Decent Essays
A goldfish does not have torpedoes nor missiles. Although that would be

awesome. A gold fish does however, have gills to supply its body with oxygen, just like

a submarine has a storing feature for oxygen. A Goldfish operates completely under

water just like a submarine does. Even structurally there are some physical similarities.

A goldfish has a fin on the top just like a submarine has an observation deck. Both used

for different purposes but that does not negate the structural similarities. Now we could

go out onto a limb and say the goldfish’s structure was used to help design a

submarine. A submarine has two fin like structures at the tail of the frame called the

tailplanes which help with steering. A goldfish has two fins In the

    They have a backbone and are limbless; they usually have scales as well as fins that they use for balance and to steer through the water. Description of gas exchange: As fish live in water their gas exchange system is somewhat different to that of terrestrial animals. They use fragile gills. It is a lot harder to obtain enough oxygen from the water as the concentration is so low, only about 4% and the fish are only able to extract 80% of this. Fish suck water in through their mouth and it flows over the gills.…

    Metabolism is often viewed as an organic and chemical process that occurs in living organisms which are essential in maintaining life. The main purpose of this mechanism is to convert digested food/fuel to energy and building block for macromolecules, while also eliminating nitrogenous waste through anabolic and catabolic reactions. Catabolic reactions are chemical reactions that breakdown complex organic molecules into simple molecules while releasing energy that is stored within ATP. This stored energy is used to drive anabolic reactions. Anabolic reactions synthesize macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates in addition to storing energy.…

    Have you ever wondered what adaptations allow deep-sea creatures to survive in extreme environments? There is no simple answer due to the fact that all creatures adapt to their environment in different ways. Although sea creatures live together in the same ocean, the condition in different areas varies. The different characteristics of these four sea creatures make them unique, therefore giving them various ways to adapt to extreme oceanic environments in order to survive. Despite living in different locations of the ocean, zombie worms, giant squids, yeti crabs, and deep-sea jellyfish all share one common trait: they must adapt to their environment to survive.…
