captured using specialized cells called nematocysts, and partially digested within this central cavity. In contrast, sponges lack a digestive cavity and instead filter feed by drawing water through their porous bodies, trapping food particles with specialized cells called choanocytes. This means that cnidarians can digest food more actively and internally, while sponges rely on external filtering and cellular uptake for nourishment.

Vertebrates digest food in digestive tracts. cnidarians accomplish the same function using?
Cnidarians accomplish digestion using a gastrovascular cavity, which serves both digestive and circulatory functions. Food is taken in through a single opening, where it is digested extracellularly, and the nutrients are then absorbed by the surrounding cells. This simple body plan allows cnidarians, such as jellyfish and sea anemones, to efficiently process their food without a complex digestive system.

How does method by which cnidarians obtain food differ from method by which poriferans obtain food?
Poriferans needs organic substances and cnidarians needs of a gastrovascular cavity with openings.
How do cnidarians eat?
Mainly through suspension feeding. Cnidarians use stinging tentacles (nomocytes) to capture their prey. Once the tentacles grab the food it is absorbed in the gastrovascular cavity (stomach) and taken in asnutrients.
