  1. LIFE PROCESSES Looking at living things

  2. Living things • Although all living things look different from each other, they all have eight things in common. • These eight things are called life processes. • Something is only alive if it does all eight processes.

  3. THE EIGHT LIFE PROCESSES

  4. 1 All living things move

  5. Animals move their whole bodies to get from one place to another. Plants turn towards the light and their roots grow down into the soil.

  6. 2 All living thingsregulate

  7. The internal environment of all living things needs fluids to run effectively • Fluid balance is maintained in both plants and animals • Animals drink water, especially if they are hot or sweating. • Plants grow in places where there is a source of water for them, their roots will absorb it from the soil.

  8. 3 All living things are sensitive

  9. All living things respond to changes. Living things notice changes in their surroundings and react to them. Eg. Plants grow towards the light. Eg. People react to the temperature around them.

  10. 6 All living thingsrespire (cellular respiration)

  11. Plants and animals use the oxygen in the air to turn food into energy. This happens in your cells too, oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.

  12. 5 All living thingsgrow

  13. Babies grow into adults. Seedlings grow into plants.

  14. 6 All living thingsreproduce

  15. Animals have babies. New plants grow from seeds.

  16. 7 All living thingsexcrete

  17. Waste substances must be removed from the body of the plant or animal Plants and animals both need to get rid of wastes (Gases like oxygen or carbon dioxide, solids and water.)

  18. 8 All living things neednutrition

  19. Food is used to provide energy. Green plants make their own food using sunlight. Animals eat plants or other animals.

  20. The eight life processes 1. Move 2. Regulate 3. Sensitive 4. Cellular Respiration 5. Grow 6. Reproduce 7. Excrete 8. Nutrition

  21. Use the first letter from each process to help you remember them. Move Regulate Sensitive Cellular Respiration Grow Respire Excrete Nutrition They spell MRS C. GREN

  22. This is MRS C GREN ! Can you remember what each of the letters in her name stand for ?

  23. Move Regulate Sensitive Cellular Respire Grow Reproduce Excrete Nutrition

  24. Well done !
