What else can I help you with?
Extracellular digestion occurs in the gastrovascular cavity of the cnidarians when secrete chemicals to break down prey?
gland
What is the tissue that lines the gastrovascular cavity?
The tissue that lines the gastrovascular cavity in organisms like cnidarians is called gastrodermis. It is responsible for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food.
In cnidarians where does digestion occur?
Hmmm, Mrs Perry's class I see. It occurs in the gastrovascular cavity.
What do flukes have in common with the cnidarians when it comes to digestion?
Both flukes and cnidarians possess a gastrovascular cavity for digestion. This cavity serves the purpose of digestion and distribution of nutrients throughout the organism's body.
What are three function of a cnidarians' gastrovascular cavity?
1. digestion 2. circulation 3. physical support and movement
How is the digestive system of a cnidarian different from a human?
Cnidarians, such as jellyfish and sea anemones, have a simple digestive system with a single opening that serves as both mouth and anus, leading to a central gastrovascular cavity where digestion occurs. In contrast, humans possess a more complex digestive system with a separate mouth and anus, involving a long, tubular gastrointestinal tract that facilitates specialized processes for digestion and nutrient absorption. Additionally, cnidarians primarily rely on extracellular digestion in their gastrovascular cavity, while humans utilize both mechanical and chemical digestion throughout their digestive tract.
What is the space inside a cnidarians body termed?
gastrovascular cavity
What is the space inside a cnidarians body called?
gastrovascular cavity
What two digestive organs are in the middle of the anemone for cnidarians?
In cnidarians, such as sea anemones, the two digestive organs located in the middle of the body are the gastrovascular cavity and the mesenteries. The gastrovascular cavity serves as both the digestive and circulatory system, allowing for the distribution of nutrients throughout the organism. The mesenteries are thin tissues that extend from the body wall into the gastrovascular cavity, supporting the structure and increasing the surface area for digestion and absorption.
Where do cnidarians digest their food?
Hmmm, Mrs Perry's class I see. It occurs in the gastrovascular cavity.
What are three characteristics that all have in common?
All cnidarians live in water, have tentacles with specialized stinging cells called nematocysts, and have an internal sac for digestion which is called the gastrovascular cavity.
Do cnideria have a coelom?
Cnidarians do not have a true coelom (body cavity lined with mesoderm). Instead, they have a simple body plan with a central digestive cavity called the gastrovascular cavity. This cavity serves for both digestion and circulation of nutrients.
