G growth
Movement
Plants do not move from place to place
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

Living things
Feeding
Feeding animals don’t make their own food
They get their food by eating plants and other animals. plants make their own food
The way in which plants make food is called photosynthesis
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 example 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
Nucleus
Is the 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
Mitochondria
Supply energy of the cell
