Cnidocytes are the specific cells present in all cnidarians.Name of phylum Cnidaria is derived from the word cnidocyts which are stinging cells.These cells are most important cells for these animals because they are related with offence , defence and feeding.A cnidocyte consists of a capsule with a coiled filament barbs , a cnidocil , and a lid. It is discharged when cnidocil is touched.These cells are of 30 different types also used for attachment etc.

What is one type of cell all cnidarians have?

Cnidarians all have stinging cells called nematocysts with which to catch their prey.

What is one way that cnidarians and mollusks differ?

Mollusks are defined as Bivalves. They are called Bivalves because they have two shells. Cnidarians such as Jelly Fish do not have shells which define a bivalve (mollusks).

What do all jellyfish possess to be classified as jellyfish?

Two things- stingers and a bell shape. Cnidarians belong to an invertebrate phylum that includes jellyfish, as well as hydras, sea anemones, and corals. The one common trait of all cnidarians is having stinging cells (cnidocytes) that can either protect them, aid in predation, or both. To specifically be a jellyfish, though, they must also have an adult medusa stage where they are free-swimming and have an umbrella shape.


What are cnidaria characteristics?

The characteristics of cnidarians are that they have claws, hard exoskeleton, and reproduce sexually. ------- That answer is just silly. The phylum, cnidaria, includes hydras, jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals. Cnidarians are defined by the fact that they possess cnidocytes (cells that can either attach or sting) which are often used to grab and immobilize prey, as well as for defense and in rare cases, for locomotion. Cnidarians are diblastic (two layers of cells), with a secreted layer between the inner and outer layer of cells, called the mesoglea. They possess a single gastrovacscular cavity that serves to respirate, disgest, and discharge waste. Commonly, tentacles surround the gastrovascular opening. Cnidarians are predominately radially or bi-radially symmetric. The two common forms of cnidarians are a polyp form (attached, vase-shaped), and a medusa (bell shaped, free swimming) form. Some cnidarians are exclusively sessile (attached to a substrate), exclusively free swimming, or include both forms during their life cycle.


How do you insert sum functions into each of the selected cells with a single action?

Select all of the cells. Type in the SUM function into one of the cells. Then press Ctrl-Enter rather than just Enter. It will put a SUM function into all of the cells. This works for anything you type into a cell, when you have others selected.


What are the stinging cells of cnidarians?

They are called nematocytes. They are one of at least three types of cnidocytes, the very definition of the phylum. Nematocytes sting, the other two types of cnidocytes either adhere, or gum up their prey, substrate, or that guy that wears a helmet and does super glue commercials.


What two functions do nematocysts perform?

Nematocysts are the stinging cells on tentacles of a cnidarian, like a jellyfish. Since jellyfish don't have any teeth, and their body consists of gelatin, it's hard to capture prey. Nematocysts help jellyfish with feeding by stinging the prey in an attempt at trying to immobilizing the prey.

What is the easier way to type one thing into different cell in excel?

You could type it into one cell and copy it, but there is a better way. First select all the cells you want to put the same value into. Then type your value and press and hold the Ctrl key and then press enter. The value will go into all selected cells.
