Question
Chapter 26.3, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Ctenophores are characterized by eight rows of fused cilia arranged along the sides of the body. These cilia beat synchronously and help in the movement of ctenophores through the water. Some species move with a flapping motion of their lobes or undulations of the body. Many ctenophores possess tentacles but some lack tentacles completely.
