Jellyfish

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

no its a jelly fish.

a nettle sting is acid but a doc leaf is alkali which is why it neutralises it

yes they are related

Hydra belongs to the order Hydrozoa, which is a class of small, predatory animals that primarily live in saltwater environments. They are known for their simple body structure and regenerative abilities.

Nope, jellyfishes are carnivorous in nature.

No, a jellyfish is not a blastopore. A blastopore is the opening of the central cavity of an embryo during early development, while a jellyfish is a gelatinous marine animal belonging to the phylum Cnidaria.

Jellyfish fossils have been found in sedimentary rock formations around the world, generally in areas where ancient seas once existed. The soft-bodied nature of jellyfish makes their preservation as fossils rare, but in some cases, the impressions left by their bodies in sediment have been preserved and fossilized over millions of years. Scientists use careful excavation techniques to uncover and study these fossils to learn more about the evolution and history of jellyfish.

Yes, jellyfish are members of the cnidarian class. They are gelatinous marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and tentacles that possess specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes, which they use for capturing prey and defense.

This hydrozoan is likely a "Portuguese Man o' War" (Physalia physalis). It consists of gas-filled float, feeding polyps, reproductive polyps, and defensive polyps. Each polyp performs a specific function that contributes to the overall survival of the colony.

The mouth of a cnidarian, such as a jellyfish or sea anemone, opens into a central body cavity called the gastrovascular cavity. This cavity serves both digestive and circulatory functions, as it allows nutrients to be absorbed and distributed throughout the organism's body.

Yes, jellyfish can be found off the coast of Florida. They are commonly seen in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Be cautious when swimming in these areas, as some jellyfish species can deliver painful stings.

The color of a jellyfish is not a reliable indicator of its level of danger. Some red jellyfish species, like the sea nettle, can deliver painful stings but are not usually life-threatening. It's important to be cautious around all jellyfish in the ocean and to educate oneself on the specific risks associated with different species.

Hermit crabs fight by using their claws to pinch and grab each other. They may also use their shell as protection and shelter during fights. The goal of the fight is often to establish dominance or access to resources such as food or mates.

Capsaicin is the chemical that makes hot peppers hot. Most animals (specifically, mammals; birds appear to be unaffected by it) don't like it much because of the burning sensation it produces.

No, sponges do not have stinging cells like those found in cnidarians (e.g., jellyfish and sea anemones). Sponges are filter feeders that rely on water flow to capture food particles, rather than using stinging cells for prey capture.

its soft body is unlikely to be preserved in the fossilization process, which typically requires rapid burial and the gradual replacement of organic material with minerals. This means that the chances of a worm being preserved as a fossil are low compared to harder-bodied organisms.
