What's the difference between ctenophora and jellyfish?
Ctenophora
Definition:
(n. pl.) A class of Coelenterata, commonly ellipsoidal in shape, swimming by means of eight longitudinal rows of paddles. The separate paddles somewhat resemble combs.
Example Sentences:

(8) They were found in Ctenophora, Leptomedusa and the gastropod Janthina.
Jellyfish
Definition:
(n.) Any one of the acalephs, esp. one of the larger species, having a jellylike appearance. See Medusa.
Example Sentences:

(2) In-hospital resuscitation from unresponsive circulatory arrest should now involve intravenously-administered verapamil (or its equivalent) and additional box-jellyfish antivenom, while the patient is being monitored.
(3) The ultrastructure and major soluble proteins of the transparent eye lens of two cubomedusan jellyfish, Tripedalia cystophora and Carybdea marsupialis, have been examined.
(4) I was sitting in the room, reading all the negativity and death threats, and by now the helium balloons were half-full, hovering like jellyfish.
(5) I know a little about the jellyfishes of Australia because when I worked there for the Guardian, poisonous species such as the box jellyfish would occasionally kill a luckless swimmer off the tropical north coast.
(6) The survey for the UK, which asks people to report jellyfish they see in the sea or on beaches, comes after a mass invasion of thousands of miles of the Mediterranean coastline by millions of jellyfish in June, affecting tourists who head there in the summer.

(15) Also featured are the puffer fish, dung beetle, veiled chameleon and moon jellyfish.
(16) It's hard not to describe this creature without resorting to multiple similes – it's like a mushroom, an umbrella, a beating heart, an alien lifeform – all of which diminish its glory, as indeed does the word "jellyfish".
(17) This isn’t just about the effect on other species,” said Stefano Piraino, a jellyfish expert at the University of Salento, and one of the 18 signatories.
(18) Jellyfish appear to be on the increase globally, which may be part of a natural cycle or linked to factors caused by humans such as pollution, over-fishing or even climate change, experts said.
(19) Aequorin, a Ca(II)-sensitive bioluminescent protein from jellyfish, emits light at 469 nm from an excited state of a substituted pyrazine (oxyluciferin) which results from the oxidation of a chromophore molecule that is noncovalently bound to the protein.
