Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Most of all poriferans/ sponges are suspension or filter feeders. Suspension feeders are organisms that each food materials which are suspended in their environment ie sea water, while filter feeders filter their food source from water by drawing water containing bacteria and organic matter in through their ostia(pores). Substrate feeders at organism that live in or on their food source.
Members of the poriferans do hava an ectoderm (epidermis) and an endoderm including a non-cellular late that is present in between the two layers.
No, they do not belong to the phylum cnidaria but porifera. Cnidarians including hydra, sex anemones, jellyfish etc and these have features that different from that of the sponges e.g the presence of nematocysts in cnidarians
Sponges can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Sexually by releasing larva fertilized in the sponge into water where they float around for some days and then proceed to adhere to a solid surface and begin their growth into adults. Asexually by budding
They are multicellular, lack tissues, are animals, lack organs and are asymmetrical. These are th distinguish features of poriferans
