3. Inside: uncut portion on right side
State the definition of each stage and examples using this PowerPoint.

4. Synthesis Definition: Examples:
How organisms build necessary molecules
Examples:
Photosynthesis
Protein Synthesis

5. Transport Definition: Example:
Moving materials throughout an organisms system
Example:
Blood moving through veins
Moving waste from cells to the organs of excretion

6. Excretion Definition: Example: The removal of waste.
Getting rid of salt or water through urinary tract

7. Regulation Definition: Example:
Maintaining an internal balance (AKA homeostasis)
Example:
Using hormones and our nervous system to keep our bodies at balance

8. Nutrition Definition: Examples:
How organisms break down and absorb food
Examples:
Heterotroph -> Needs to eat food
Autotroph -> Make their own food using photosynthesis

9. Growth & Development Definition: Example:
Increasing in size & changing into a better form.
Example:
Growth is increasing in size
Development is changing from a child to adult

10. Respiration Definition: Examples: How organisms exchange gases
Anaerobic -> Does NOT use oxygen
Aerobic -> Uses oxygen

11. Reproduction Definition: Examples: Creating offspring
Asexual vs. sexual
Seeds vs Spores

12. Inside: Cut portion on the left
Complete STERNGRR on your favorite animal. You may need to google this or ask me for help in the morning and that’s okay! My example is on the next slide… We will use a Butterfly. If that’s your favorite animal sorry choose another.

13. Synthesis: Protein synthesis (every living creature does this)
Transport: Butterflies have an open circulatory system to move blood around, this means they do not have veins.
Excretion: They excrete the waste they no longer need
Respiration: Butterflies breathe using spiracles
Nutrition: Most butterflies consume nectar for nutrients.
Growth and Development: Butterflies go through metamorphosis. Changing from an egg to larva to caterpillar then an adult butterfly.
Regulation: Butterflies have hormones to help regulate their bodies.
Reproduction: Butterflies reproduce sexually.
