Which inference can be drawn from the passage about the feeding habits of
jellyfish?
Jellyfish drain the ocean of zooplankton.
Dining on Jellyfish
A jellyfish floating in the water can look
almost invisible, or-if you do manage to
spot it-it may look like a plastic bag filled
with water: That's because jellyfish are
made up of 95 percent water. For a long
time, this plastic-bag-like creature was
barely noted by marine scientists when
they studied the ocean food web, a
diagram that details what ocean animals
eat. Because of its high water content,
marine biologists assumed that the
jellyfish was not a sought-after meal in
the ocean.
Jellyfish get little nutrition from small fish.
Jellyfish disturb the food web by feeding on
ooze.
Jellyfish adapt their diets when food is
scarce.
