Where are collar cells located and what are two functions of these specialized cells?
Choanocyte (collar cells) are any of the flagellated cells located in the body cavity of a sponge. They surround the base of the flagellum. The function of these cells is to maintain the flow of water through the body of the sponge.

What type of sponge canal system is best suited for larger sponges because it allows for the best flagellated cells to volume ratio?
no
What type of sponge canal system allows the best flagellated cells to volume ratio?
The leucon type can feed the most cells, then the sycon type, then the simplest ascon type. ^^
The collar cells of sponges are similar to?
flagellated protists
What is the function of sponocoel?
A spongocoel is the cavity inside a sponge, such as Grantia, that is lined with flagellated cells and stores the food (tiny particles and bacteria) the sponge receives from filter-feeding. Inside the spongocoel, food particles are trapped on a layer of mucilaginous material and transported into the sponge's cells for digestion.
How do water molds and downy mildews reproduce?
flagellated reproductive cells
What kinds of tissues does sea sponge have?
The body of a sponge is a collection of a few different types of cells loosely arranged in a gelatinous matrix called a 'mesohyl', mesoglea or mesenchyme. This mesohyl is the connective tissue of a sponge body and it is supported by the skeletal elements. The skeletal elements of sponges are variable and important in taxonomy. Throughout this body run canals through which water flows, there is considerable variation in the complexity of these canals. The canals have openings to the outside which are called pores, where the water enters the sponge system these pores are usually small and are called 'ostia' and where the water leaves the sponge system the pores are larger, often singular and are called 'oscula' (singular osculum). Many if not most of these canals are lined with special flagellated cells called 'choanocytes'. These choanocytes keep the water flowing through the canals in the correct direction by beating their flagellum, they are also important in trapping food items.
What is a sessile feeder?
(sponges) animals with no tissue and with no definite body plan; they are sessile (they dont move), and they are filter-feeders; they contain choanocytes, which are flagellated cells that serve to keep water moving in through pores in teh sides of the body and out through a large opening at the top; other cells called amoebocytes secrete supporting structures which help hold the sponge upright, these structures can be hard, sharp, crystal-like structures called "spicules" Animals(sponges) with no tissue. They are sessil (they dont move), and are filter feeders. They house choanocytes, which are flagellated cells that keep water moving through pores in ten sides of the body.
What are the cells called that move throughout the sponge body wall to deliver food to the organism's cells?
Amebocytes
Can individual sponge cells live independently?
Yes; if you were to place a sponge in the blender the individual sponge cells are capable of living independently.
