Question

which cell type engulfs or phagocytizes larger food particles? a. choanocytes b. pinacocytes c. mesenchyme cells

Explanation:

Choanocytes are specialized cells in sponges that create water currents and capture food particles, but they are not the main phagocytic cells for large - sized food. Pinacocytes are flat cells that form the outer layer of sponges and have limited phagocytic ability for large particles. Mesenchyme cells in sponges are more capable of engulfing or phagocytizing larger food particles as they are more mobile and have phagocytic functions.

Answer:

C. mesenchyme cells
