The function of a cnidocyte cell is to paralyze an animal's prey for consumption.
A cnidocyte, cnidoblast, or nematocyte is a type of venomous cell unique to the phylum Cnidaria (corals, sea anemones, hydrae, jellyfish, etc.). The cnidocyte cell provides a means for them to catch prey and defend themselves from predators. A cnidocyte fires a structure that contains the toxin, from a characteristic sub-cellular organelle called a cnidocyst (also known as a cnida or nematocyst). This is responsible for the stings delivered by jellyfish.
The trigger mechanism of the nematocyst organelle of the stinging cnidocyte cell consists of a sensory hair and a chemical receptor. When the sensory hair is mechanically stimulated, it activates the chemical receptor, leading to the discharge of the nematocyst's venomous contents.
a cell permorms its function very uniquely cell helps in division and cell cycle too!
The function is same as of eukaryotic cell i-e they make proteins for the cell
It is a cell organelle. It cannot function outside.
Cnidocyte.
A cnidocyte, cnidoblast, or nematocyte is a type of venomous cell unique to the phylum Cnidaria (corals, sea anemones, hydrae, jellyfish, etc.). The cnidocyte cell provides a means for them to catch prey and defend themselves from predators. A cnidocyte fires a structure that contains the toxin, from a characteristic sub-cellular organelle called a cnidocyst (also known as a cnida or nematocyst). This is responsible for the stings delivered by jellyfish.
Mechanical stimuli, such as contact with prey or obstacles, and chemical stimuli, such as molecules indicating the presence of food or predators, can trigger a stinging cnidocyte cell to fire its toxic harpoon-like structure.
The trigger mechanism of the nematocyst organelle of the stinging cnidocyte cell consists of a sensory hair and a chemical receptor. When the sensory hair is mechanically stimulated, it activates the chemical receptor, leading to the discharge of the nematocyst's venomous contents.
nematocyst
A cnidocyte is a specialized stinging cell found in cnidarians such as jellyfish and sea anemones. It contains a harpoon-like structure called a nematocyst, which is used for defense and capturing prey by injecting venom.
Nematocyte, cnidocyte or nematocyte is a venomous type of cell found in the unique phylum called Cnidaria (for example in the tentacles of a jelly fish). This cell provides a means for them to catch prey and to defend themselves from predators.

in a cell what is the function of the cell membrance
The function of the cell membrane is to control what enters and leaves the cell.
