Fish
Fish are animals that live in
water
Fish have fins that help them to
swim. Most fish have slimy skins covered with scales which are very small and
can hardly be seen.
Fish breathe through gills. These
look like a comb and lie on each side of the head. Fish take in the water all
the time. The water flows in through the mouth, over the gills, and out through
the sides of the head. When a fish takes in the water, it is not drinking but
breathing, and the gills absorb oxygen from the water.
The body of
a fish made up of the head, the trunk, and the tail fins.
There are many different kinds of
fish which have many different shapes and colors. Some fish are long and thin,
while others are flat and rounded. Most fish have bodies which broad at the
trunk region and narrow towards the head and tail.
Plants
Plants are living beings. They
need food, water, and air for survival.
Plants derive their food from the
earth and the air. If you look at their roots, you will find that the ends of
these roots are like fine fibers. We call them, root-hairs. They absorb water
and minerals, then transport them upwards to the leaves through the trunk and
the branches. It is the leaves which prepare the food.
The
green material, chlorophyll, prepares the food like a machine. It converts the
carbon dioxide taken from the air and water from the ground into sugar with the
help of sunlight. The chemical reaction is called photosynthesis. In fact, the
chlorophyll takes the energy from the sunlight and uses it to synthesize the
hydrogen from water and carbon dioxide for making sugar. This reaction also
gives out oxygen and water which are excreted by the leaves.
