Question :7 Read the passage below and answer the below given
questions.
(2)
Tiny freshwater hydra, stinging jellyfish, and flowerlike coral allbelong to the
phylum Cnidaria. Animals in this phylum are called cnidarians. The body of a
cnidarian may be either bell-shaped or vase-shaped. The bell-shaped
medusa is specialized for swimming. In contrast, the vase-shaped form,
called a polyp, is specialized for a sessile existence. All cnidarians have
bodies constructed of two cell layersan outer epidermis and an inner
gastrodermis. Between these layers is a jellylike material known as
mesoglea. In the center of the body is a hollow gut called the
5

gastrovascular cavity, which has a single opening, or mouth. Surrounding

the mouth are numerous flexible extensions called tentacles.
