Sea Anemone Venom Peptides RAYMOND S. NORTON, in Handbook of Biologically Active Peptides, 2006 INTRODUCTION Sea anemones, in common with other members of the phylum Cnidaria (Coelenterata), possess numerous tentacles containing specialized stinging cells or cnidocytes. These stinging cells are equipp...
by the tentacles. Most sea anemones are predaceous, immobilizing their prey with the aid of specialized stinging cells called nematocysts.Metridiumis the genus most often studied in classrooms. The burrowing anemone,Cerianthuss,occurs on both Pacific and Atlantic coasts; some may reach nearly 2 ft...
which shelter from predators in the Sea Anemone’s stinging cells. Some species of Sea Anemones are thought to be able to survive for 100 years or more. Sea Anemones are predatory and are related to both sea jellies & corals. It is a type of polyp that is attached to a surface in ...
all.They have a free-swimming larval stage and a simple body plan: a central mouth, through which material passes in and out of the body, and a ring of tentacles.The other distinguishing feature of the cnidarians is the presence of nematocysts (stinging cells), which are used to catch ...
Jellyfish have this body type. The polyp is like an upside-down medusa, with its body anchored down and its tentacles and mouth pointed upward. Anemones and coral follow this body plan. All cndarians have stinging cells called nematocytes that they use to envenomate prey or protect ...
