Question

why do clown fish not get stung by sea anemones? (select all that apply.) they clean the anemone they are being saved as food for later they are protected by the anemone they provide the anemone nutrients

Explanation:

• "They clean the anemone": Clownfish clean the sea anemone, which is part of their symbiotic relationship, and this behavior is related to why they don't get stung.
• "They provide the anemone nutrients": Clownfish provide nutrients (e.g., from their waste or uneaten food) to the anemone, contributing to the symbiosis and their ability to avoid stings.
• "They are being saved as food for later" is incorrect as clownfish and anemones have a mutualistic relationship, not a predatory - storage one.
• "They are protected by the anemone" is about the anemone protecting the clownfish, not why the clownfish isn't stung by the anemone.

Answer:

A. They clean the anemone, D. They provide the anemone nutrients
