Question

Which of the following describes a cnidarian with a polyp body form?

Answer 1

Answer:

a tube-like body attached to a firm surface with tentacles on the opposite side of the attachment, surrounding the animal's mouth

Explanation:

A polyp is a type of body structure that a cnidarian can assume. The cnidarians, in turn, are invetebrate animals of aquatic life. This group of animals includes jellyfish, corals and sea anemones.

In polyp form, cnidarians are not actively moving, although some do move when they feel threatened. This is because they appear as a tubular structure, with one end fixed to the sea floor. The other end presents the animal's mouth, which is surrounded by tentacles that are responsible for capturing the prey needed for food.
