Cnidarians are members of the phylum?
Cnidarians are members of the phylum Cnidaria. They are a diverse group of animals that includes jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones. Cnidarians are characterized by their radial symmetry, specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes, and a basic body plan with a central mouth surrounded by tentacles.
What is the phylum of the bell or umbrella shaped bodies animals?
The phylum of bell or umbrella-shaped animals is Cnidaria. These animals have radial symmetry and specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes, which they use for capturing prey and defense. Examples of animals in this phylum include jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones.
What phylum do sea anemone belong to?

What characteristic do all member of Eukarya have that members of eubacteria do not have?

Which phylum does the coral belong?
The Phylum Cnidaria includes bluebottle jellyfish, anemones, corals and other jellyfish (except comb jellies). There are several Classes: Hydrozoa (Anemones, Corals), Scyphozoa (Jellyfish) and Cubozoa (box jellies). Cnidarians have two distinct body forms: polyps and medusae. Polyps have a tubular body attached to the substrate, or to each other in a colony (e.g. coral). Medusae are free swimming (e.g. adult jellyfish). The most important feature of Cnidarians is their stinging cells (nematocysts). These are in the tentacles and the body wall. Each stinging cell contains a coiled thread that, when pressure is applied, is ejected from the cell. These stinging cells can be used for defense or to capture prey. Some stinging cell threads have barbed ends and are connected to poison sacs, making them particularly nasty! hope that helps

What is a common feature of phylum cnidaria?
stinging cells
What is a science term for jellyfish?
jellyfish belong to the phylum cnidaria. members of this phylum are called cnidarians (the "c" is silent when pronounced). other members of this phylum are corals, sea anemone, and hydras. they all have the common characterisitic of tentacles with stinging cells (nematocysts).
Which phylum to which the sea aneomone belongs?
They belong to the phylum Cnidaria, named after the stinging cells that species in the phylum use to catch prey.
Cnidarians are members of the phylum?
Cnidarians are members of the phylum Cnidaria. They are a diverse group of animals that includes jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones.

Which Stinging cells are a characteristic of members of this phylum.?
the scientific phylum name is Cnidaria. this includes animals such as jellyfish, anemone, and coral. Some are medusa shaped (jellyfish) or polyp shaped (upside down jellyfish) All of them have nematocysts which is a scientific name for stinging cells. These invertebrates evolved from sponges. New characteristics include movement (sponges move but only at the larval stage) and tissues for the movement (muscle and nerve tissue). They also evolved from asymmetrical symmetry (sorry - redundant) to radial symmetry.
What are the characteristic features of members of phylum sarcodina?
Sarcodina refers to a phylum in the kingdom Protozoa. The members of this group are all single and multi celled amoebas
Do jellyfish and coral belong to the same phylum?

Why might stinging tentacles be advantageous for slow moving predators such as some cnidarians?
All Cnidarians have tentacles with stinging cells in their tips which are used to capture and subdue prey. In fact, the phylum name "Cnidarian" literally means "stinging creature." The stinging cells are called cnidocytes and contain a structure called a nematocyst.
A stinging cell in the hydra?
Stinging cells are called cnidocytes, as in all members of the Cnidarians which includes jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals.
What is stinging cells on a tentacle?
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.
Do jellyfish and coral belong to the same phylum cnidaria?
Coral and Jellyfish are classified together because share characteristic such as radically symmetrical, simple net nervous system, distinct larva stage. The classification is the phylum Cnidaria.
