Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 6RQ
Most sponge body plans are slight variations on a simple tube-within-a-tube design. Which of the following is a key limitation of sponge body plans?
- Sponges lack the specialized cell types needed to produce more complex body plans
- The reliance on osmosis/diffusion requires a design that maximizes the surface area to volume ratio of the sponge
- Choanocytes must be protected from the hostile exterior environment
- Spongin cannot support heavy bodies.
