Answer:

Choanocytes

Explanation:

Choanocytes are membranous flagellate cells lining the spongiocelium (central body cavity of <em>Porifera</em> kingdom animals) and other internal vibrating chambers of sponges.

The movement of its <u>flagella</u> creates the water stream that brings nutrients and gases. The nutrients are filtered by the choanocyte, which is not a solid structure, but rather a set of small erect rods separated by spaces.

Any organic particle or plant microorganism trapped in the choanocyte is routed down toward the cell body and endocyted, with intracellular digestion occurring in digestive vacuoles.

These phosphorylation events can affect the protein in two important ways.

Nutrients in the deep ocean come from dead marine organisms. <br>True<br>False​
Viktor [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The deep parts of an ocean receive minimal or no sunlight. Hence, the survival of phototropic organisms like plants and algae is impossible or minimal here. Hence, there is a very little diversity in deep oceans. The organisms living here have to feed on dead decaying matter or on each other for survival. Mostly, the organisms living here use dead organisms as food. No other food source is available here.
