Biology - life processes

• Movement


  Animals use muscle to move. Plants use slow growth.
• Respiration


  Releasing energy from food
• Sensitivity


  Respond to changes in environment
• Control

  Maintain a steady state inside the organism (e.g., pH, temperature)
• Growth

  Increase in size and mass
• Reproduction

  Produce offspring
• Excretion


  Remove waste products from chemical reactions occurring in cells
• Nutrition


  Plants produce glucose and absorb minerals, animals eat food
• What is the process of cell division called?

  Growth
• What is the primary purpose of respiration in organisms?

  Releasing energy
• What does excretion refer to in biological terms?

  Removal of unneeded nutrients from an organism
• How do organisms demonstrate sensitivity?

  By responding to their surroundings
• What is the biological term for birth?

  Reproduction
• What does movement in organisms include?

  Walking and having a flagellum
• What is the process of feeding in organisms called?

  Nutrition
• What does control refer to in the context of biological processes?

  Control of different processes in the body

  • Growth: cell division
  • Respiration: releasing energy
  • Excretion: removal of unneeded nutrients
  • Sensitivity: response to surroundings
