Movement
Animals can move from place to place .
Plants do not move ,they move when they grow or when a flower opens and closes its 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 own food they get their food by eating plants and other animals. Plants make their own food
Photosynthesis
To make their own food they need a green dye called chlorophyll. This is why plants are green
Excretion
Excretion is the removal of waste made in the body , from the body . Animals excrete carbon dioxide water , urea and salts
Reproduction
Reproduction is being able to make new individuals of the same kind E.g. Babies plants, puppies
Growth
Growth results from cell division
Cell membrane
Very thin layer that surrounds the cell contents in place and controls what passes into and out of the cell.
Nucleus
Normally round it acts as the control centre of the cell it has the dna
Cytoplasm
The watery liquid found between the nucleus and the cell membrane
Mitchocarndra
supply energy to the
cell.
