Ctenophores, also known as comb jellies, are uniquely characterized by their eight rows of cilia, which they use for locomotion. These cilia, arranged like combs, create a shimmering effect as they propel the animal through the water. Additionally, many ctenophores possess specialized cells called colloblasts that capture prey, making them distinct from other gelatinous marine animals. Their ability to bioluminesce is another fascinating feature that sets them apart in the marine ecosystem.

How do ctenophores differ from cnidarians?
Ctenophores are gelatinous creatures with rows of cilia for movement and lack stinging cells, while cnidarians have stinging cells called cnidocytes. Ctenophores also have a simpler body structure compared to the more complex body plans of cnidarians, which include jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones.

What are three characteristics of ctenophores?
Ctenophores, also known as comb jellies, are characterized by their gelatinous bodies, which are often transparent and can exhibit bioluminescence. They possess eight rows of cilia, called comb plates, which they use for propulsion through the water. Additionally, ctenophores have specialized cells called colloblasts that help them capture prey, primarily small fish and zooplankton.
What is the name for the comb jellyfish?
Ctenophores (comb jellies) are a separate phylum from Cnidaria.
What are some economic importance of Ctenophores?
One of the common names for Ctenophores are coral, coral provide a good ecosystem for fish, some of the polyps on the coral reef are very good at photosynthesis causing plant and fish life to blossom.
How ctenophores are different from coelentrates?
Ctenophores, also known as comb jellies, differ from coelenterates (now commonly referred to as cnidarians, which include jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones) primarily in their body structure and locomotion. Ctenophores possess eight rows of ciliary plates, or "comb rows," that they use for movement, while cnidarians typically exhibit a bell-shaped body and use a tentacle-based system for capturing prey. Additionally, ctenophores are characterized by their lack of stinging cells (nematocysts), which are a hallmark of cnidarians. Overall, these differences highlight distinct evolutionary lineages and adaptations within these two groups of marine organisms.
What are pleurobancia?
Pleurobanchia* A genus of ctenophores having an ovate body and two long plumose tentacles.
How do ctenophores move?
Ctenophores are characterized by 8 ciliated rows used for locomotion. These cilia are stacked to look like a comb or "ctene". Therefore their name means comb bearer. They beat these ciliated rows in the water to propel themselves. However, they are subject to tides and winds.
