Jellyfish
Found in every ocean, jellyfish are not technically "fish." Jellies have an umbrella like structure that allows them to float beautifully in the water. Watch out though, some of them sting!
1,930 Questions
jellyfish do hunt. They try to catch small prey around them, but sometimes find that dead or alive will fall into their tentacles. :)
Is a jellyfish a living thing?
Yes, it is a cnidarian, and is therefore an invertebrate animal. It just doesn't have the characteristics of a normal human like eyes and a nose.
YEAH!
What kingdom are cnidarians in?
All cnidarians belong to the taxonomic domain of Eukarya, which are characterised by having cells with nuclei. Eukarya covers all organisms in the Kingdom Animalia, as well as the Kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Protista.
Can box jellyfish be found off the coast of Georgia?
probably, but for the real answer you would have to find out somewhere on the internet.
How do crystal jellyfish reproduce?
Crystals reproduce by alternating between asexual benthic polyps and seasonal planktonic medusae.
The juveniles are budded off large hydroid colonies in early spring, say the researchers, and quickly become free swimming. They grow very quickly and then began producing gametes for sexual reproduction.
The eggs are free-spawned and quickly settle out to make a new colony. They thrive on the hard rocky substrates (bottom). The cue that makes them continue with a new generation is most likely a change in water temperature, which shocks the colonies into strobulation.
They are amazing!!
Can you cook and eat a jellyfish?
Ocean sunfish and leatherback turtles can eat jellyfish, but surprisingly don't get hurt by the stinging tentacles!
Other species of jellyfish are among the most common and important jellyfish predators, some of which specialize in jellies. Other predators include tuna, shark, swordfish, sea turtles, and at least one species of Pacific salmon. Also humans.
Does the jellyfish belong to the arthropoda group?
Yes jellyfish are qualified to be invertebrates.
Yes they are all invertebrates they don't even have brains and they are 95% water.The jelly fish do not have bones, if that is what you're asking. So no they don't have a vertebra. That makes them invertebrates.
What invertebrate group does the jellyfish belong to?
Kingdom - Animalia.
Phylum - Cnidaria.
Subphylum - Medusozoa.
Class - Scyphozoa.
Order - Anthomedusae.
Suborder - Filifera.
These are only rough and I don't know the Family, Genus or Species yet but this is enough. No? (May not be 100% Correct!)
What size is a blue bottle jellyfish?
Their tentacles are not that long, reaching to lengths of 5 ft. But they are very poisonous.
What is the kingdom for a jellyfish?
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Cnidaria
Class: Cubozoa, Hydrozoa, Polypodiozoa, Scyphozoa, Staurozoa
There are at least 12 orders.
There are over 200 species of Scyphozoa, about 50 species of Staurozoa, about 20 species of Cubozoa, and in Hydrozoa there are about 1000-1500 species that produce medusae (and many more hydrozoa species that do not).
Stinging cells are activated only if the jellyfish touch and recognize some specific organic compounds; in this way, they don't sting themselves, other jellyfishes of the same species (and probably some similar ones), while can recognize and sting some other cnidarians; however, is possible that the nervous system, in some cases, can choose, independently from the specific stinging cell receptions, to sting or not.
How long are portuguese-man-war tentacles?
Man of wars have tentacles ranging from 4 ft to over 30 ft long!
How many teeth do jelly fish have?
The female bees (queen and workers) have one sting each; male bees (drones) don't have a sting.
What are some adaptations that help a jellyfish survive?
They sting the prey with their tentacles. Also known as Stinger's.
its tentacles
Structure of a cnidarian which contains stinging cells?
Cnidarians have simple structure; a blind ended gut, tentacles, a pharynx and several other minor organs, and gonads.
One of these:

How do jellyfish feed and digest?
Most jellyfishes are passive drifters that feed on living or dead preys: small fish, eggs, zooplankton and other invertebrates that become caught in their tentacles. Preys are brought (by tentacles, if they have any) into the cavity, called coelenteron, where it is digested.
Jellyfishes have cells called cnidocytes, which contain nematocysts, and located usually on their tentacles, mainly. Whenever a prey comes in contact with cnidocytes, hundreds to thousands of nematocysts' filaments are ejected into the prey's direction. These stinging cells are thus able to latch onto the prey, and the tentacles, or the oral arms (manubrium) bring the prey item into their mouth for digestion.
Is a moon jellyfish ectothermic or endothermic?
no. endothermic means it is warm blooded. only mammals and birds are warm blooded. jellyfish are cold blooded
Answer:
Endothermic is one of the three methods animals have of maintaining their body temperature. All of these used to be lumped together as being "warmblooded" and was thought to be the trait of mammals and birds alone. Recent studies indicate that many existing creatures other than mammals can exhibit part of the warm blooded trait (tuna, swordfish) and some extinct non-mammals (dinosaurs) were also warm blooded. The three temperature regulating methods are: # Endothermy: control tof body temperatures through internal means (muscle shivering, fat/sugar burning) # Homeothermy: maintaining a stable internal body temperature regardless of external itemperatures. # Tachymetabolism:maintaining a high resting metabolism
Jellyfish exhibit none of the ways of being "warm blooded" including being Endothermic.
Which ocean zone does a moon jellyfish live in?
Most jellyfish live in north and south america
Cretth 2010
They have a high powered sting that sends a jolt of energy into our nervous system and causes a lot of damage to our sensitive body don't get your nervous and respirator , digestive and circulatory mixed up because they all have a different job then just all being the same
What animal category are jellyfish in?
Fish, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals are all vetebrates. Jellyfish are not vertebrates and do not belong to any of the above categories. Instead, jellyfish are invertebrates belonging to the phylum Cnidaria.
