Cnidarians move in several different ways. Those with bells use jet propulsion, flexing their muscles in the bell shape of the body. Others float with the current or use their bases to move.
Stinging cells on a tentacle are specialized cells called cnidocytes that contain nematocysts. When triggered by contact with prey or a predator, these cells release harpoon-like structures that inject venom, helping the tentacle to defend itself or capture prey.
Stinging cells in a hydra, known as cnidocytes, contain harpoon-like structures that can inject venom into prey. When prey brushes against these cells, the stinging mechanism is triggered, paralyzing or killing the prey. This allows the hydra to easily capture and consume its food.
Organisms such as jellyfish, anemones, and some species of coral have tentacles with stinging cells called cnidocytes. These stinging cells are used for defense, predation, and capturing prey by injecting venom into their targets.
I think it's called cnidarians
The stinging cells of cnidarians, called cnidocytes, are usually located on specialized structures called tentacles. These tentacles are used by cnidarians for defense, capturing prey, and delivering venom.
They have very limited locomotion.
Any of various invertebrate animals of the phylum Cnidaria, characterized by a radially symmetrical body with a saclike internal cavity, and including the jellyfishes, hydras, sea anemones, and corals, are called cniderians.There are about 9000 species of cniderians and they are mostly marine aquatic invertebrates. They possess specialized stinging cells known as cnidocytes which are borne on their tentacles. Cniderians range in size from microscopic to more than 100 feet (30 m). Cniderians occur in polyp and medusa forms.
The stinging cells in a jellyfish are located in it's tentacles.
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.
Usually stinging cells belong to the phylum Cnidaria
Stinging Cells
No, sponges do not have stinging cells like those found in cnidarians (e.g., jellyfish and sea anemones). Sponges are filter feeders that rely on water flow to capture food particles, rather than using stinging cells for prey capture.
The stinging cells in the hydra is what helps it paralyze its prey. Once it uses its stinging cells to paralyze it, the hydra then uses its tentacles to push into itsslef considering that its only one cell layer thin.
no
Yes.
Stinging Cells
The stinging cells in a hydra are located in the tentacles, which are cylindrical, tube-like structures surrounding the mouth of the organism. These stinging cells, called cnidocytes, contain nematocysts that can inject toxins into prey or threats.
