A sea sponge has no specific shape(each one differs depending on how the sponge grows, which depends on environmental and genetic factors). It grows as a filter organism, taking in nutrient-rich water and expelling water with all or most of the nutrients removed. An artificial sponge can be just about any shape or size, depending on what the manufacturer wishes for it to be like.
It changes shape because the water which absorbes into the sponge makes the sponge ore spongey to be squashed and moveable.
Sort of, Solids have a fixed shape, while liquids have no fixed shape.
Solids are substances which have a fixed volume and fixed shape. Liquids, on the other hand, have a fixed volume but no definite shape. Finally, gases don't have a definite volume or shape.
Yes, liquids have a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. They take the shape of their container due to their ability to flow and assume the shape of the space they occupy.
A liquid has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape. If you put it into a graduated cylinder, it will take the shape of the cylinder. If you put it into a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl.
Sponge is a solid as it has a fixed shape
A sponge is considered a solid because its particles are closely packed together, giving it a fixed shape and volume. However, it is compressible because the particles can be forced closer together under pressure, allowing the sponge to reduce its volume when squeezed.
A sponge has an asymmetrical symmetry. So they don't have a definite shape.
solid and gas . Solid because it has a fixed shape and gas because it can be compressed * * * * * It is a solid. The fact that it can be compressed does not make it a gas. The compression is simply because a sponge contains a large number of spaces that are filled with gas but the gas there (air) is not part of the sponge.
The sponge is considered to be asymmetrical because it is not a perfect shape, and it is generally an off shape.
It changes shape because the water which absorbes into the sponge makes the sponge ore spongey to be squashed and moveable.
One could be a fixed shape like a brick or cube and the other could be something less dense like a sponge, potato or a tube of toothpaste.
No, liquids do not have a fixed volume - their volume is that of the container
A gas has no fixed volume or shape.
spongey
A solid has a fixed volume and does not change shape.
The phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume because the particles are close together but can move past each other.
