is a jellyfish an ectoplasm? if not, what sort of creature/cell is it? Thanks?

Question

I know that a jellyfish does not have a spine, but what IS it, it obviously isn't a vertebrae, is it classed as an invertebrae? Is it an ectoplasm?

Answer 1

Your question is intriguing: From where did you get the idea of ectoplasm ?!!! Really I will be very grateful if you can explain it.

We have the full explanations about jellyfish above, but I will ad the Matrix's Theory vision about it.

Jellyfish is primitive living being closest to life's origins. Since that living systems are merely an evolutionary step from non-living systems, jellyfish would reproduces an almost accurate shape of its closest ancestors. And it really happens. Jellyfish have the shape of galaxies. Everything in a jellyfish mimics biologically the functions of the parts of a galaxy system. And we are discovering that a cell system is just a terrestrial reproduction from the matrix of astronomy systems.

The bell is the quasar at the nucleus which contains a black hole. The quasar has the centrifuge force, so the bell in the selfish has the muscles which generate propulsive forces for swimming; the black hole is "the mouth" of galaxies systems, so, the jellyfish developed the mouth inside the bell; but the black hole digests the degradation mass and energy of the system, like a stomach: so, the jellyfish developed the stomach inside the bell. The oral arms of jellyfish mimics the galaxy's spiral tentacles. And so on...

As said someone here, ectoplasm is supposed being about spirit. We have discovered that several super-natural human's intuitions are products from informations recorded at human's DNA, from times when the DNA was the matrix at non-living beings. So, it is not out of the beam to suppose that ectoplasm was the intermediate state from non-living to living systems. Do you understand now why we are wondering about your question?

Answer 2

Jellyfish are Cnidarians, along with sea anemones. They are some of the simplest forms of true animals, having radial symmetry and a simple nerve net rather than a proper brain. They tend to have less in the way of true organs and have ectoderm and endoderm layers of cells, and little mesoderm, the third layer of cells. Higher animals have true organs and three layers of cells, and generally have bilateral symmetry i.e distinct left and right, front and back. They are not ectoplasm, I don't think any animals are, I don't know what that means except in Ghostbusters. Invertebrate isn't a particular classification of animals, whereas vertebrate is. Vertebrate is a subphylum of the Chordate phylum (phylum is a broad grouping of possibly related and similar animals), whereas Cnidarian, Mollusc, Arthropod etc. are phyla in their own right. So yes, you could call a jellyfish an invertebrate as it doesn't have a backbone. But the best classification of jellyfish is Cnidarian.

Answer 3

Jellyfish are indeed invertebrates. They are animals in the Phylum Cnidaria, along with other critters like coral and sea anenomes. The chief defining character of this Phylum is the possession of stinging cells, or nematocysts that fire tiny harpoons (often poisoned) into their prey.

In this fashion, these 'primitive' creatures can kill and eat even large, fast-moving creatures such as fish. Some varieties are even toxic enough to be dangerous to swimming humans.

Ectoplasm is a hypothetical spiritual substance that is used by, or possibly created by spectral entities such as ghosts, or astral travelers like githyanki. Composed of ethereal tendrils of partially solid but mostly insubtantial vapours, ectoplasm is not a real substance.

Answer 4

Jellyfish, coral, and sea anemones are in the phylum Cnidaria. (Or, it's a cnidarian.) It's an animal, and it isn't a vertebrate. Formerly all non-vertebrate animals were called 'invertebrates', but this is meaningless, since there isn't a single genetic grouping of 'invertebrates'. Cnidaria and vertebrates are two of the many different major groups of animals.

Check your dictionary for 'ectoplasm': it's a non-existent substance that has nothing to do with biology.

Answer 5

Jellyfish are invetebrates, called Cnidarians

Answer 6

It is a Cnidarian, same phylum as corals & anemonae.
They are invertebrates, and they are constructed of thousands of cells, it is a complex animal, having layers of specialized tissues and body functions, only it is transparent.

Answer 7

it is called a medusoid.
