it has no muscles thats how it can function
Choanocytes in sponges function in producing sperm and eggs, as well as in the development of embryos. They help to capture and process sperm in sponges that are hermaphroditic (contain both male and female reproductive organs) and assist in releasing the developing embryos for sexual reproduction.
Choanocytes
Of the choices choanocytes, medusa, spicules, or gemmules, Medusa is the option that is not associated with sponges.
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.
Yes, choanocytes are significant in sponges for feeding and the ingestion of food particles. They create water currents that bring in nutrients which are then captured by their collar cells for consumption. Choanocytes also play a role in reproduction by generating sperm cells.
Barrel sponges are filter feeders that capture plankton and organic particles from the water using specialized cells called choanocytes. These choanocytes have flagella that create water currents, bringing in food particles that are then absorbed by the sponge's cells for nutrition.
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.
Choanocytes are responsible for generating water currents and capturing food particles in sponges. They have a flagellum that creates the current and a collar of microvilli that trap and engulf food particles. Choanocytes play a crucial role in filter feeding and nutrient uptake for sponges.
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.
Collar cells, also known as choanocytes, are responsible for producing the water current through sponges. These specialized cells have flagella that generate the current, bringing in food and oxygen while expelling waste.
