LIFE PROCESSESBy Jason

Introduction

Movement

Movement is an important life process that helps animals and plants to protect themselves and find food.

Respiration(Breathing)

Breathing is important because if you don’t breathe you will not survive. Respiration is the process of breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide.Plants do not breathe oxygen, they breathe carbon dioxide and they excrete oxygen for other living things to breathe.If all plants and trees were chopped down humans would become extinct because they would not have enough oxygen in their lungs.

Sensitivity

Our sense are touch, smell, hearing, tasting and seeing. Our senses help us to survive by letting us know if predators are around such as lions and man-eating crocodiles.Boysenberries taste really good, but other berries can be poisonous and taste disgusting so that we spit them out.

GrowthThey eventually have to die. Everyone has to grow up even if it is as slow as a snail. You are born small then you have to get big. You have long periods of time to grow up. Some things can grow for 860,500 years.Plants grow from seeds into flowers and sometime very large trees.

Reproduction

Reproduction is important because if a species did not make babies or seeds then the world would go into chaos as there would be no new generations to carry on the species.

Excretion

What must go in must come out the other end. Examples of excretion are breathing out carbon dioxide, sweating, urine and poop.If living things didn’t excrete they would have lots of toxins trapped in them and they would not have long until they died.

Nutrients

You must eat fruit, vegetable and meats if you just eat junk food you will die sooner or later. People that don’t have vitamin c or any minerals will get very sick and they could die.
