Which of the following is a unique characteristic
Which of the following is a unique characteristic of sponges (Phylum porifera)?
निम्नलिखित में से कौन स्पंज (फाइलम पोरिफेरा) की एक अनूठी विशेषता है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Water canal system and choanocytes / जल नलिका प्रणाली और कौआनोसाइट्स
🟢 Explanation
Sponges belong to Phylum Porifera, and their most unique feature is the presence of a water canal system along with specialized cells called choanocytes (collar cells).
-
The water canal system allows water to flow through the body.
-
Choanocytes help in capturing food particles and maintaining water circulation.
-
This system enables respiration, nutrition, and removal of wastes.
These features are exclusive to sponges and distinguish them from other animal groups.
🟢 व्याख्या
स्पंज फाइलम पोरिफेरा (Porifera) के अंतर्गत आते हैं, और इनकी सबसे विशेष पहचान जल नलिका प्रणाली (Water Canal System) तथा कौआनोसाइट्स (Choanocytes / कॉलर कोशिकाएँ) की उपस्थिति है।
-
जल नलिका प्रणाली शरीर में पानी का प्रवाह कराती है।
-
कौआनोसाइट्स भोजन कणों को पकड़ने और जल प्रवाह बनाए रखने में सहायता करती हैं।
-
इसी प्रणाली से श्वसन, पोषण और अपशिष्ट निष्कासन होता है।
यह विशेषता केवल स्पंज में पाई जाती है, इसलिए इसे इनकी अनूठी पहचान माना जाता है।
⭐ Extra Facts / अतिरिक्त तथ्य
🔹 Sponges are mostly aquatic and sessile (fixed at one place).
🔹 Their body has many tiny pores called ostia.
🔹 They show cellular level of organization (no true tissues or organs).
🔹 Skeleton may be made of spicules or spongin fibers.
