What is the name of the seven processes that are carried out by all living things in order to survive?

It is easy to decide whether most objects are living or not. A brick is obviously not living and has never been alive. A dog running around is obviously alive. But what about a leaf that has fallen from a tree? To answer a question like this we need to think about what all living things must do to be alive. All living things must carry out seven processes to stay alive. 1. All living things obtain energy from their food by a process called RESPIRATION. 2. All living things obtain food by a process called NUTRITION. 3. All living things rid themselves of waste materials by a process called EXCRETION. 4. GROWTH is another important function of living things. All living things grow. 5. All living things respond to their environment. They therefore require SENSITIVITY. 6. All living things move. MOVEMENT is an important part of life. 7. All living things get old and die. Replacements are made by the process of REPRODUCTION.
