Let’s review:
The 7 processes that make something alive are:

4. Answer the question in your notebook:
What does it mean to be alive?
Life Process- A function that a living thing performs to stay alive and produce more of
it’s own kind.
Read page A6 in the text book

Meet MRS NERG
5. MOVEMENT – Release Energy
Photosynthesis Movement
Reproduction
Growth
PLANTS ANIMALS
Plants release energy
through their life
processes like growth
and photosynthesis.
Animals release energy by
movement.
7. Photosynthesis- The process plants
use to make food.
A plant needs light
energy from the sun
plus carbon
dioxide(CO2), plus
water. The plant will
make sugar and oxygen.
10. SENSITIVITY- reacting to your
surroundings

Stimulus and response
11. 1. Stimulus- Anything that causes a living thing to react
2. External Stimulus- Anything in an organism’s environment that causes it to
react. Example: ________________
3. Internal Stimulus- Anything within an organism that causes it to react.
Example: Hunger
Plants • React to light, water,
weather
Animals
• Use their 5 senses to
react
12. A cold wind
blows on you
A plant needs
water
A moth detects
a bat’s sound
waves
A dog sees a
can of food
opening
How do living things detect stimuli?

13. NUTRITION-Taking in nutrients
Makes seeds
Moves water
from roots
and leaves
Suck up water
and minerals
Makes food through
Photosynthesis. It needs
water + sun + carbon
dioxide
14. Digestive System- Breaks down food and gives
nutrients to the body and gives animals energy.

Answer these questions:
• What category of food do you eat most of?
• Least of?

16. EXCRETION- Creates waste
and RESPIRATION- breathing
