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
