This document summarizes the seven life processes: growth, respiration, movement, nutrition, sensitivity, reproduction, and excretion. It provides examples of how each process is important for living things. Growth allows organisms to obtain food and defend themselves. Respiration provides oxygen to living things. Movement enables obtaining food, water and escaping danger. Nutrition provides materials for growth. Sensitivity allows detecting dangers and pleasures. Reproduction ensures species continuation. Excretion removes waste from organisms. All seven processes are equally important for sustaining life.
