Choanoflagellatea

  • A member of the Opisthokonta
  • "Choano" refers to a collar surrounding the flagella
  • Not considered an animalia as there are no specialization mechanisms (technically unicellular, even if colonial)
  • Food piles up at the bottom of the collar due to the movement of the choanoflagellate in the water
