If a jellyfish is touched in or on its bell, a typical response would be to swim away from whatever touched it. If a jellyfish's tentacle is touched, the touch will cause stinging cells to fire, and the jellyfish then typically responds by attempting to touch whatever touched its tentacle with more tentacles, thereby paralyzing or killing potential prey.

What structure allows a jellyfish and other cnidarians to respond to their environment?
Jellyfish and other cnidarians possess a simple nerve net structure that allows them to respond to their environment. This decentralized network of interconnected nerve cells enables them to detect stimuli such as light, touch, and chemicals. Additionally, specialized cells called cnidocytes contain stinging organelles that help with defense and capturing prey. Together, these structures facilitate basic movement and reaction to environmental changes.
Do jellyfish have eyes and how do they use them to navigate their surroundings?
Yes, jellyfish have eyes, but they are simple and do not have a complex structure like human eyes. Jellyfish use their eyes to detect light and shadows, helping them navigate their surroundings and respond to changes in light levels.
How do jellyfish respond to stimuli?
When a Stingray reacts to stimulus it discharges stinging cells. The stinging cells penetrate the skin and inject a poisonous venom.
Which creature has a radial symmetry?
Jellyfish typically have radial symmetry, with their body parts arranged around a central axis. This allows them to be able to respond in any direction to their environment.
