LIFE PROCESSES
Looking at living things

2. Learning Target
All organisms must contain parts to carry out all life functions.

3. Life Functions MRS GREN M: Movement R: Respiration S: Sensitivity
G: Growth
R: Reproduction
E: Excretion
N: Nutrition

4. Movement All living organisms move to: Find shelter
Escape from predators and other danger
Find food
Find a mate

5. Respiration
The release of energy from glucose or another organic chemical in our cells. This is how living organisms make energy from glucose.

6. Sensitivity
All organisms respond to their environment.

7. Growth
All organisms grow from a baby to an adult. (Could you imagine a baby being born the size of an adult? I don’t think so!!)

8. Reproduction
Making more of ourselves

9. Excretion
Getting rid of the poisonous waste products produced by chemical reactions in our bodies. We do this by breathing out carbon dioxide and urinating.

10. Nutrition
We need materials for:
Growth
Repair
Energy

11. How do you know “it”s alive?
In order to be considered living – the organism must possess all of the life functions (MRS GREN)
