What would happen if a cnidarian lost its stinging cells?
If a cnidarian lost its stinging cells, it would lose its primary defense mechanism against predators and its ability to capture prey. This would make the cnidarian more vulnerable to predation and reduce its efficiency in obtaining food.
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 does a springtail look like?
A flea is often what a springtail is compared to when speaking of physical appearance. The insects in question have chewing mouthparts for biting into ground-proximitous leaves of beets, chards, onions, and peas. They look like dark purple, tiny, wingless insects with tail-like appendages for hurtling through the air and yellow spots.
What bug has black-blue wings with a black body?
The black and blue hairy flower wasp (Scolia soror) and the great black wasp (Sphex pensylvanicus) are bugs that have black bodies and black-blue wings. The steel-blue aphid- and cricket-hunting wasp (Chlorion gerarium) gives black-and-blue impressions that cautiously closer inspection proves to be more black of wings and blue of body. The three insects will be found respectively in Australia (case 1) and North America (examples 2, 3).
What structure are the stinging cells of cnidarians located?
The stinging cells of cnidarians, called cnidocytes, are located on specialized structures called nematocysts. These nematocysts are found on the tentacles of cnidarians and are used for defense and capturing prey.
Examples of cnidarians include jellyfish, corals, sea anemones, and hydroids. Cnidarians are characterized by their radial symmetry and specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes that they use to capture prey.
Are all bugs considered insects?
Yes, taxonomically speaking, all bugs are considered insects even though no, practically speaking, they are not. A bug formally, puristically, technically speaking is supposed to be a member of the insect order Hemiptera. But in actual practice, its use will be found expanded to include the arachnid (mite, scorpion, spider, tick), insect, myriapod (centipede, millipede), terrestrial crab, and woodlouse representatives -- but not aquatic crustaceans or horseshoe crabs -- of the invertebrate phylum Arthropoda of jointed appendage- and segmented body-bearers.
What is the scientific name for a sea pig?
The scientific name for a sea pig is Scotoplanes. Sea pigs are deep-sea sea cucumbers found in various ocean basins around the world. They are known for their unique appearance and feeding habits.
No, they're carnivores, & they eat nothing but blood their whole lives. Hope this helps.=Dominique, an 11-year old girl=
What animal does not have a tongue?
These are mostly animals with a very different digestion than other animals. They are mostly more simple organisms like snails, worms, a lot of sea-creatures etc.
Crocodiles.
No. Yabbies are omnivourous scavengers. They are opportunistic feeders and eat whatever they can find be it dead or alive. Insect larvae/fish other smaller crustacea, rotting plants, fruits etc can all be eaten by Yabbies.
An invertebrate that has joined limbs and a segmented body?
Worm of some kind. There are ringworms, roundworms and flatworms, though I think you're looking for a ringworm as those are mostly visible with the naked eye.
Macro-invertebrates are animals that are big enough to see with the naked eye, and that do not have a backbone.
A diatom shape is usually round or triangular. They could also be a thin oval shape.
As well, the potentially practical shapes they Form may only be classified as Infinite.
