Question

The three cell types found in sponges are
A)cnidocytes,mesenchyme cells,and nematocyst cells.
B)choanocytes,mesenchyme cells,and pinacocytes.
C)choanocytes,cnidocytes,and nematocyst cells.
D)nematocyst cells,mesenchyme cells,and pinacocytes.

Accepted Answer

The three cell types found in sponges are choanocytes, mesenchyme cells, and pinacocytes. Choanocytes are responsible for generating a water current and capturing food particles, mesenchyme cells are involved in digestion, and pinacocytes form the outer layer of the sponge. Cnidocytes and nematocyst cells are found in cnidarians such as jellyfish and sea anemones, and are not present in sponges.
