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.

True false animals that live exclusively by eating other animals are unable to use carbohydrates to fuel their life processes?

False. All animals, regardless of their primary diet, are able to use carbohydrates as a source of energy to fuel their life processes. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is a universal source of energy for all living organisms.


Can an animal do all seven life processes?

Yes, animals can perform all seven life processes: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion, and nutrition. Each process is essential for the survival and functioning of an animal.
