The pores in a sponge are used to filter the water, and while doing that they collect food to eat
They are filter feeders. They filter water through they're pores and extract the particles from the water.
The body of a sponge is covered in tiny openings called pores. These pores allow water to flow in and out of the sponge, which helps the sponge filter out food particles and oxygen from the surrounding water.
Yes! A sponge is a filter feeder that feeds on small particles in the water.
Sponges obtain food by filter feeding. They draw in water through pores on their body and filter out tiny particles, such as bacteria and plankton, to feed on. The water is then expelled through a larger opening called the osculum.
The sponges are filter feeders, that means the surronding sea water circulate throught the canal system they have and the absorb the organic matter the water carries as their food.
The orange puffball sponge is a filter feeder, meaning it traps tiny particles from the water that passes through its body. It uses its flagella to generate water currents, bringing in plankton and other small organisms that it feeds on. Once trapped, the particles are engulfed by specialized cells called choanocytes.
a sea sponge uses energy when mating and filtering food :)
A sponge obtains food and oxygen by using its cells to filter the food and oxygen particles from the water around it. It can also filter in bacteria and algae. The filtered water also helps to carry away a sponges waste. A sponge is sessile, or usually attached to one place for its whole life, luckily the current continusly moves the water so that it is always clean around the sponge. I hope I have amnaged to help you. Good luck! =)
They filter feed. This means that water flows through the pores in their bodies and special cells with hairs strain the water and keep tiny food particles for the sponge to digest.
All sponges draw water in, catch water borne food particles, and then expel the water over and over, they are known as filter feeders.
Sponges are consumers, as they are animals that filter feed on particles suspended in water to obtain their food. They do not produce their own food through photosynthesis like plants do.
