Stinging cells are called cnidocytes, as in all members of the Cnidarians which includes jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals.
The stinging cells in a jellyfish are located in it's tentacles.
No, most cnidarians have stinging cells, not sponges.
The process of replacing stinging cells in animals, such as jellyfish or sea anemones, can vary depending on the species and the individual animal's health. In general, it can take a few days to several weeks for these animals to replenish their stinging cells after they have been used and discarded. However, some species have continuous regeneration, allowing them to replace their stinging cells more rapidly.
Stinging cells are cells that "sting" and pour toxins into the bloodstream, and tentacles are long appendages that have no relation whatsoever to stinging cells.
Jellyfish sting their prey using nematocysts, also called cnidocysts, stinging structures located in specialized cells called cnidocytes.
Usually stinging cells belong to the phylum Cnidaria
stinging cells live in the water attached to the floor of the wall and can not be moved or stinging cells like jellyfish can sometimes be seen floating around typically in da deep blue sea or spotted in shallow waters like the beach(salt water), or in fresh water.
Ctenophores are gelatinous creatures with rows of cilia for movement and lack stinging cells, while cnidarians have stinging cells called cnidocytes. Ctenophores also have a simpler body structure compared to the more complex body plans of cnidarians, which include jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones.
They belong to the phylum Cnidaria, named after the stinging cells that species in the phylum use to catch prey.
Stinging Cells
Cnidarians are jellyfish, sea anemones, sea pens, hydras (cnidarian="nettle" in latin, so they have stinging cells). They eat aquatic animals, from protozoa to fish.
