Jellyfish sting their prey and inject a toxin in their body and drag them to their mouth with their tentacle things. They sting anything that they believe is a predator when too near too them. They have a nerve net that lets them feel a predators touch. Humans don't usually get injured harshly, most of the time it is just a burn.
What else can I help you with?
What is one type of cell all cnidarians have?
Cnidarians all have stinging cells called nematocysts with which to catch their prey.
Stinging cells in yhe tentacles or cndarians for capturing prey?
All Cnidarians have tentacles with stinging cells in their tips which are used to capture and subdue prey.
What is an adaptation of the squid?
octopus,squids,jellyfish,and coral have tentacles for capturing their prey
What structure are the stinging cells of cnidarians located?
The stinging cells of cnidarians, called cnidocytes, are located on specialized structures called nematocysts. These nematocysts are found on the tentacles of cnidarians and are used for defense and capturing prey.
Which two functions do nematocysts perform?
Nematocysts are specialized organelles found in the stinging cells of cnidarians. Their main functions are to inject toxins into prey or threats for defense and to aid in capturing and immobilizing prey using barbs or sticky threads.
On what structure are the stinging cells of cnidarians located?
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.
Cnidarians possess unique cells called cnidocytes that are important because?
Cnidocytes are specialized cells found in cnidarians that contain stinging organelles called nematocysts. These cells are important for prey capture, defense against predators, and competition for resources. When triggered, cnidocytes release the nematocysts, which inject toxins into the prey or predator, aiding in immobilization or deterrence.
What are the few organs that Cnidarians have?
Cnidarians have a simple body plan with a sac-like structure composed of three layers of cells: the epidermis, the gastrodermis, and the mesoglea. They possess specialized cells called cnidocytes that contain stinging structures called nematocysts, used for defense and capturing prey. Cnidarians also have a simple nerve net for coordinating movements and responses.
What are cnidarians used for?
are used to capture and subdue prey
What is a cnidarians prey?
Cnidarians (corals, jellyfish and anemones) eat a variety of animal prey, mostly zooplankton. Zooplankton can consist of small crustaceans, larval animals, and fish.
How do cnidarians eat?
Mainly through suspension feeding. Cnidarians use stinging tentacles (nomocytes) to capture their prey. Once the tentacles grab the food it is absorbed in the gastrovascular cavity (stomach) and taken in asnutrients.
If cnidarians lost their cyidocytes it would be?
it would make them less capable of capturing food
