A sponge actually feeds by

squeezing the spongocoel cavity and sucking debris in and out through the osculum.
the beating of the flagella of collar cells, forming a current; food is absorbed by collar cells.
the beating collar cells form a current from osculum to pores; the food is engulfed by amoebocytes in the central cavity of the sponge.

6. (1)
Both corals and calcareous sponges have calcium carbonate structures. What is the relationship between these two groups?
The calcareous sponges were ancestors of the corals.
The corals were ancestors of the calcareous sponges.
Both use the calcium carbonate to form a rock-like or crusty basal skeletal structure.
The corals are actually colonial forms of the independent calcareous sponges.
The sponges use calcium carbonate to form sharp spicules while the corals independently use the same material to form a skeleton.
