Hydra, a small freshwater organism, primarily feeds through a process called "capturing and ingesting." It uses specialized cells called cnidocytes, which contain stinging structures called nematocysts, to paralyze prey such as small aquatic animals. Once the prey is immobilized, the hydra extends its tentacles to bring the food to its mouth, where it is ingested. The food then enters the gastrovascular cavity, where digestion occurs, allowing nutrients to be absorbed.

The single opening of hydra and the pseudopod of the amoeba are both involved in the process of?
Both the single opening of a hydra and the pseudopod of an amoeba are involved in the process of feeding. The hydra uses its single opening to capture and ingest prey, while the amoeba extends its pseudopod to engulf food particles through phagocytosis.
How does a hydra remove waste or undigested food?
Hydra expels waste and undigested food through its mouth, which serves a dual purpose as both the entry point for food and the exit for waste. After capturing prey, the hydra digests it in its gastrovascular cavity, and any indigestible remnants are pushed back out through the same opening. This simple process is efficient for their small, tubular body structure.
How are oxygen and food circulated in hydra?
Diffusion
How does a hydra remove undigested food?
A hydra removes undigested food the same ways it takes in food. A hydra takes in it's food through it's tentacles, so it removes food the same way because it's like a pipe stuck in the ground and there is only one way in and one way out.
Does hydra captures its food with the help of pseudopodia?
No it is not true
What do hydra and volvox have in common?
They are both producers of food
What is the differences between a human digestive process and a hydra?

What is the origin of the green pigment in hydra organisms?
The green pigment in hydra organisms, called "hydra-chlorophyll," is not produced by the hydra itself but is obtained from the algae that live symbiotically within its cells. This pigment allows for photosynthesis to occur within the hydra and provides energy for the organism.
What does hydra feed on?
Since Hydra is part of the group of cnidarians, it is a bit more complicated than a sponge. The way that hydra digest their food is through extracellular digestion. This means that hydra actually have a special gut cavity that traps and digests food instead of having a bunch of cells do it, like a sponge. This gut cavity only has one opening and during digestion, enzymes from the cell wall are released to aid in breaking down the food. Once digested, the food is engulfed by cells from the wall into tiny particles through a process called Phagocytosis.
What food did the mythical creature Hydra eat?
it eat the people and the p
Adding one drop of dilute hydrochloric acid to the water surrounding a hydra caused the hydra to contrac thow did the acid act?
The acid likely disrupted the hydra's osmoregulation process by changing the pH of the water, leading to an influx of water into the hydra's cells. This change in water balance triggered a contraction response in the hydra.
Does a hydra undergo budding?
Step 1, A budd, looking like a bump will appear onto the adult hydra. Step 3, Tectancles that look like long strains will help the new to be hydra get food. Step 4, the new hydra will depart from adult hydra and will start it's journey by it's self. I am sorry I do not know step 2. Step 1, A budd, looking like a bump will appear onto the adult hydra.
