Antarctica: penguins, seals and the coldest place on Earth, sentence 15

Antarctic icefish are the only animals with backbones that have no red blood cells, so their blood is almost clear; very cold water holds plenty of oxygen, and many Antarctic fish have antifreeze in their blood.

Who acts: Antarctic icefish, backbones, blood, cold water, many Antarctic fish · What happens: be, have, hold · To what, where: only animals, red blood cells, plenty, antifreeze, blood
