How does the Cnidocyte of a Cnidarian Function? A cnidocyte, cnidoblast or nematocyte, is a type of venomous cell unique to the phylum Cnidaria (corals, sea anemones, hydrae, jellyfish, etc.).
Such cells are called stem cells. Stem cells are those undifferentiated cells which have the potential to become specialized to form a specific type of cell. For instance, mesenchymal stem cells are a type of stem cells which can differentiate into osteoblasts, chrondocytes, myocytes and adipocytes.
Organisms consisting of only one a single cell are called unicellular. A bacteruim or a protist like amoebas and paramecia are unicellular. While, most of the oganisms you are â¦ familiar with, such as dogs and trees, are multicellular.
