Characteristics of Ctenophora (Comb Jellies) by adityastudy3108 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Ctenophora, commonly known as Comb Jellies or Sea Walnuts, consists of about 100 species and serves as an evolutionary link between Cnidarians and Platyhelminthes. These exclusively marine, planktonic animals are characterized by their gelatinous bodies, biradial symmetry, and eight rows of ciliary plates for locomotion. They possess unique adhesive cells for capturing food, lack nematocysts, and exhibit hermaphroditic reproduction with complex metamorphosis.
