The predicted consequence is that drinking only this kind of water could definitely cause death, because it is HYPOTONIC(less solute) and cell is HYPERTONIC(more solute) so their fore the water goes toward solute because of osmosis and it would make the cells expand and finally explode and eventually it will cause death.

_____ are sessile animals that have specialized cells called amoebocytes and choanocytes.
Artemon [7]

Sponges are sessile animals that have specialized cells called amoebocytes and choanocytes.

Sponges (phylum Porifera) are one of the simpllest multicellular organisms (first to branch off the evolutionary tree from the common ancestor of all animals) that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them. Sponges’ s structure consists of two thin layers of cells and mesohyl layer between them. They don’ t have real tissues or organ systems such as nervous, digestive or circulatory systems. Constant water flow through their openings and pores obtain food and oxygen and remove wastes.
