This document discusses the key characteristics and functions of living things. It states that all living things are made of cells, move, respond to stimuli, grow, feed, produce energy, and reproduce. It then provides more details on the functions of response, growth, nutrition, metabolism, reproduction, excretion, movement, and unicellular organisms.

4. Respons
The ability to react to changes in the
environment
Stimulus
Heat, touch, light, chemicals, sound
Receptors
Response
When you see something your eyes
are responding to lights

5. Growth
Living things gets larger and heavier as they develop.
Mass and volume increase by assimilation.
Assimilation means that substances is taken into the
organism from outside the body and build up the
structures of the body.

6. Nutrition
Animals – heterotrophs
digestion is when the food is
broken down into soluble form
and carried out in the gut.
Plants – autotrophs
make their own food by
photosynthesis
In the photosynthesis the plant
takes up carbon dioxid and
water and turns them into
suger.

7. Metabolism
Respiration
The food is broken down to carbon dioxid (g) and
water.
C6H12O2 O→ 2 + H2O + energy

8. Reproduction
Asexual reproduction
Split
Quickly and large number of offspring in god condition
Sexual reproduction
Both animals and plants
Female and male animals have gametes
Plants have pollen.

9. Excretion
Get rid of poisonous waste
Ammonia is turned into an less poisonous waste
substance, urine

10. Movement
Animals
move by means of muscles
the muscles are controlled by nerves
Plants
the movements ( ex. water) are inside the plant

11. Unicellular organisms
Carry out all the functions
