Sponges Need Water at Casey Petrus blog

Sponges Need Water. Glass sponges make up a class of sea sponges that inhabit many ocean regions at depths of 450 to 900 meters. Warming waters are killing microbes that are vital to sea sponges. Sponges can control the water flow by various combinations of wholly or partially closing the osculum and ostia (the intake pores) and. Anchored to the seafloor, these sponges draw sustenance from plankton and other organic debris. The latest study, now available in isme communications, indicates that as sea temperatures increase, tropical sea sponges could lose essential microbes, possibly causing tissue decay. Because the food particles are sparsely distributed, the sponges need a way of filtering them from seawater. All corals require saltwater to survive. Water enters through the ostia, flows into a central cavity called the spongocoel, and then exits through an opening called the osculum. Sponges possess a unique water circulation system. While most sponges are found in the ocean, numerous species are also found in fresh. Squeezing the sponge compresses the channels and the extra pressure helps to force the water out more quickly. Sponges are very simple creatures with no tissues. This flow of water helps the sponge filter out food particles. The flexible skeleton of these sponges (or the plastic equivalent in a synthetic sponge) holds water because the complex labyrinth of dead ends and narrow channels slows the water as it tries to drain away.
