1. What are Life Processes?
STERNGRR S
Synthesis
How and what do they make? T
Transport
How do they move materials? E
Excretion
How do they remove waste? R
Respiration
How do they make ATP energy? N
Nutrition
How do they make or get food? G
Growth & Development
How do they grow and develop?
Regulation
How do they maintain homeostasis?
Reproduction
How do they reproduce?

2. Synthesis Organisms build big things from little things.
Protein Synthesis:
All organisms do this with ribosomes
Two types involving energy to make food:
Photosynthesis- use light energy 2

3. Transport Movement of materials within an organism.
Transport includes:
Absorption for single cells
diffusion
osmosis
Circulation for many cells
circulatory system 3

4. Excretion How does an organism get rid of waste? Diffusion, Osmosis
Organs, Organ Systems 4

5. Respiration How does it get ATP energy from glucose. Two types:
Anaerobic: does NOT use oxygen
Pyruvic acid
Alocohol fermentation  CO2
Aerobic: uses oxygen
O2  CO2
Organs and Organ Systems involved in gas exchange 5

6. Nutrition
Living things MUST obtain energy and nutrients from the environment
Two ways to get energy:
Autotroph: make their own food (glucose)
Heterotroph: cannot make their own food (glucose)
Two ways to get material:
Producers: get carbon from CO2
Consumers: get carbon from producers 6

7. Growth and Development
Involves an increase in:
number of cells (multicellular)
Size of cells (unicellular)
Development is a change in form from
child to adult. EX: puberty in humans
Extreme development - metamorphosis
EX: insects, frogs 7

8. Regulation Maintaining homeostasis.
A way to interact with and respond to stimuli
Controlling and regulating various activities by:
Cell communication, Senses
Some ways: Nervous system, Hormones
What stimuli in the environment do they need to respond to? 8

9. Reproduction Involves producing more organisms of the same kind
Sexual vs. Asexual
Internal vs. External Fertilization
Egg vs. Live Birth 9
