  • To increase in size
    Growth
  • To take in or make food
    Nutrition
  • To remove waste products
    Excretion
  • Which life process does a seed growing into a plant demonstrate?
    Growth
  • What by-product is released during respiration?
    Carbon dioxide
  • What do living things need to perform respiration?
    Oxygen
  • True or False: All living things must move their whole body to qualify as living.
    False (Even internal movement like blood flow counts)
  • Explain the difference between a population and a community in an ecosystem.
    A population is all the members of one species in an area. A community is all the different species living in the same area.
  • Which process allows a squid to release ink when threatened?
    Sensitivity
  • Which characteristic allows a deer to run away when it hears a noise?
    Sensitivity
  • Why is reproduction important for a species?
    It ensures the species continues
  • Name the part of the microscope used to focus the image.
    The focus knobs (coarse and fine adjustment knobs).
  • To release energy
    Respiration
  • A tree grows and makes its own food. Is it living or non-living?
    Living
  • The smallest unit of life
    Cells
  • What is a habitat?
    A habitat is the natural environment where a particular species lives and gets its food, water, shelter, and space.
  • Why do living things need respiration?
    To release energy from food
  • What is the scientific term for keeping the internal environment stable?
    Homeostasis
  • To produce offspring
    Reproduction
  • What is an ecosystem?
    An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with each other and with their non-living environment.
  • Give an example of an organism and its habitat.
    e.g A tuna lives in the ocean (marine habitat), Monkeys live in trees of tropical forests.
  • To change position
    Movement
  • True or False: A car moves and uses fuel, so it is a living thing.
    False
  • What is the mnemonic used to remember Living Processes?
    MRS C GREN
  • To react in the environment
    Sensitivity
  • Name 3 of the 5 kingdoms
    Plants, Animals, Fungi, Protists, Monera
  • Name two ways plants get their nutrients.
    From sunlight (photosynthesis) and from soil (water and minerals)
  • Which of the following is not one of the MRS GREN characteristics? Respiration, Digestion, Sensitivity, Growth
    Digestion
