Wonderful Sponges Video oTemperature difference @ 300 feet Water became darker & cooler oNO competition oDon’t need as much sunlight oCan grow very large because there is no competition & no need for sun o1 cubic centimeter of sponge can filter 20 L of water (nutrients) per day oEat by filtering “marine snow” ….. Waste and other tiny nutrients oGrow long because they stretch out into the current to try to filter the nutrients

3 main sponge structuressketch each one on your notesAsconoids (ascon)
-Simplest of the sponges- 4 inches or 10 cm-look like a slender sack or tube
Syconoids (sycon)-Slightly larger, thicker, and more complex-Holes make rows on a smooth surface-Shaped like tubes. -Sponge wall appears folded
Leuconoids (leucon)-Largest of all the sponges-In 5 minutes they filter their own weight in water-Very common body type-More than one osculum is often present

freshwater

Hexactinellida are special because …
• Their spicules have electronic “receivers” that respond extremely fast to stimuli – Effects are generated across the organism
• Their tissues are primarily comprised of a primitive liquid, or cytoplasm, known as syncitia
• While other sponges may alter their structure, hexactinellids are incapable of contracting and constricting their bodies

•Class Demospongiae
• Horn sponges / bath sponges• Largest class (90% of sponges)• Spicules are made of spongin,
silica or mixture of both • Many diverse orders, including
all large sponges • Includes all commercial species • Mostly marine• Leuconoid body form

•Class Sclerospongiae
• Coralline sponges• Internal skeleton of siliceous
spicules and spongin plus an outer encasement of calcium carbonate
• The layered skeletons look similar to reef corals – (hence the common name)
• All marine • Few modern species

Why is there question about the validity of Class Sclerospongiae?
The class Sclerospongiae has been subjected to change as new scientific innovations and theories have developed. Many scientists, including those who conferred with us, dispute over the controversial existence of the Sclerospongiae class. New research suggests that particular integral components of this class promote the fact that its members may be distributed among the classes of the Demospongiae and Calcarea.
