K SUNKANNA · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [C]
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Ctenophore biology and prey capture mechanisms
	**Related Topics**: Cnidarians, marine invertebrates, ecology of ctenophores
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of marine biology and animal anatomy
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
		- Ctenophores are a phylum of marine invertebrates.
		- They possess specialized cells for capturing prey.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Identify the types of cells present in ctenophores.
		Reasoning: Ctenophores are distinct from cnidarians, which use different mechanisms.
		Formula/Rule: None applicable here.
	2. Recognize that ctenophores use a unique type of adhesive cell.
		Working: The options provided include various cell types associated with different organisms.
		Key Point: Only one of the options refers to the specific adhesive cells in ctenophores.
	3. Conclude the correct type of cell used by ctenophores.
		Result: Ctenophores use colloblasts for prey capture.
		Verification: Colloblasts are well-documented in scientific literature as the adhesive cells of ctenophores.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Cnidocytes are stinging cells found in cnidarians, not ctenophores.
[B] :x: Nematocysts are specialized stinging structures found in cnidarians, not in ctenophores.
[C] ✓: Colloblasts are indeed the unique adhesive cells found in ctenophores used for capturing prey.
[D] :x: Ptychocysts are adhesive cells found in some marine organisms, but not specifically in ctenophores.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing ctenophores with cnidarians: Remember that ctenophores have colloblasts, while cnidarians have cnidocytes and nematocysts.
		2. Misidentifying the function of different cell types: Focus on the specific function of each cell type in their respective organisms.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Visual aids: Use diagrams of ctenophores to identify key structures and their functions.
		2. Mnemonic: Remember 'C' for Colloblasts in Ctenophores to differentiate from other cell types.
