Question

The correct match for functions of nematocysts is

A. Stenotele	(i) Paralysing
B. Volvent	(ii) Capturing
C. Large glutinant	(iii) Attachment
D. Small glutinant	(iv) Locomotion

• A. A- (ii), B- (i), C- (iii), D- (iv)
• B. A- (i), B- (ii), C- (iii), D- (iv)
• C. A- (iv), B- (iii), C- (ii), D- (i)
• D. A- (iv), B- (i), C- (ii), D- (iii)

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

A- (i), B- (ii), C- (iii), D- (iv)

Stenotele is a type of nematocysts having distal end narrower than the base such as a stringing threat used for paralyzing the prey.
Volvent is lasso-string-like that is fired at prey and wraps around the cellular projection on the prey (for capturing).
A large glutinent is a sticky surface which is used to stick the prey.
A small glutinent is similar to large glutinent but smaller in size and is used for locomotion.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B), 'A-(i), B-(ii), C-(iii), D-(iv)'.
