Phylum Porifera: Sponges

It's finally time to start diving into individual animal phyla! First up is Porifera. This includes all the sponges. These are funky looking organisms, almost none of which exhibit any kind of symmetry, nor do they possess any tissues or organs. What are they all about? How to they feed? How do they reproduce? Let's learn all about sponges now!

    How important is this channel where this young man pumps out educational gold such as in this video? For someone like myself, where the last time I was a student participating in my education was my high school days in 1984 (not counting military & vocational training classes), it is life enhancing! Pause the judgement of that appraisal as being over-the-top and melodramatic for a second, because Prof. Dave and a few other channels like his have allowed me to better understand this Earth that I've walked on, swam in, and flew over for 55+ years. That helps me to communicate with my fellow Earthlings when the conversation turns to important and divisive issues such as climate change, evolution, or the current pandemic. Most importantly, it gives me hope that I will be able to understand my granddaughter's homework. She'll enter kindergarten this September.

    When we say that some sponges can live 100-1000 years, does that mean that they die of old age? If so, how similar is that ageing process with the ageing that occurs in more complex animals? What does an, "old sponge" look like?
