Nowadays, when you, buy a sponge" in a : store, the chances are you. are getting something made of .synthetic material that is constructed to work like a natural sponge. The reason for this is that natural sponges are quite expensive. What is a natural sponge? At one time, it was believed that sponges were plants. But in 1825, a British scientist watched a sponge in water through a microscope. He saw streams of water enter certain openings and come out through others. So he concluded that sponges were animals. Ttfday we know , that the natural sponges we use at home are skeletons of ma the dried-orine, animals that belong to a ut Today In History Today Is Sunday.

V A. group called. Porifera. Even though a sponge is a very low form of animal life, its structure is quite complicated. The outer layer of. living tissue surrounding it is made of flat, scalelike cells. The cells lining the. canals are unlike those , found far any other animal Each cell is column- shaped and has a long "lasher". It is the. lasher ' mat keeps the water - moving .through the pores 'of the sponge. The water that enters the sponge brines it oxveen and miuions or liny organisms for food. The water that goes out contains waste products. 'In order to live, therefore, .water must be able to enter the sponge and reach every part of its body. So a sponge has millions oi uny pores to let the water hv and an intricate system of canals inside its body. That's why we can use the skeleton of a sponge the way we do. It absorbs water because it is constructed! to let water in, and the system of canals, inside keeps the water there until we squeeze it out! By the way, the sponges we see are not single animals, but colonies of many individuals. A single sponge forms buds, and each bud is a new sponge. But they soon become all knit together and it is hard to tell each individual sponge apart Even a sponge that isi only about 3 inches in diameter may actually consist of a dozen or more individual sponges!
