Choanocyte or collar cells is a unique type of porifers which contains a flagellum surrounded at its base by a thin cytoplasmic collar. This cell creates current and ingest food particles from water.

Where is collar cell found?
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.
What are the cells of a sponge that capture food particles called?
chyna,chris brown,eminem,akshe kumar,jhon,salman khan,ranbir,loyd banks,sharuk khan
Do sponges have specialized cells?
it has no muscles thats how it can function
What are chloroplasts responsible for?
It is responsible for Photosynthesis.
What is the responsible of a student?
yes student responsible
What is the function of choanocytes in reproduction 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.
Are choanocytes significant to a fundamental process for sponges?
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.
What cell type in sponges is responsible for producing the water current through the sponge?
choanocytes are resonsible for current flow and trapping food particles in sponges source: my invertebrate zoology textbook :)
What name is given to the food-trapping cells of sponges?
Choanocytes

What is an ascon?
An ascon is a cavity, in the form of a bag or tube, lined with choanocytes, which forms the structure of sponges.
What are the specialized cells that use flagella to move a steady current of water through a sponge?
Choanocytes
Do sponges have specialized cells?
it has no muscles thats how it can function
Do sponges or cnidarians have a gastovascular cavity?
No, they are from the Phylum Porifera.
How does a sponge move water through its body?
The sponge uses the choanocytes to move a steady current through its body.
What adaptations does a sponge have for obtaining food?
Sponges are filter feeders and use choanocytes to create a current for food particles to pass through its body.
