Cnidarians capture plankton with their tentacles, which retract and bring the food towards their mouths. Shorter ribbon-like oral arms then help move the prey into their stomach cavity (called a coelenteron), where a layer of cells produce strong digestive enzymes that breaks down the unfortunate captive within a dozen or so minutes. This same layer of stomach cells (the endodermis) absorbs and diffuses the nutrients to the rest of the jellyfish. Undigested waste is expelled through the same opening that it entered, making it both a mouth and an anus.
