Life Processes Revision Guide

Movement To find nutrients and

to reproduce
Respiration Release energy to
carry out life processes
Sensitivity To sense which
direction to move, changes and
adapt to them
Growth To be able to reproduce
Reproduction To keep the
species from becoming extinct
Excretion To remove toxins
from the body eg: C0
2
from blood
cells
Nutrition To help carry out life
processes eg: respiration
Control of internal condition To
keep chemical reactions on going
eg: body temperature, water
content, sugar level etc.

Organization (Cell, Tissues,
Organs, Organs Systems

Cell is the smallest functioning
part of an LO eg: White Blood
Cell
Tissue A group of the same
cells that work together to
complete a job eg: Muscle
Tissue
Organ A group of tissues that
work together to complete a job
eg: Heart
Organ System A group of
organs working together to
complete a job eg: respiratory
system
Jobs

Nucleus controls the activities of
the cell
Cell Membrane Controls the
movement of substances in and
out if the cell (selectively
permeable)
Ribosomes Need to make
proteins
Cytoplasm This fills cells and
organelles are found in it.
Substances are dissolved in it.


Mitochondria - This is where aerobic respiration takes place
Chloroplast Contains a green pigment, chlorophyll, which
absorbs light energy to make glucose during photosynthesis
Vacuole Contains cell sap, mixture of sugars and ions
Cell Wall A thick structure made from cellulose, freely
permeable
Cell Wall, permanent vacuole, chloroplasts are
NOT found in ANIMAL CELLS!
