What effect would gravity have on jellyfish if it were taken out of water? Why doesn't gravity have this effect while the jellyfish is in water?
Answers
Answer:
Scientists have discovered jellyfish fossil snapshots in rocks believed to be more than 500 million years old. That makes them even older than dinosaurs!
2. Jellyfish don’t have brains

They don’t have a heart, lungs or a brain either! So how does a jellyfish live without these vital organs? Their skin is so thin that they can absorb oxygen right through it, so they don’t need lungs. They don’t have any blood so they don’t need a heart to pump it. And they respond to the changes in their environment around them using signals from a nerve net just below their epidermis - the outer layer of skin - that is sensitive to touch, so they don’t need a brain to process complex thoughts.
3. A jellyfish is called a Medusa

Jellyfish often look like a bell with tentacles all around the edge or hanging off the bottom. The shape of this bell is called a medusa because it looks like the evil Medusa in Greek mythology - a woman who had offended the goddess Athena who then changed her hair into snakes and made her face so hideous it turned people into stone. Medusa is also the word for jellyfish in many other languages including Greek, Hebrew and French.
4. Jellyfish can clone themselves

Imagine if you could just split in half and create a second version of yourself? If you cut a jellyfish in half, the pieces of the jellyfish can regenerate and turn into two new jellies.
5. Some jellyfish have teeth

The beroid comb jellyfish has hundreds of rows of “teeth” made of tiny hairs that can pierce, tear and pull their prey into their stomachs.
6. Jellyfish have gone into space

In 1991, moonfish jellyfish travelled into outer space on the Space Shuttle Columbia so that scientists could examine how microgravity affected them. The jellyfish multiplied in space. When they came back to Earth, the scientists discovered that the space-born jellyfish couldn't figure out how to deal with gravity.
