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).

What is the purpose of chloroplasts?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. They are only found in plant cells and some protists. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Every green plant you see is working to convert the energy of the sun into sugars. Plants are the basis of all life on Earth. They create sugars, and the byproduct of that process is the oxygen that we breathe. That process happens in the chloroplast. Mitochondria work in the opposite direction and break down the sugars and nutrients that the cell receives.

3. Does your skate park playground ramp design support the law of conservation of energy? Use
nlexa [21]

Skate park is a good example that maintains the law of conservation as skater neither creates nor destroys energy.

Explanation:

As per the law of energy conservation, energy cannot be created nor can be destroyed but it’s form can definitely be changed. This theory can be well justified by the example of skate park playground. According to the rules of this law a skater can never go high more than 2 meters on the ramp’s other side because it has that gravitational energy potential.  

With every drop of the skater on the ramp the potential energy of the skater changes into kinetic energy. This two sides of the law justifies the fact that skate playground should be designed in such a way that it supports the law of conservation of energy.
