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.

How does the introduction of invasive species such as the brown tree snake upset the stability of the legal system
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Invasive species compete for the same natural resources such as food and water which the native species also need for survival.

Explanation:

Invasive species upset the stability of the ecosystem because the prey in their new environment does not have the needed defense against them. They also upset the food chain, consume so much, and overpopulate in the new territory thus causing the extinction of the native species.

The introduction of brown tree snakes in Guam disrupted the ecological system as their population increased rapidly because their preys in this new environment lacked the ability to defend themselves against the brown tree snakes. For this reason, more than twelve native birds in the Guam Islands went into extinction. They also consumed the natural resources needed for the survival of the native species.
