On the Board
Sponge Structure
Pores: tiny openings
Spicule: small, hard needlelike structure of a sponge
Jelly-like Cells: digest and distribute food, remove wastes
Collar Cells: whiplike structures that move water and trap food
Flagellum: whip-like structure on collar cells
No definite symmetry
Body multicellular, few tissues, no organs.
Hollow body; Cells and tissues surround a water filled space
Often have a skeleton of spikes called spicules..
Spicules also protect the sponge from predators.

Mostly in oceans, but also found in freshwater rivers and lakes.
Live attached to something as an adult

Classwork-Homework

On the Board
Systems
Ingestion
     All are filter feeders
     Eat tiny single-celled organisms.
     Collar cells that line the hollow body trap the organisms
Digestion
     Jelly-like cells digest the food
Nervous System
     Has no nervous system
Respiration
     Water passes over cells inside the sponge, oxygen moves into cells
Reproduction
     Asexual Reproduction
       Budding small new sponges grow and break off from sides of sponge
       Sexual Reproduction
          Sponges have both eggs and sperm.
          Sperm cells are released in the water.
          They enter another sponge and fertilize the eggs.
          A larva develops and water currents carry it away.

Sponge Lab and Questions

Sponge or Cnidarian Life Cycle Poster Get into groups of four. One pair picks the sponges and the other the cnidarians. Use butcher paper & markers to create the life cycles. After drawn, each pair should teach the other pair about their respective phylum. Include structure labeling, body and tissue forms, methods of reproduction or method of multiplying, and so on. Be sure to include caption explanations. Each pair will be receiving a poster grade and then a group grade based on a randomly selected student that has to explain the life cycle.

About Sponges

Introduction to Sponges Sponges are the simplest of the multicellular animals. They have no organ systems and are characterized by numerous canals and chambers that open to the outside by way of pores which giving this phylum its name. Many sponges are asymmetrical, but some exhibit radial symmetry. They are almost plant-like in their simplicity and are often confused as being plants.

Sponges: Ocean Animals

Sponges: Phylum Porifera Sponges are bottom-dwelling creatures that attach themselves to something solid so they can, hopefully, receive enough food to grow. Sponges may look like plants but actually are the most simple animal.

Welcome to My Sponge Page Interesting facts about sponges, pictures of sponges, and a Sponge True-or-False test

Wet World of Sponges Scientists believe that sponges were the first animals to be alive. The ancestors of today's sponges were alive billions of years ago. Sponges have looked the same for millions of years. They are the most simple of all animals, with no brain or organs, but they have been helping mankind and nature for as long as they have been on the planet.
