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 polyps (the body as a vase shaped form), and sexual, free-swimming forms called medusae (singular medusa; the body in a bell-shaped form), New World Encyclopedia said.
Lacking in the sensory systems that correspond to some organs jellyfish are considered simple-bodied marine invertebrate because like Cnidarian cousins, it has no head, brain, heart, blood, eyes or ears. Although, jellyfish …show more content…
Also, they can interrupt power and freshwater production. However, transporting carbon to greater ocean depths, serving as food source for humans, enhancing biodiversity, and contributing to medical advances (NCEAS 2014). In addition to, they play an important role to our ecosystem by helping cleanse ocean water and regulate biodiversity. By palpitating, they fill their giant bells with water and digest agricultural waste out of the ocean, which makes the ocean cleaner. According to Billie Abbot, jellyfish are carnivorous and feed mostly on zooplankton, comb jellies and other jellyfish. As well as, eating copepods (which eat phytoplankton and then excrete toxins into the water), fish eggs, and larvae jellyfish help regulate biodiversity. Because of the competition it is important that jellyfish dominate this from the lower levels of the food
