Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cnidarians, such as jellyfish and coral, have muscle and nerve fibers that allow them to move. They are able to contract their muscles and move through the water. Nematacysts are stinging cells used for defense and capturing prey, but they are not involved in movement. Secretion of a slime layer and pseudopods are movement strategies used by some other organisms, such as amoebas, but not cnidarians. Contractile vacuoles are organelles found in some unicellular organisms for osmoregulation and are not involved in movement in cnidarians.
