Phylum Porifera: Sponges

[@MRptwrench]

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.

This came in clutch, I literally have a test on sponges in like 10 minutes Edit: To all yall concerned, I aced it lmao

Can you please make a video of all phylums together and how can we remember them all with their characteristics etc.

[@GuardianSoulkeeper]

Dunno if this fully answers your question but you might find Aron Ra's Phylogeny Explorer project useful.

I'm glad you are going to do Cnidaria. It's one of my favorite phyla, particularly siphonophores like the Portuguese man o' war.

[@GreenScrapBot]

Now I'm trying to figure out, how much of Spongebob Squarepants' lore correlates with this.

[@imcarlabee]

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?

[@naturegirl1999]

I’m guessing it could eventually develop cancer and die from that, I’m not a sponge scientist, I’m just guessing

[@blenderbanana]

Ryan Helcoski is an excellent science-writer. Thank You for sharing his work, Professor Dave.

[@jessicazaytsoff1494]

Prosser Dave. Please continue explaining things. I don't always understand it fully(I have a humanities degree. Don't hold it against me) but you always explain it in a way I can understand enough to do more learning!

[@Slechy_Lesh]

I'm also more of a humanities guy but this is great!

[@S1nwar]

previously you taught flatearthers that vacuum doesnt suck, now you explain that water flowing into a cavity doesnt count as sucking, we really came a long way

I used to follow this guy Ben Davidson a few years ago and than Ben introduced me to Dave here and I realized I was following the wrong guy. Ben acted like a child when Dave challenged him and basically through a temper tantrum instead of presenting clear and concise arguments.

Hey Dave can you please explain how the COVID vaccines work and Wich ones are the best...I haven't gotten one yet because I feel I am not educated enough on them and am having a hard time with it.... thanks for anything you can do.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Please watch my anti-vaxx debunk from last year. Just search "prof dave vaccines".

[@zray2937]

What is the difference between budding and fragmentation?

[@GuardianSoulkeeper]

Fragmentation occurs when a part of the sponge is cut/broken off by external forces. Budding occurs as a natural process within the sponge's life cycle.

[@DJFracus]

Growing a new part vs breaking off a part that already exists.

[@niqabkhan4020]

Hey I got a Video Idea if you haven’t done it yet It’s a Bit controversial but you have a way of dealing with things to be polite about it One of the bigger Arguments with the attack on 9/11 is that Jet Fuel Can’t Melt Steel Beams... I know that isn’t true in the slightest but I can’t explain it to others without messing up could you do a video on it maybe?

[@MouldMadeMind]

If it couldn't the cia wouldn't have used it, 9/11 consperiacies can be debunked that way.
