16 You MUST be able to do ALL 8 things in order to be considered LIVING!!
STERNGRR Synthesis Transport Excretion Respiration Nutrition Growth/Development Reproduction Regulation You MUST be able to do ALL 8 things in order to be considered LIVING!!

17 Synthesis Synthesis – putting together many small pieces to make something larger ex. Photosynthesis Protein Synthesis CO2 + H2O + Sunlight Glucose + O2

18 Transport Transport – moving things throughout the organism
ex. Bloodstream moving oxygen & food Plants using roots to move water and nutrients Osmosis Diffusion Active Transport

19 Excretion Excretion – getting rid of wastes
ex. Sweating, exhaling, using bathroom

20 Respiration Respiration – NOT BREATHING!!
turning food into energy (ATP) ex. Turning lunch into ATP for the rest of the day

22 Nutrition Nutrition – taking in nutrients (food, water, oxygen)
ex. Breathing in, drinking, eating

23 Growth & Development Growth – getting BIGGER
Development - undergoing changes ex. Puberty & metamorphosis

24 Reproduction Reproduction – making a new organism, or making new cells
Two types : Asexual – 1 source of DNA Sexual – 2 sources of DNA Sexual Asexual
