What type of body plan to sponges have?
- A.
Asymmetrical
- B.
Bilateral
- C.
Radial
Correct Answer
A. AsymmetricalExplanation
Sponges have an asymmetrical body plan, meaning they do not have a definite shape or symmetry. Unlike bilateral animals that have a distinct right and left side, or radial animals that have a circular arrangement of body parts, sponges lack any organized body structure. Their body consists of a porous network of cells that allows water to flow through, enabling them to filter feed and obtain nutrients. This lack of symmetry is a unique characteristic of sponges.Rate this question:

Sponges reproduce how?
- A.
Sexually and asexually
- B.
Just by budding
- C.
Just sexually
Correct Answer
A. Sexually and asexuallyExplanation
Sponges are capable of reproducing both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction in sponges occurs through a process called budding, where a new sponge grows out from the parent sponge. This new sponge is genetically identical to the parent. On the other hand, sexual reproduction in sponges involves the fusion of gametes from two different individuals, resulting in the formation of genetically diverse offspring. This allows for genetic variation and adaptation within the sponge population.Rate this question:

Sponges exchange gas through?
- A.
Diffusion
- B.
Breathing
- C.
Spicules
Correct Answer
A. DiffusionExplanation
Sponges exchange gas through diffusion. Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In sponges, oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged with the surrounding water through diffusion. The sponge's body is porous, allowing water to flow through it, and the exchange of gases occurs across the thin walls of the sponge's cells. This allows the sponge to obtain oxygen for respiration and release carbon dioxide as waste.Rate this question:

Digestion for bivalves:
- A.
2 way (filter feeders)
- B.
1 way (filter feeders)
Correct Answer
A. 2 way (filter feeders)Explanation
Bivalves have a two-way digestive system because they are filter feeders. This means that they filter water through their gills and extract food particles from it. The water enters through the incurrent siphon and passes over the gills, where the bivalve traps and filters out small organisms and organic matter. The food particles are then transported to the mouth and digested in the stomach. Waste is eliminated through the excurrent siphon. This two-way digestive system allows bivalves to efficiently extract nutrients from the water and filter out any unwanted particles.Rate this question:
