Sponges reproduce both sexually and asexually several sponge species live in a freshwater pond an accident releases a toxin into the pond. The toxin reduces the ability of the sponge cells to repair and grow. Why is sexual reproduction an advantage for the sponges in this pond?

The advantages of asexual reproduction include: the population can increase rapidly when the conditions are favourable. it is more time and energy efficient as you don't need a mate. it is faster than sexual reproduction.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.

i think its 5049.

i hope this !
