Sponges<span> are </span>animals<span> of the </span>phylum Porifera<span> (</span><span>/<span>pɒˈrɪfərə</span>/</span><span>; meaning "pore bearer"). They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like </span>mesohyl<span> sandwiched between two thin layers of</span>cells<span>. Sponges have unspecialized cells that can </span>transform into other types<span> and that often migrate between the main cell layers and the mesohyl in the process. Sponges do not have </span>nervous<span>, </span>digestive<span> or </span>circulatory systems<span>. Instead, most rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and to remove wastes</span>

Sponges are similar to other animals in that they are multicellular, heterotrophic, lack cell walls and produce sperm cells. Unlike other animals, they lack true tissues and organs, and have no body symmetry. The shapes of their bodies are adapted for maximal efficiency of water flow through the central cavity, where it deposits nutrients, and leaves through a hole called the osculum. Many sponges have internal skeletons of spongin and/or spicules of calcium carbonate or silicon dioxide. All sponges are sessile aquatic animals. Although there are freshwater species, the great majority are marine (salt water) species, ranging from tidal zones to depths exceeding 8,800 m (5.5 mi).

When the sun and moon align opposite one another and earth between them and blocks the light of the sun to reach the moon known as a lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse can be a partial or total lunar eclipse.

A partial lunar eclipse occurs when a part of the earth covers the moon to get the light or between the sun and the moon. The total lunar eclipse occurs when the whole moon is opposite to the sun and earth between them.

What are three types of body shapes that can result from the structure of a skeleton?
Marizza181 [45]
The three different skeletal designs that give a body its shape are:
Hydrostatic skeleton-contraction of muscles occur for changing cooler, due to which movement is caused.
Exoskeleton-external skeleton composed of calcium carbonate and chitin
Endoskeleton-body's internal system made of hard mineralised components.
