    This document provides information about living things and how they are classified. It discusses the basic life processes of interaction, nutrition, and reproduction that all living things perform. It then describes the basic unit of life, the cell, and how cells are organized into tissues, organs and systems. Finally, it outlines the five kingdoms used to classify living things - Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia - and provides some key characteristics of each kingdom.

    LIVING THINGS ( unit 5)

    1- LIFE ON EARTH
    The biosphere is the part of the Earth where we can find living organisms, like plants and animals

    All living things perform the basic life processes :

    1-.Interaction:

    all living things detect information about their environment

    they react to this information

    2-Nutrition :

    all living things take essential nutrients

    these nutrients give them energy to grow and develop

    3-Reproduction

    living things can create new members

    they reproduce in different ways

    HUMAN BEINGS

    Living organisms

    they perform the basic life processes:

    Interaction
    We use the senses to detect information about the world
    We communicate
    We move around and do many things

    Nutrition
    We breathe air
    We drink water and eat food
    We eliminate waste products

    Reproduction
    We are born
    We have children
    Mothers produce milk for their babies

    2-CELLS

    Are the basic units of life

    are very small

    we need a microscope to see them

    They are living things because they perform the basic processes of interaction, nutrition and reproduction.

    They reproduce by dividing to form two new cells

    They can be:


    -unicellular organisms: bacteria or yeast
    - multicellular organisms: trees, butterflies

    Parts:

    Animals

    Plants

    Membrane

    Membrane

    Nucleus

    Nucleus

    Cytoplasm

    Cytoplasm: special organelles called chloroplasts


    A cell wall: outside the membrane

    How are cells organised?

    In multicellular organisms, cells work together in different ways

    Cells

    Tissues: group of cells that perform a specific function


    Ex. Muscle tissue
    Nervous tissue

    Organs: combination of tissues that work together


    Ex. Heart, lungs, stomach

    Systems and apparatuses: groups of organs that work together.


    Ex. Circulatory system, digestive system

    3- CLASSIFYING LIVING THINGS


    The five kingdoms:

    1- Moneran kingdom
    Unicellular organisms: one cell

    Bacteria

    2- Protist kingdom
    Unicellular or multicellular

    Protozoans

    Aquatic organisms

    and

    algae

    similar to plants. They can make their own food

    3-Fungus kingdom

    Can be unicellular: yeast

    or multicellular: mushrooms

    Take nutrients from the remains of plants and animals

    They can t move

    4- Plant kingdom: multicellular

    They can make their own food

    They use energy from sun to perform photosynthesis

    They dont move

    5-Animal kingdom

    Multicellular organisms.

    They can move around

    They cant make their own food
