Description
In this lab, we observed the jellyfish and labeled it's anatomy.
Procedure
We received a moon jelly in a petri dish. We drew and labeled it and looked at it under the dissecting scope. We didn't even dissect it.
Materials
Jellyfish
Petri Dish
Dissecting Scope
Conclusion/Analysis
In this lab, we figured out factors that help the jellyfish survive. Some of the things we learned were that jellyfish breathe out of gills and remove waste by diffusion. We also observed the different parts of the jellyfish. Personally, I always thought the arms were for swimming. But I found out that the tentacles are actually on the bottom edge of the jellyfish.
Ecology
Cnidarians, also known as jellyfish, can be a wide range of species. Jellyfish are found in every ocean, and can live in both freshwater and saltwater. They have been around for 500 million years, and the carnivorous creatures feed on plankton, fish eggs, crustaceans, and even other jellyfish.
Comparative Structure & Function
Porifera are sexual and asexual reproducing marine mammals. They are asymmetrical and can have one of the three skeletons: siliceous and calcareous spicule, calcareous laminae, or organic filaments. All their basic functions occur by diffusion.
