Question
How are sponges like plants and how are they different?
Hi Bernard
I have been thinking about this question a lot and outside of the fact that both are living organisms I cannot thing of many way that sponges and plants are alike. Both are cellular and carry out metabolic processes but that is about it.
As to differences: They have different structure, tissues and function
