Yes it is
The class of the mermaid's glove sponge is Demospongiae, which is the largest and most diverse class of sponges. They are characterized by having a skeleton made of spongin fibers or siliceous spicules.
During the development of the canal system in sponges, spongo cells, or spongocytes, play a crucial role in synthesizing and secreting spongin, the fibrous protein that forms the sponge's supportive skeleton. As the sponge matures, spongo cells can differentiate or transform into other cell types, contributing to the overall structure and function of the sponge. Ultimately, spongo cells may either remain active in producing spongin or undergo apoptosis as the sponge's architecture stabilizes. Their fate is integral to maintaining the sponge's integrity and adaptation to its aquatic environment.
A sponge's body is composed of a simple multicellular structure with specialized cells that work together to perform basic functions such as obtaining food, reproducing, and maintaining internal stability. The body of a sponge is supported by a porous skeleton made of a fibrous protein called spongin and/or mineral spicules.
To hold the animal together, can't think of any other reason really.
Yes it is.
a sponge skeleton
a. the flagella b. the sponge skeleton c.the hard spicules Is sponge skeleton

raw calcium.
The spicule in a sponge is its skeleton. It provides strength in the sponge.
Spicules, like our skeleton, give the sponge structure. Without spicules, Sponge Bob would be Sponge Blob.
The three classes of sponge skeletons are siliceous or glass sponges (Class Hexactinellida), calcareous sponges (Class Calcarea), and sponges with a fibrous protein skeleton (Class Demospongiae). Each class has unique structural characteristics that support the sponge's body.
Not really.
In insects there is a skeleton of cutin , cuticle , carotin while in sponges there are namatocytes
not really..,,not really..,,
You cant really fix a sponge but maybe with some duct tape.
1. spicules (calcium carbonate or silica) 2. spongin (protein)
