How is a clown fish living?By Chelsey

Energy

Living things require energy to live, the clown fish obtains it’s energy from eating plankton and barnacles.

Environment Living organisms respond to their environment, Clown

fish hide in a sea anemone when a predator comes to close.

They can only live in 10 out of thousands of species of sea anemone.

Reproduction

Living organisms reproduce to keep their species living. Clown fish sexually reproduce, and they lay eggs. Clown fish also have the ability to change their gender,

in a school when the female dies one of the males takes her place.

Growth

Living organisms grow from child to adult. Clown Fish start as eggs, they develop their skeleton,

and eyes, lungs and their other organs then hatch into a small baby fish which grows to a bigger full grown adult.

Waste

Living organisms produce waste, (urine or feces) The clown fish urinates and leaves feces.

Organization

Living organisms are made up of cells, a cell is the basic unit of life.

Clown fish are made up of cells. The picture to the left is brain cells and to the right is red blood cells.

Adaptation

Living organisms adapt to their environment. Clown fish adapted gills to breathe water, also they

adapted changing their gender so they can mate if there is a shortage of males or females.

Reproduction

Living organisms reproduce to maintain their species, the sea anemone both asexually and sexually reproduces.

Growth

Living organisms grow from childhood to adult, the pictures below show baby sea anemones grown into adult.

Waste

Living organisms produce waste, the Sea anemone produces feces and not oxygen because photosynthesis is impossible in the sea and it gets it glucose or food from algae.

Organization

Living organisms are made up of cells, the sea anemone is made up of lots of cells the picture above is the skin or outer layer of the plant.

Adaptation

Living organisms adapt to their environment, the sea anemone has poisonous tentacles that protect it’s self from predators.
