This is a diagram of the two stages of the jellyfish life cycle. At first, it's a polyp, a sessile cylinder that eventually transforms into a Medusa (an adult jellyfish).

These are two of the two hundred different species of the jellyfish. The Moon and the Cannonball Jellyfish

Andrew Beckmann Fierce Frogs Phylum Cnidaria Class Scphozoa Jellyfish This is a photo of the main body and the long tentacles of the adult medusa jellyfish. The picture shows how most of the mass of the jellyfish is located in the top portion. Important body parts, like the bell and the mouth are also located in the top portion. The jellyfish uses it long tentacles to induce stimuli to it’s environment and maintain homeostasis.

This is a diagram of the what the jellyfish’s body composition is when it is in it’s fully grown medusa stage. The mouth, one of the most important parts of the jellyfish, is located on the bottom of the head next to the oral arms. The Jellyfish uses it oral arms to capture nutrients and feed itself.
