Sea Cucumbers

Sea Cucumbers live in the deep ocean, so they live in salt water.

tentacles that capures small plants called plankton oragan matter

well it depends on what type of sea sponge your talking about there are many different kinda an they all have different sizes

No; sea cucumbers are animals and transparent sea cucumbers are plants.

because of their internal structure

they look like cucumber with big fat as prickles all over .

sea cucumbers are normally 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) long, 1.5 to 2.0 inches (3.8 to 5.1 cm) in diameter and are often curled up, partially covered with sand from the sea floor.

The tentacles surround the mouth of the sea cucumber, and are covered with a thin film of mucus. Small particls in the water stick toa the coating and covers the tentacles. When a tentcle becomes saturated, the cucumber puts it in its mouth and literally sucks off the food particles. Summary of that little paragraph: Tentacles are the first stage of the Digestive System. They grab food and put it in the mouth.

It is dependent on the environmental water temperature.

Sea cucumbers expel their internal organs as a defense mechanism known as autotomy. When threatened by predators, they can eject their organs to distract and incapacitate the attacker, allowing them to escape. Remarkably, sea cucumbers can regenerate these lost organs over time, which helps ensure their survival in harsh environments. This unique adaptation highlights their resilience and ability to cope with predation.

No, a sea cucumber is not a sponge. Sea cucumbers are marine animals belonging to the echinoderm phylum, which also includes starfish and sea urchins. They have a soft, elongated body and are part of the animal kingdom, while sponges are simple, multicellular organisms classified under the phylum Porifera. The two groups differ significantly in structure, function, and biology.

Sea cucumbers have mouths on the tip of their bodies they eat just like a worm except the fact that they have spiked rigid skin.

The emperor shrimp (Periclimenes imperator) has a symbiotic relationship with sea cucumbers, often residing on their bodies for protection and camouflage. In this relationship, the shrimp benefits by gaining a safe habitat and access to food particles that may be stirred up by the sea cucumber's movements. In return, the sea cucumber experiences minimal harm from the shrimp’s presence, as the shrimp does not feed on the cucumber itself. This mutualistic interaction illustrates the interconnectedness of marine ecosystems.
