Life processes- when we are dealing with life processes, the 1st process we should deal with is Nutrition.
1. Nutrition- obtaining and processing food.
- There are two types of nutrition
a. Autotrophs
1. Self feeders- Example- green plants. They make their own food from simple (inorganic) materials.
2. They carry out food by photosynthesis- light- they make something using light.
- Chemosynthesis- carried out by things that live deep in the ocean- using chemicals to make something.
b. Heterotrophs
1. Other feeders- animals. They obtain preformed food from others.
2. They carry out food by
a. Ingest- take the food in
b. Digest- to brake down the food
c. Egest- eliminating unprocessed waste.
2. Transport- absorb and circulate (distribute)
3. Respiration- release of energy from food. (Oxidation- burning of food.)
4. Excretion- removal of processed (metabolic) wastes. What body part has this role? The kidneys.
5. Synthesis- root syn- together. Small molecules are put together to form/make larger ones.
6. Growth- organism increase in size.
7. Regulation- control and coordination- Communication is included.
8. Reproduction- production of new individuals. Why was reproduction written last as it has anything to do with the others? Why did scientists include this? Reproduction is not necessary for the individual. It is necessary for the preservation of the species
B. Metabolism- all of the life processes- life activities.
C. Homeostasis- living organisms must remain in homeostasis. If they don't, they are ill or they are dead. Homeostasis- same stationary condition- steady state- organisms need to maintain a steady state despite an ever-changing internal and external environment. How do we maintain balance? How does the body know? The nervous system is most related to this- sweat.

Can an animal do all seven life processes?
In order for anything to be alive, it has to carry out all seven life processes
Why do you think different animals have different life cycle?
I have analysed that it is due to stability of life, if the life processes of an organism are more stable its lifespan will be longer and more important the balance of genes. e.g parrot has a life span of 120 years because it has got the more stable genetical structure.
How much of the food energy that is taken in by an organism is used for its own life processes?
Producers use about 90 percent of the food energy they make during photosynthesis for their life processes.
Name of the animals living in water?
Animals that live in the oceran are called marine animals. Animals that live in water that's not the ocean are called freshwater/aquatic animals.
What is another name for animal life?
A Study Of An Animal Life Is Called Zoology Mainly Comprises With Land Animals.
What carries out all life processes are they animals?
Some animals can. I think....... :)
How do animals get the energy they need or life processes?
animals get there energy by eating other animals
What gas do animals need to carry out life processes?
Animals need oxygen to carry out life processes. Plants need carbon dioxide. Some animals and plants can use either if they need to.
True false animals that live exclusively by eating other animals are unable to use carbohydrates to fuel their life processes?
False.
Is it true that animals that live exclusively on a diet of other animals are unable to use carbohydrates to fuel their life processes?
yes I think so
What is a living thing that carries out seven different life processes?
There are seven life processes that tell us that animals and plants are alive. To help us remember them use: Mrs Nerg. The letters in it stand for the life processes - movement, reproduction, sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, respiration and growth.
What specific topics do you study in a biology class?
cells human body life processes in plants and animals
What mammalogists study?
A mammalogist studies the origins, behavior diseases, genetics, and life processes of animals and wildlife.
Animals and man exhibit life through the physical medium of what?
Animals and man exhibit life through the physical medium of a brain. The brain serves as the coordinating center for all bodily processes.
How plants and animals are interdependent to each other?
Plants produce oxygen, which animals use to breathe, from carbon dioxide, which the plants use to carry out their life processes.
Name two life processes which help living organisms to procure food?
For Plants: Photosynthesis For Animals: Cellular Respiration
Can a plant do all seven life processes?
A plant regulates its life processes
