The choanocytes move water through the sponge, similar to a digestive tract in higher order mammals. The choanocytes are the primary system for allowing nutrients to be absorbed by the sponge.
Those cells include a single flagellum that surrounded by a contractile collar of microvilli. The choanocytes are responsible for moving water through the sponge and for obtaining food.
choanocytes are resonsible for current flow and trapping food particles in sponges source: my invertebrate zoology textbook :)
As water passes through the sponge particles are trapped and engulfed by choanocytes that line the body cavity. as water moves through the sponges, oxygen is diffused into the cells and carbon dioxide and other wastes such as ammonia is diffused out of the cells see explanation for solution.
as water comes into the sponge through the ostium, the choanocytes will trap the bacteria and other zoo plankton with its collar. this food will slide down the collar of the chanced's since it is covered by a slimy substance. once the food reaches the membrane it is taken into the cell by phagocytosis. the choanocytes will then transfer the food through diffusion to the amoebocytes which will in turn distribute it to other cellls along the mesohyle
the skeletons can be used as sponges to wash dishes
Amoebas gace rise to sponges since the wall of sponges contain amoebocytes.
Choanocytes (also known as "collar cells"). Choanocytes are found dotting the surface of the spongocoel in asconoid sponges and the radial canals in syconoid sponges, but they comprise entirely the chambers in leuconoid sponges.
Choanocytes
Of the choices choanocytes, medusa, spicules, or gemmules, Medusa is the option that is not associated with sponges.
it has no muscles thats how it can function
No, they are from the Phylum Porifera.
An ascon is a cavity, in the form of a bag or tube, lined with choanocytes, which forms the structure of sponges.
Those cells include a single flagellum that surrounded by a contractile collar of microvilli. The choanocytes are responsible for moving water through the sponge and for obtaining food.
choanocyte cells are the cells lining the inner side of the sponges tiny bodies. It plays an important role in material transportation in and out of the sponges.

Sponges are filter feeders and use choanocytes to create a current for food particles to pass through its body.
sponges are hermaphrodites. Sperm and ova derived from archeocytes or choanocytes which undergo gametogenesis. Cross fertilization and internal fertilization is taken place.
Sponges process their food by fillter feed and fillter fecies...
