Sponge cells, or choanocytes, are specialized cells that help in filter feeding by drawing water through the sponge's porous body. They capture food particles and facilitate gas exchange. Over time, as sponges evolve or respond to environmental changes, these cells may adapt or differentiate into other cell types, contributing to the sponge's overall growth and regeneration. In some cases, sponge cells can also undergo apoptosis or programmed cell death as part of their life cycle or in response to stress.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Where are the collar cells located in a sponge?
within the canals of the sponge :D
How does the sponge defend itself from prey?

Why are collar important for a sponge?
the collar cells hellp to classify the sponge as an animal to see if the sponge is a consumer or a producer. Therefore, the sponge is an animal so it is a consumer. hope i helped!!(:
What is the term for the gelatinous matrix in which all of the cells of a sponge are embedded?
The term for the gelatinous matrix in which all of the cells of a sponge are embedded is called mesohyl or mesoglea.
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.

How are nutrients dispersed to all of the cells of a sponge?
In sponges, water containing nutrients flows through numerous channels in their body. Specialized cells called choanocytes capture nutrients from the water and pass them onto other cells in the sponge's body for distribution. This allows for the efficient dispersal of nutrients to all cells in the sponge.
What is made out of cells is is cork sponge wood plastic or tree?
Cork, sponge, wood, and trees are all made out of cells. Plastic, on the other hand, is a synthetic material and is not made out of cells.
Where do you find the collar cells?
In a sponge under water.
The collar cells draw water through the sponge's many pores and into the internal cavity of the sponge by beating their?
flagella
