what is a life process
A process necessary to live
How many processes are there
8 growth and repair nutrition circulation respiration secretion sensations locomotion reproduction
what is growth and repair
increase size by adding cells or cells grow
What is nutrition
food ingested and absorbed
what is circulation
movement if substances within an organism
what is respiration
breathing
what is secretion
production within organism of watery substances needed for life process
what are sensations
ability to feel or gather information from the environment
what is locomotion
movement; moving from one place to another
what is reproduction
producing new organisms of the same species; both asexual and sexual
which of the 8 processes can you live without
reproduction
what is life span
how long you live
what is an ecosystem
community of abiotic and biotic factors
what is saphrophage
organisms that eat dead plants and animals
what are the two food groups (hint: living and dead)
saphrophage and biophage
what is biophage
eating without saying the word eating-eating organisms that are alive (note: wtf are you saying charle but ok)
how do organisms get nutrition
food
what is the process of changing food
digestion
every species has a different amount of _____
chromosomes
what are chromosomes
genetic DNA
animals receive __________ form each parent
half chromosomes
what is a food chain
from prey to preditor, death and rebirth again
what is a community
all living things in an ecosystem with some sort of harmony
what is a niche
job specific to animal
nutrition varies when
for each species
Examples of getting food
Deer browse for food
oysters sit and filter for food
what does alkaline mean
less acidic
what are the two types of circulation
circulatory system for animals and vasculatory system for plants
what are the two types of tissues in a plant
xylem-water and raw foods-nutrients
phloem-nutrients from food out to the soil
