Sponge

The nature and environment in the poem “Carnivorous Sponges of the Antarctic Ocean” by Sarah Lindsay make a statement about the errors of society and the remedies. This is not the first time Ms. Lindsay has used her Bachelor’s of Art in English and Creative Writing to utilize the metaphors of animals in her poem to tell an idea. In her poems “Tell the bees” and “The Thai Elephant Orchestra” Sarah did the same. Sarah Lindsay use Carnivorous sponges to define what the meaning of life is. Sarah Lindsay creatively uses the nature of the carnivorous sponges community to show the audience a flaw in society and the remedy to this disease and the symptoms. Before diving into the metaphor that Sarah Lindsay creates, we have to understand her literal…

Question 1 The industry in which sponges, pads and other cleaning equipment are labeled under is Cleaning and Maintenance Supplies. This industry is relatively volatile with limited growth and industry operation, yet the market for sponges specifically has the highest profit potential and technological advancements within the industry. Rivalry- Competition is low in this industry, since a single company, 3M has monopolized the cleaning sponges’ market with a market share of 74%, and the second…

Discussions/Conclusions: Out of all the factors, the sponge and the leaves had the most effect on climate in the model atmosphere. They had a range of 25 degrees Celsius from the base reading at 0 minutes, to the final reading at 20 minutes. The sponge started out at 19 degrees Celsius and ended at 44 degrees Celsius. The leaves started also started at 19 degrees Celsius and also finished at 22 degrees Celsius. The control experiment with no variables added had a range of 9 degrees Celsius from…

In the project “How much water can different shapes of sponges hold?” there are many different components. Sponge are a key opponent cleaning, and absorption of water. Absorption is another important thing, absorption is necessary to absorb up water. Size and surface area are key points to see the outermost layer of things and measure many piece. These are the major components of the project “How much water can different shapes of sponges hold?”. Sponges are a tool for cleaning, and holding…

Just like pores on human skin which absorb elements of the world around us, the holes all over the sponge’s body as essentially pores as well. The function of the holes all over the sponge’s body is to allow water to be absorbed into the sponge’s body. Through the absorption of water, the sponge also absorbs food and oxygen to ensure survival. There is no one set type of symmetry for sponges. Therefore, not all sponges have the same type of symmetry. Sponges can range from asymmetrical to…

the ocean each year(4). Majority of the oil pollution oil comes from ashore from waste disposal, land drainage and improper disposal of used motor oil(4). In recent times it has been discovered that a possible solution for oil pollution is the “Oleo Sponge”(as seen in figure 1(11)), an oleophilic and hydrophobic sponge that collects oil and rejects water housing up to ninety times its own weight than to be squeezed out and reused like a dish sponge(3). Could this be the answer to addressing oil…

One of these styles is the sponge method. In the sponge method, a person absorbs information to gain knowledge. The knowledge people gain in the sponge method stands as a foundation for more complicated thoughts. The sponge method is very useful for grasping basic concepts that someone would want to later develop. Although the sponge method seems like a great tool it’s not the perfect thinking style. The other thinking style is the panning for gold method. In the panning for gold method a person…

Picture a sponge. A common household item that is very simple yet useful. Now compare that sponge to the human brain. It’s porousness allows outside substances to seep in and be collected. The sponge grows and holds more than expected of it. Much like the sponge, our brain can absorb and retain valuable resources. Without the brain, humans would not be able to function. The brain, a highly complex part of the human anatomy, is in charge of one’s intelligence, the senses, producer of all body…

This is the Yellow Tube Sponge, also known as the Aplysina aerophoba. The animal’s name is very self explanatory. This animal, who is commonly mistaken for a plant, has a rough outer, tube-like shell. It is yellow, hence the name. Also, it is hollowed out, with one tube coming out from the top, and it is capable of growing to 3 feet tall. The Aplysina aerophoba in its natural habitat. Habitat The Yellow Tube Sponge lives underwater, near the northern zone of the Atlantic ocean. It is found…

Giant Barrel Sponges are very unique animals. They are found in tropical areas in the Caribbean. They are benthic animals, living at depths from 10-30 m. They have the highest density cover and greatest volume of any organism living in their environment. If they are left undisturbed they can grow to massive sizes. Giant Barrel Sponges can come in many different colors also. Sponges don't move around they are stationary and stay in one place there whole life. Except when the sponges reproduce…
