- sponge
2) How is it the same and different from animals today?
- The similarities are that the ancient sponge has a heart, have preys for it's food, and reproduces as well.
- The differences are that the cells of the sponge come together (resurrects), it has no mouth, brain, head, and the ancient sponge does not only pump for food but also pumps for sex life as well.
3) How do scientists know it's an animal?
- Because the ancient sponge has a heart, can reproduce, and captures prey for its food like how other animals do.
4) What evidence do scientists have to prove that other animals (multi-cellular) evolved from this organism?
- scientist have done research and testing and found out that the ancient sponge have DNA.
5) What more do you want to know?
- it's fascinating that the ancient sponge is a part of every living organism. This movie "The Shape of Life" made me very curious of this simple organism we call Sponge. I would like to learn more about this unique creature!
* The Shape of Life movie is an interesting one. I had no idea what organism would be the first multi-cellular animal to evolve. I've never thought it to be the ancient "Sponge", it being so plain and simple. I was guessing of an organism so complex... This movie is a great review in learning about the first multi-cellular animal to evolve. (I recommend this movie for academic purposes as well as for the fun of learning!~ Make Learning FUN!!!)

isn't it interesting to know that a sponge have a heart? i would never have guessed it myself. well i guess i learned something new.
Hi Hi! The movie was very interesting, even though I was a lil late LoL But it made me very curious to how every organism evolved from a sponge, when a sponge is very simple. Now we have more motivation to go out and do some research! :)
Hey lorna, i agree on your difference and similarities about the sponge and other animals because i think those are the main things that seperate the animals and also combine them as well. I also agrre with your statement about wanting to learn more about this creature. i find it very fascinating.
