Movement
Animals can move from place to place
Plants do not move but move when they grow or when a flowers opens or closes it’s petals
Respiration
Respiration is the way living things get energy.they take in oxygen and mix it with food to get energy
Sensitivity
Sensitivity is the ability to react to changes in the environment.animals will run away from danger,a plant will grow towards light
Feeding
Animals do not make their food
They get their food by eating plants or other animals
Photosynthesis
To make food they need a green dye called chlorophyll.this is why plants are green
Excretion
Is the removal of waste made in the body,from the body. Animals excrete carbon dioxide,water,urea and salts.
Reproduction
Is being able to make new individuals of the same kind.E.g babies,new plants,puppies.
Growth
Results from the cell division
Cell membrane
Very thin layer that surrounds the cell.holds cell contents in place and controls what passes into and out of the cell
Cytoplasm
The watery liquid found between the nucleus and the cell membrane
Nucleus
Is normally round it acts as the control centre of the cell it has DNA
Cell wall
Found outside the cell membrane of a plant cell.gives strength to the cell
