Question 13.

Give scientific reasons.

Our body irritates if it comes in contact with jelly fish.


Answer:


Jellyfish belongs to the phylum Cnidaria. Cnidoblasts bearing tentacles are present around the mouth. These tentacles are useful for capturing the prey whereas cnidoblasts inject the toxin in the body of prey. Those are useful for protection too. The release of the contact and its contact with the skin hence causes irritation when our body comes in contact with the jelly fish.
