Description
The ocean is teeming with a vast array of life forms, ranging from microscopic phytoplankton to massive whales. Coral reefs are particularly rich ecosystems, hosting a variety of colorful fish, coral species, and other marine creatures.
Different zones of the ocean, such as the intertidal zone, pelagic zone, and benthic zone, support unique ecosystems with specific adaptations. For example, the deep sea is home to mysterious and often bioluminescent creatures adapted to extreme pressure and low temperatures.
Jellyfish:
Jellyfish are fascinating creatures found in marine environments. They are composed of a gelatinous substance and come in various shapes and sizes. Some species have tentacles equipped with specialized cells called cnidocytes that release venom to capture prey.
Despite their simple anatomy, jellyfish play a crucial role in marine ecosystems. They are both predators and prey and are part of the planktonic community.
