Answer 2

Animals obtain their nutrients through a broad variety of feeding patterns. Sponges, for example, feed on small particles of food that enter their pores. Other aquatic organisms, such as sea cucumbers, wave their tentacles about and trap food on their sticky surfaces. Mollusks, such as clams and oysters, feed by filtering materials through a layer of mucus in their gills. Certain arthropods feed exclusively on fluids.
