    2. Answer:

      1. Nematocysts are concerned with defense and offense. Tentacles are usually used for defense, offense, and food collection. Hence nematocysts are more concentrated in the oral end.
      2. The major difficulties cnidarians have to face in the absence of nematocysts are food collection and escaping from enemies.
