Lion's mane jellyfish

Reproductive Systems of the Compass Jellyfish, Axolotl, Horseshoe Crab, and The Compass Jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella) - The Compass Jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella) is a species of jellyfish that can be found in cold and temperate waters near the continental shelf regions of the Irish and North Seas, the Mediterranean, and coastal regions of South Africa (Doyle et. al.). The Compass Jellyfish belongs to the Genus Chrysaora and the species hysoscella. Compass jellyfish have a medusa type body that exhibits radial symmetry at the oral - aboral axis, with brown striations covering the body, thus giving it the appearance of ticks on a compass. They also have a flattened, saucer shaped bell that measures an average of 15.3 cm in diameter, and can weigh between 0.2 - 2.4 kg, as well as having a total of twenty-four tentacles on its aboral end that are used to capture prey (Hays et. al.). Currently the Compass Jellyfish is not on any endangered species…

Jellyfish is a free-swimming animal with a jellylike- bell or saucer shape body. Typically they are transparent and have stinging tentacles around the edge and considered as invertebrate species, meaning that they do not have backbones. The kingdom they are classified to is animalia(eukaryotic and multicellular organism) and belongs to phylum cnidaria, which is a taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class. Theoretically, members of Cnidaria have life cycles that alternate between asexual…

Biggest Jellyfish Species Introduction Jellyfish are also known as Jellies and are aquatic animals that swim freely with a soft gelatin umbrella-shaped body and sweeping tentacles. The tentacles can be used to capture prey or also for protection by emitting a painful sting. The bell part of the body can vibrate which helps the jellies in movement though they depend on ocean currents to move long distances. Jellyfish are classified under kingdom Animalia, phylum Cnidaria, subphylum medusozoa. The…

The Scorpion The Scorpion, being one of the most deadly animals in the US, is an animal that most people don’t like to think about. The Scorpion, at first look, can be terrifying or frightening for some people, others just think they are disgusting. What those people don’t see is the beauty inside the scorpion, instead they judge it by the outside. The meaning can be a little stern at times, but a scorpion isn’t always the sweetest animal. Sometimes you just have to dig a little deeper to see…

experiment is on jellyfish, I am looking into how different types of jellyfish feed. Jellyfish all around the world have mostly the same features but some have a venom that is powerful enough to kill a human in less than a minute. There are approximately thirty-seven species with this venom. However, there are many jellyfish that do not have this venom, these jellyfish have cells on their tentacles called nematocysts. They paralyze their prey by stinging them. Jellyfish usually feed on plankton…

As they approached the beach, they saw the purple flags and no swimming signs. They asked the lifeguard why the purple fag was up, and the lifeguard said one word, “jellyfish.” Jellyfish can paralyze and kill other small animals, and sometimes they kill humans. Most jellyfish are transparent and have very long tentacles. These are good qualities for a predator. However, now you can buy anti-jellyfish sunscreen. Many cultures cook and eat jellyfish, and we are using them in medical research.…

Once critical population density of the Aliivibrio fischeri population has been reached within the light organs of the squid, bioluminescence can occur. An enzyme called luciferase “uses molecular oxygen from the surrounding environment to oxidize both an aliphatic aldehyde and a reduced flavin mononucleotide” (Visick et al 2000, 4578). One of the products of this reaction is an intermediate that is very unstable, and this molecule is responsible for emitting a photon that is a blue-green color,…

have never discovered. There may even be dangerous predators that we have not discovered. But I am here to tell you about the Jellyfish. I will tell you some answers to questions that you might have. Ok are you ready? Let's get into the facts. What is a jellyfish? You might mistake a jellyfish for some type of jelly with a weird name. A lot of people know jellyfish for their appearance. A Lot of people know jellyfish for stinging people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzOXIEBnfwM (thats a…

The three forms of skeletons in the animal kingdom are: hydrostatic skeletons, exoskeletons, and endoskeletons. Hydrostatic skeletons are found in cnidarians, worms, and many mollusks. It consists of a fluid filled sac in which the fluid is good support, however, it is formless. Animals with hydrostatic skeletons have two sets of antagonistic muscles (muscles that work in opposition to each other). These muscles are longitudinal muscles and circular muscles, which both help the animal maintain…

Jellyfish are really fascinating sea creatures. This can be proven by many things like their life and many others. So the reason they are fascinating is because of where they live and what they eat, how they function without their brains and what they do throughout their lives, and there is a species of jellyfish that can basically live forever. The first reason why jellyfish are fascinating is where they live and what they eat. Jellyfish usually live in the ocean and sometimes they will live…
