There possed to be a cryptid that fly in the air they could exist I think they do
Actually they are a recently discovered electrical phenomena known as red sprites.
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, comb jellies are consumers because they primarily feed on other organisms, such as plankton and small invertebrates, in order to obtain nutrients and energy for survival.
Do jellyfish use mitosis or meiosis?
Asked by Wiki User
Jellyfish primarily use meiosis for reproduction. During meiosis, the jellyfish's cells divide to create sex cells that have half the number of chromosomes, allowing for genetic diversity in offspring. Mitosis, on the other hand, is the process of cell division for growth and repair.
What is the anatomy of a jellyfish?
Asked by Wiki User
A jellyfish is composed of a gelatinous umbrella-shaped body called a bell and trailing tentacles. They have a simple nerve net rather than a central nervous system and lack a brain or specialized organs for respiration or circulation. They have a mouth located on the underside of the bell for consuming food.
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, some jellyfish are bioluminescent, meaning they can produce light themselves. This bioluminescence often makes them glow in the dark, creating a beautiful display underwater.
What causes Wallenberg syndrome?
Asked by GaleEncyofNeuroDis
Wallenberg syndrome, also known as lateral medullary syndrome, is caused by a blockage of the blood supply to the lateral part of the medulla in the brainstem. This blockage typically occurs from a blood clot or other vascular issue, leading to symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, vertigo, and facial numbness or weakness on one side of the face.
What causes Gerstmann syndrome?
Asked by Wiki User
Gerstmann syndrome is typically caused by damage to the parietal lobe of the brain, most commonly due to a stroke or brain injury. This damage can result in difficulties with tasks such as writing, math, and distinguishing left from right.
Asked by Wiki User
The shape you are describing is known as a bell shape or umbrella shape, which is commonly seen in organisms like jellyfish and certain types of sea anemones.
What causes Raynaud's syndrome?
Asked by Wiki User
Raynaud's syndrome is caused by a narrowing of blood vessels in response to cold temperatures or stress, leading to reduced blood flow to certain body parts, usually fingers and toes. This can result in color changes in the skin and sensation changes in affected areas. The exact cause of Raynaud's syndrome is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
What is different about the jellyfish in Jellyfish Lake?
Asked by Wiki User
The jellyfish in Jellyfish Lake, located in Palau, have evolved without natural predators due to the lake's isolation from the ocean. As a result, these jellyfish have lost their ability to sting, making them harmless to humans. They also have developed a unique symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae, providing them with nutrients through photosynthesis.
Why are most victims unaware of the presence of jellyfish?
Asked by Wiki User
Jellyfish can be transparent and difficult to see in the water, making them hard to detect. They also move silently and may not cause immediate pain upon contact, leading to victims being unaware of their presence until they are stung. Additionally, some jellyfish species have a mild sting that may go unnoticed at first.
Is it possible to put jellyfish DNA in a human and have the human glow?
Asked by AngryTeen
No, it is not possible to put jellyfish DNA into a human and have the human glow. The glowing property in jellyfish comes from a protein called green fluorescent protein (GFP), which would not work the same way in a human body due to differences in biology and genetic makeup.
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, blue bottles are a type of jellyfish. They are also known as Portuguese man o' war and have long tentacles that can deliver a painful sting.
What is the function of a cnidocyte cell?
Asked by Wiki User
Cnidocytes are specialized cells found in cnidarians (such as jellyfish and sea anemones) that contain stinging organelles called nematocysts. The function of a cnidocyte cell is to capture prey or defend against predators by discharging venom-filled nematocysts in response to touch or chemical stimuli.
What is the advantage of the medusa over the attached polyp in the Cnidarian?
Asked by Wiki User
The advantage of a medusa body form over the attached polyp form in Cnidarians is increased mobility. Medusas are free-swimming and can move through the water, allowing them to spread and find food more easily. This mobility also facilitates reproduction as medusas can disperse gametes over a wider area.
Identify the organisms that exist as either medusa or polyp form?
Asked by Wiki User
Jellyfish exist as either a medusa (adult free-floating) or polyp (immature attached) form during their life cycle. Another example is the Portuguese Man o' War, which also has a medusa (floating) and polyp (attached) stage.
Asked by Wiki User
The value of jellyfish can vary depending on the species, size, and demand. Some jellyfish are considered a delicacy in certain cuisines and can be sold for high prices in seafood markets. Others, like moon jellyfish, are often used as aquarium pets and can range in price from $10 to $100.
Is a free swimming form of a cnidarian called a polyp?
Asked by Wiki User
No, a free swimming form of a cnidarian is called a medusa. Polyps are typically attached to a substrate and have a cylindrical body with a mouth surrounded by tentacles at one end. Medusae have a bell-shaped body with tentacles hanging down.
What are special traits stinging cells?
Asked by Wiki User
Stinging cells, also known as cnidocytes, are unique to cnidarians. They contain a specialized structure called a nematocyst that can inject toxins into prey or predators. This enables cnidarians to defend themselves, capture prey, and deter predators.
What are some special traits of stinging cells?
Asked by Wiki User
Stinging cells contain a specialized organelle called a cnidocyte that releases toxins when triggered. These toxins can immobilize or kill prey, and in some cases, deter predators. The cells are found in organisms like jellyfish and hydra, and are important for defense and capturing food.
What causes the itchy feeling when one swims in waters infested with jellyfish?
Asked by Wiki User
Jellyfish release venom through their tentacles when they sting, which triggers an immune response in our skin. This immune response causes the surrounding area to become inflamed, leading to itching and skin irritation. Additionally, some jellyfish venom contains histamine, which can further exacerbate itching.
Is a nettle sting an acid or a alkali?
Asked by Wiki User
A nettle sting is acidic in nature. When a nettle plant comes into contact with skin, it releases formic acid, which causes the stinging sensation.
