Sponges are characterized by:

(b) Choanocytes cells

  • Choanocytes cells are also known as "collar cells". They are along the interior line of syconoid, asconoid and leuconoid body type sponges.
  • Due to their unique structure, it becomes possible to carry out several functions within sponges.
  • Choanocytes cells perform the primary function of assisting circulation.

Sponges are characterized by  choanocytes cells.

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Choanocytes are cells, which line the interior body of the sponges.

Choanocytes are of three types.

  • They are found dotting the surface of the spongocoel in asconoid sponges.
  • The form radial canals in syconoid sponges.
  • They comprise entirely the chambers in leuconoid sponges.

Choanocytes generate a flow of water through the sponge's pores, into the spongocoel and out through the osculum.

This improves both respiratory and digestive functions for the sponge.
