Stinging Cells
Stinging Cells
Cnidarians use specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes for protection. These cells contain nematocysts, which can inject venom into potential threats or predators. When triggered, the nematocysts shoot out barbed threads that can immobilize prey or deter predators.
Yes, jellyfish are members of the cnidarian class. They are gelatinous marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and tentacles that possess specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes, which they use for capturing prey and defense.
Examples of cnidarians include jellyfish, corals, sea anemones, and hydroids. Cnidarians are characterized by their radial symmetry and specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes that they use to capture prey.
They use them to capture food.
Cnidarians use specialized cells called cnidocytes to catch food. These cells contain stinging organelles called nematocysts, which can inject toxins into prey upon contact. When triggered, the nematocysts can quickly entangle or immobilize small organisms, allowing the cnidarian to capture and consume them. This adaptation is crucial for their survival and feeding.
Adipocytes are also called fat cells. They are cells specialized to store energy in the form of triglycerides.
Choanocytes
In a multicellular cell each organelle has a specialized task
The use of endospore stain is to see specialized cell structures. It can tell if some bacterium cells contain higher resistant spores within vegetative cells.
Specialized cells make up specialized tissues. The tissues make up an organ, but organs use different tissues.
Specialized cells are adapted to perform specific functions efficiently, leading to optimal cell and tissue function in the body. This specialization allows for increased efficiency, enabling the body to perform complex tasks and reactions.
