Explanation:

1. For the first question: Flat epidermal cells (pinacocytes) form the outer covering of sponges, acting as a protective "skin". Nutrient transport is done by archaeocytes, pores are formed by porocytes, and sponges lack a digestive system.
2. For Question 5: Sponges are aquatic filter feeders that use pores to draw in water and filter out microorganisms. They cannot live outside water, and they do not use spicules to catch large prey like crabs.
3. For Question 6: Choanocytes (collar cells) have flagella that create water currents to draw water through the sponge's small openings. Cnidocytes are stinging cells in cnidarians, archaeocytes are amoeboid cells for nutrient transport, and spicules are structural support structures, not cells.

Answer:

1. Line the outside of the sponge and form its skin
2. Question 5:

• Feed by filtering microorganisms using their pores

1. Question 6: Choanocytes
