Q: Cnidarians have a simple digestive system with a single opening surrounded by what type of structures, which are used to capture prey?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

The body of a cnidarian consists of two cell layers, ectoderm and endoderm. The cells surround a digestive cavity called the coelenteron (see Figure below ). Cnidarians have a simple digestive system. The single opening is surrounded by tentacles, which are used to capture prey. The tentacles are covered with nematocyst cells. Digestion takes place in the coelenteron. Nutrients are absorbed and gases exchanged through the cells lining this cavity. Fluid in the coelenteron creates a hydrostatic skeleton.

 Choices:

- spines

- antennae

- claws

- tentacles


A:
tentacles
