Algae are aquatic organisms that rely on sunlight for food, similar to plants, though they are not classified as such. Sea anemones, resembling flowers, are carnivorous invertebrates with venomous tentacles, living attached to rocks on the seafloor. Appendages are features like fingers or legs that serve specific functions. An array is an organized group of objects or options. Asteroids are rocky bodies orbiting the sun, mainly found between Mars and Jupiter. Biologists study living organisms. Calcium is a common element in Earth’s crust and is vital for bones and teeth. Calcium carbonate, found in limestone, is used in antacids. Cancer refers to diseases with uncontrolled cell growth. Carbon is essential for life and is a key component of many substances. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is produced by animals and burning organic matter, contributing to climate change.
