Birds would have trouble flying if they were not symmetrical. Flight is a complicated enough process without having to adjust for differences between the right and left side of the body that is flying. Sponges, on the other hand, just remain in one place. Symmetry would not offer any particular advantage.

How do you calculate the yield of production of sponge iron?

The yield of production of sponge iron is calculated by dividing the weight of sponge iron produced by the total weight of iron ore initially taken for the process, and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage yield. It is important to consider losses during the process to get an accurate yield calculation.


Is there an animal without symmetry?

Individual organisms are obviously rarely symmetrical themselves, so symmetry is referring to a perfect example of the species. There are 3 types of symmetry present in organisms.The first is bilateral symmetry. This is probably the most common, and it is present in humans. It means that the organism can be cut in half and produce two equal sides in one and only one way.The next is radial symmetry. Radial symmetry means that the animal can be cut in half and produce two equal sides in multiple directions, like a sand dollar or a sea star.The last, which your question is about, is asymmetry. This mean the organism exhibits no symmetry at all. An example of this is something like a common sponge in the class demospongiae. Hope this helps!Animals lacking symmetry are known as asymmetrical. This means they lack spherical, radial, and bilateral symmetry. Most commonly, this can be seen among sponges. (yes, sponges are animals :O )All animals start out with some sort of symmetry but then some lose it as they develop into their adult form. One good example would be the oyster.

Arial symmetry


Is an sponge herbivore carnivore omnivore?

sponge are omnivores or detrivores because they feed on living and dead particles


Can you have line of symmetry but not rotational symmetry?

Yes, it is possible to have a shape that has a line of symmetry but does not have rotational symmetry. An example is the letter "K", which has a vertical line of symmetry but cannot be rotated to match its original orientation.
