Pneumatocysts are filled with carbon dioxide. Kelp use this adaptation to float toward the water's surface. The higher it floats, the more sunlight it could get for photosynthesis.

How does the kelp use its structure to survive?

Kelp has a unique structure that allows it to thrive in marine environments. Its long, flexible blades can sway with ocean currents, reducing the risk of damage from strong waves. The gas-filled bladders, or pneumatocysts, help keep the kelp buoyant, allowing it to reach sunlight for photosynthesis. Additionally, its root-like holdfast anchors it to the ocean floor, providing stability and access to nutrients.

What is the cnidarians string cells?

They are called pneumatocysts. They are the stinging cells used for killing prey, as all cnidarians are predators. They are cells that contain poison, and have little barbs on them to inject the poison with. With some cnidarians, the little barbs are all that you feel because their poison is only strong enough to kill plankton. With other cnidarians, however, the poison in the pneumatocysts is strong and can be deadly. The main purpose of the pneumatocysts is to kill prey, but they are also useful against predators.

No, a kelp is not a consumer to a kelp bass. Kelp is a primary producer, as it performs photosynthesis to create energy, while a kelp bass is a consumer that feeds on smaller organisms, including fish and invertebrates.
