    For those who like some random science facts, Jellyfish and their relatives (Hydra, Portuguese Man-of-War, Sea Anemones) don't have a brain and a true nervous system but rather a "Nerve Net." Animals with these don't "think," like in the sense as vertebrates (reptiles, birds, mammals, and so on) do but rather just react to their environment. It's much more simple but they can feel pain, feel changes in pressure and temp., tell the difference between food and well not food, etc... But it's interesting since this is like one of the earliest forms of an actual nervous system which gave rise to more complex ones that many animals like us have today. It also hints at just how old these animal species are to have such a basic nervous system as well!

      @Exype 4 роки тому +5

      So they are sentient? In that case, It's interesting how wide the spectrum of sentience is. That makes me think, are plants sentient? Like the jellyfish they dont have brains. And i would assume they kind of react to the enviroment in the same way. The venus flytrap attracts and devours insects for instance.

    • @nucle4rpenguins534
      @nucle4rpenguins534 4 роки тому +8

      @@Exype Good point. I'd personally argue** (since I don't have an actual professional backing in this area I won't claim to be an "expert" just college experience if anything) they are not sentient. These animals, like I pointed out, just aren't capable of thought at all let alone any sort of "self awareness," as far as I know. It's subjective on what one means by "sentient," I'll acknowledge that but in the case for these two traits then these animals are a far cry from sentience.
      And plants are interesting too. I didn't explicitly state this before but plants, as in the whole kingdom of plants, don't have neurons (the main cells for a nervous system) and anything like a nervous system that animals from the animal kingdom can have.
      Plants are reactionary but through other means where for example the cells responsible for photosynthesis ( in a tree let's say) will signal with chemicals to other cells (that focus on growth) to grow over there where I can get a lot more light. And the tree will extend a branch, lean over a bit, etc.... across a very long period of time. In contrast if animals want to move from place to place, it can take anywhere from seconds, minutes, but not years to get there.
      And as for very rapid moving plants like the Venus Flytrap, it's very similar. These plants still don't have a nervous system but cells responsible for checking out their prey in the "mouth-leaves," of the plant to detect whether I can eat this or not. These cells then release signals giving the A-okay for the "trigger"-cells that then close the mouth and release chemicals (enzymes I think) to digest the prey. But these plants don't have nerves, tendons, muscles or any specialized cells for actual movement. That too is really interesting and another cool area to look into. Sorry for the long comment but I hope it's helpful :)
