What animal have these cnidoblast?
Cnidarians (jellyfish)
What food goes down the wrong tube what is actually happening?
A cnidoblast is the harpoon like structure of a jellyfish and a nematocyst is the stinging cell
On what structure are the stinging cells of cnidarians located?
The entire cell is a cnidoblast and it contains a stinging 'barb' called a nematocyst.
How does a cnidoblast cell's structure help it?
These are stinging cells found in cnidarian and coelenterate. Each of them bears a stinging cell organelle called nematocyst which is used in offence, defence and attachment of animal.
What are five characteristics of a jellyfish?
nematocysts-stinging cells located inside the cnidoblast and is used for defense and feeding on prey.carnivores- passive drifters that eat dead or living preymade of 95% waterRadial symmetrynever stop growing!
What do jellyfish captur and kill there pray with?
They use their stinging tentacles to get food. The tentacles contain stinging cells called cnidoblasts and inside each cnidoblast there is a coiled thread with a barb at the end called a nematocyst. The nematocysts are discharged into prey such as a fish, they paralyze it and then the contracting tentacles bring the fish up to the mouth.
What is a stinging cell cnidarian called?
A cnidocyte, cnidoblast, or nematocyte is a type of venomous cell unique to the phylum Cnidaria (corals, sea anemones, hydrae, jellyfish, etc.). The cnidocyte cell provides a means for them to catch prey and defend themselves from predators. A cnidocyte fires a structure that contains the toxin, from a characteristic sub-cellular organelle called a cnidocyst (also known as a cnida or nematocyst). This is responsible for the stings delivered by jellyfish.
Words containing a silent c?
The SC pair forms an S sound in many words, and the CK pair is pronounced as a K. The pair CT is sometimes pronounced as T.SC wordsccience, scientist, abscess, acquiesce, scissors, rescind, scene. scent, muscle, ascent, descentCH wordsyachtCT wordsindictmentSome proper names have a silent C such as Tucson.
What word has silent c?
There are some rules to silent C: 1.) When the C is followed by an E, I or Y, then it'll become a soft C, which means the C will sound like an S. However, in the soft C case, if the S is followed by a C, then the C becomes silent. 2.) When the CQ are together, then the C becomes silent. 3.) If the N follows a C at the beginning of the word, then the C become silent. However, there are some exceptions to the silent C rule. Here are some examples of silent C: 1.) Scissor 2.) Science 3.) Ascend 4.) Descend 5.) Crescent 6.) Fascinated 7.) Scene 8.) Scenery 9.) Scenario 10.) Scent 11.) Acquire 12.) Acquit 13.) Acquaintance 14.) Muscle 15.) Cnidarian 16.) Discipline 17.) Conscious 18.)

What is in jellyfish sting?
some nasty stuff Depends on the jellyfish involved but they all use one of the three called cnidocyte,cnidoblast or nematocyte. This is a type of venomous cell unique to phylum cnidaria. ( Jellyfish,coral,sea anemones and hydrae) the toxin causes sodium and calcium ion transport abnormalities, disrupts cellular membranes, releases inflammatory mediators, and acts as a direct toxin on the myocardium, nervous tissue, hepatic tissue, and kidneys. Specifically, the toxin may contain catecholamines, vasoactive amines (eg, histamine, serotonin), kinins, collagenases, hyaluronidases, proteases, phospholipases, fibrinolysins, dermatoneurotoxins, cardiotoxins, neurotoxins, nephrotoxins, myotoxins, and antigenic proteins. In more simple terms. It's bad stuff and it hurts.
What is the function of the nematocysts in the cnidarians?
The stinging cell of a cnidarian contains a sac that houses a coiled up tube, immersed in venomous toxins. When triggered to fire by touch, chemical stimuli, and/or nerve excitation, a hinged lid opens, the tube rapidly shoots out of the sac by eversion (turning inside out), penetrates the skin of its victim, and introduces its venom along the entire length of the tubule. When large numbers of these stinging cells deliver a sufficient amount of venom, the prey (or predator) is paralyzed and can no longer cause damage to the fragile jellyfish. The entire evagination process only takes a millisecond or two. These stinging cells are some of the most sophisticated in the entire animal kingdom. They fire only once and then are re-adsorbed, to be eventually replaced by a brand new stinging cell. New nematocyte stinging cells (containing the nematocyst sac organelle) are created near the base of a tentacle from interstital stem cells. They migrate down the tentacle while developing the complex internal nematocyst structure, and eventually distribute themselves into a species specific pattern along the tentacle.
