which cell type helps the medusa detect light changes (and is especially well - developed in cubozoa)?
ocelli
statoliths
choanocytes
cnidocyte

Explanation:

• Ocelli are simple light - detecting organs. In medusae, especially in Cubozoa (box jellies), ocelli are well - developed and can detect light changes.
• Statoliths are related to balance and orientation (they detect gravity and movement for maintaining balance).
• Choanocytes are cells in sponges that are involved in filter - feeding (they have flagella that create water currents for capturing food particles).
• Cnidocytes are stinging cells in cnidarians (used for defense and capturing prey).

Answer:

ocelli
