How are nutrients dispersed to all of the cells of a sponge?
In sponges, water containing nutrients flows through numerous channels in their body. Specialized cells called choanocytes capture nutrients from the water and pass them onto other cells in the sponge's body for distribution. This allows for the efficient dispersal of nutrients to all cells in the sponge.
Which are buds formed inside a sponge during asexual reproduction called?
The buds formed inside a sponge during asexual reproduction are called gemmules. These structures contain a cluster of cells surrounded by a protective layer and can detach from the sponge to form a new individual under favorable conditions.
Where are the collar cells located in a sponge?
within the canals of the sponge :D
Where are collar cells located and what are the two functions of these specialized cells?
Choanocyte (collar cells) are any of the flagellated cells located in the body cavity of a sponge. They surround the base of the flagellum. The function of these cells is to maintain the flow of water through the body of the sponge.

It takes place inside the cells

How does a sponge breathe?
Sponges get oxygen by taking water through it's pores. The water moves over cells inside the sponge and oxygen in the water moves into the sponge's cells.
Can individual sponge cells live independently?
Yes; if you were to place a sponge in the blender the individual sponge cells are capable of living independently.
Is a jellyfisha sponge?
a jellyfish is a cnidarian and closer related to coral and sea anemones however they are similar. A sponge lacks a nervous system, Cells in each layer are not bound together, has many cells in the middle "jelly" layer, and -likely their most distinguishing feature- the Cells in a sponge's outer layers can move inwards and change functions.

What is the function of sponocoel?
A spongocoel is the cavity inside a sponge, such as Grantia, that is lined with flagellated cells and stores the food (tiny particles and bacteria) the sponge receives from filter-feeding. Inside the spongocoel, food particles are trapped on a layer of mucilaginous material and transported into the sponge's cells for digestion.

Are sponge cells organized into tissues?
No, sponge cells are not organized into tissues like in other animals. Instead, sponge cells are loosely organized into a gel-like matrix where they can move and change functions depending on the needs of the organism. This unique structure allows sponges to filter food particles from the water that passes through their body.
When does a sponge produce genmmules?
Depending on the type of sponge, they can reproduce either sexually or asexually. Sexual reproduction of a sponge is when a male sponge releases a large cloud of sperm in the water and when it passes by a female sponge of the same species it passes through special cells called archaeocytes. This funnels the sperm toward the egg cells already in the female sponge to create the larvae. Depending on the type of sponge, the female will either release the larvae soon afterward or store them and release them later. Asexual reproduction of a sponge happens when each individual sponge produces buds, or packets of several cells inside a protective covering which later develops into adult sponges.
How does the sponge defend itself from prey?
a sponge defends its self by using its stinging cells! :)
How are all the cells of a sponge alike How are they different?
They are alike because they all move around,
