How do jellyfish get oxygen out of their environment for respiration?
Its because their skin is so thin on the body and tenticles that the oxygen flows through their body and goes through to its vital organs, carbon dioxide is removed the same way. They breathe with their entire bodies.
How do polyp and medusae in coelenterates alternate with each other?
Polyp is a asexual form which has a cylindrical body just like hydra whereas the medusa form is sexual form and has an umbrella shape. In case of Aurelia, the adult is sexual form. Males and females are separate and after copulation the female releases eggs which develop into a hydra like structure called ephyra larva which is called polyp form. This larva by budding produces umbrella shaped medusa forms. Thus the asexual polyp form alters with the sexual medusa form. This alternation of generations is called metagenesis.
What is Pandora's food chain?
Navis, thanators, and leonopteryxs are on the top of the food web. Leonopteryx eat medusae, banshees ( Mountain and Forest ). Stingbats eat hexapedes but are eaten by Forest Banshees themselves. Tetrapterons and Stingbats possibly eat hellfire wasps while hellfire wasp sip on nectar with the Direhorse. Ikrans are eaten by Leonopteryxs. Sturmbeests are eaten by Leonopteryxs, viperwolves, and thanators. Tetrapterons eat fish and insects Slingers are carnivorous but it is unknown what they eat. Its unknown what eat fan lizards and direhorses. Hexapedes, Prolemuris, and Tapirus can be eaten by any predator of Pandora. Viperwolves can be devoured by thanators, banshees ( Mountain ), and Great Leonopteryxs Hammerheads are eaten by leonopteryxs and thanators. Dinicthoids eat sturmbeest calfs.
What is the relationship between a stationary polyp and free swimming medusa?
Some cnidarians have a life cyce wih an alternation of generations between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction; while asexual reproduction provides a large increasing of (identical) individuals, sexual reproduction mantain a genetic pool variety.The generation supposed to reproduce asexually is polypoid; the generation supposed to reproduce sexually is medusoid.Tipically, medusae produce male and female gametes, which fuse together making zygotes; a zygote becames an egg from which hatches a free swimming larva called planula; the planula reaches the sea floor and developes into a polyp; the polyp then becames a strobila (segmented polyp), wich reproduces asexually by strobilation, segmenting itself and producing many ephyras, which can be released one at a time or all together at the same time; each ephyra maturates into an adult medusa, reaching the reproductive maturity.
When was Tillandsia caput-medusae created?

Why are medusae considered plankton?
The polyps may be found attached to docks or floats, while the medusae live in the plankton.

No but crystal jellyfish do. Crystals reproduce by alternating between asexual benthic polyps and seasonal planktonic medusae.

There are over 200 species of Scyphozoa, about 50 species of Staurozoa, about 20 species of Cubozoa, and in Hydrozoa there are about 1000-1500 species that produce medusae (and many more hydrozoa species that do not).
