Introduction: • Name and symmetry • Evolution and morphology • Digestive system and feeding • Movement • References
Phylum Ctenophora • “Name from comb-like rows of cilia” - Cilium. - Cilia. • 100 species; all marine
Evolution and Morphology. • Ctenophore live up in the water column. • Many solutions have evolved over the last 500 million years • Bell form : Interact with the fluid around them. • - Successfully movement. • - Capture food: determine feeding strategy, gut capacity and digestive times. • - Cvoid being eaten. • - Some bell shapes appear to limit the size that medusae can grow. .
Digestive system mouth • Digestive system with mouth and anus. • Feeding by discharging colloblasts(glue cells) from long tentacles. anus
Movement: Move by beating cilia on comb rows.
Comb jellyfish Chemical light production in Comb jellyfish, it oxidized by luciferase to produce molecule that emits light.
