The green pigment in hydra organisms, called "hydra-chlorophyll," is not produced by the hydra itself but is obtained from the algae that live symbiotically within its cells. This pigment allows for photosynthesis to occur within the hydra and provides energy for the organism.
Small buds called basal discs are released from the base of a hydra to detach and move to another area. Basal discs allow hydra to reproduce asexually and establish new colonies in advantageous locations.
The prefix "hydra" means water or liquid. It is derived from the Greek word "hydor" which means water.
Hydra is a eukaryotic organism. It is a member of the animal kingdom and its cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus.
Some examples of organisms that reproduce by budding include Hydra, some species of fungi, and some types of bacteria such as Prochloron.
As the name suggests,hydra refers to water and hence hydration means absorption of water and fluid absorption means absorption of any liquid or gas. lol
In a hydra, the two processes most directly involved in the transport of materials are diffusion and the movement of water through the gastrovascular cavity. Diffusion allows for the movement of nutrients and gases between the cells and the surrounding water. Additionally, the gastrovascular cavity facilitates the circulation of fluids, helping to distribute these materials throughout the organism. Together, these processes ensure effective nutrient uptake and waste removal in the hydra's simple body structure.
The digestive enzymes in Hydra are produced in their cells, specifically in the gastrodermis, which lines the inner cavity of the body column. These enzymes help break down food particles that are ingested by Hydra for absorption and nutrient acquisition.
the new bud simply detaches from the parent body
Hydra or Hydra
The gastrodermis in hydra serves primarily in digestion and nutrient absorption. It lines the gastrovascular cavity, where it secretes digestive enzymes to break down food particles. The gastrodermis also facilitates the distribution of nutrients throughout the hydra's body, supporting its metabolic processes. Additionally, it plays a role in the organism's overall homeostasis and can assist in waste removal.
The origin of the name comes from the genus hydra an animal with radial symmetry and the ability to regenerate limbs similar to the greek monster that you're referring to. It regenerates cells at a remarkable pace to maintain survival like how it never dies from father time just like the Genus Hydra not the Marvel terrorist organization. That name came from Lernaen Hydra.
No they use osmosis to absorb digested nutrients and flagella to move food and particles around within it
Hydra is an animal. Animals never have chloroplasts
hydra
In hydra -_-
A hydra does not have cephalization.
