The seven functions of life Flashcards
Nutrition
obtaining food to provide energy and the materials needed for growth
Response
the ability to react to changes in the environment
Excretion
getting rid of waste products of metabolism
Metabolism
chemical reactions inside the cell, including cell respiration to release energy
Growth
an irreversible increase in size
Homeostasis
keeping conditions inside the organism within tolerable limits
Reproduction
creating offspring sexually or asexually
NUTRITION IN PARAMECIUM
food vacuoles contain organisms
RESPONSE IN PARAMECIUM
cilia
EXCRETION IN PARAMECIUM
plasma membrane controls entry and exit
METABOLISM IN PARAMECIUM
Most metabolic pathways happen in cytoplasm
GROWTH IN PARAMECIUM
after consuming it will get bigger until it divides
HOMEOSTASIS IN PARAMECIUM
contractile vacuole
REPRODUCTION IN PARAMECIUM
asexual division
