Phylum Porifera Sponges The First Animals
Sponges are animals and belong to the Animal Kingdom. Characteristics: • 1. Multicellular • 2. No organs or body systems • 3 . Cellular digestion – no mouth, no stomach, no anus (heterotrophic) • 4. Asymmetry
Sponges are SESSILE – they do not move They obtain food by FILTER FEEDING
They reproduce sexually (with sperm and eggs) in the water (external fertilization) They can also reproduce asexually (regeneration)
Collar Cells – flagellated cells in the sponge that move water, food, and nutrients and take away waste.
Sponges have no nervous system – they cannot respond to environment and cannot feel. • Shape of Life Video - Origins (Sponges) http://shapeoflife.org/video/phyla/sponges-origins or http://vimeo.com/37032195
