LIFE PROCESSESBy Shannyn

INTRODUCTIONMrs Gren, now you may be wondering what that means. It is the shorted word for all seven life processes to help you remember them. Here is a slide show telling you about them.

GROWTHGrowth is an important part of life. If nothing could grow humans wouldn’t be able to get fresh food.All living things need Growth. Without Growth the world would die out because living things would have no food and they couldn’t defend themselves against danger.

RESPIRATIONAll living things need respiration. Without respiration all living things would die because if a living thing couldn’t breath they would suffocate. Respiration is a fancy word for breathing and absorbing oxygen into your bloodstream. Plants and humans breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxid.

MOVEMENTMovement is a very important part of life. Without movement you would not be able to get food or water, and you wouldn’t be able to defend against danger. If humans didn’t move their joints would get stiff and they could get arthritis. If plants didn’t move then they wouldn’t get enough sun on their leaves and the leaves would wither and crumble.

NUTRITIONNutrition is also a very important part of life. Without nutrition living things would not be able to grow. Food is an important nutrition source. To get nutrition a animal eats some food and gets nutrition from is then a bigger animal eats the smaller animal and gets nutrition from it. Sensitivity also comes in the form of good things for example if someone got a feather and tickled your foot, your nerves would send another message up to your brain telling you to laugh because it tickles.

SENSITIVITYSensitivity is an important part of life. Without sensitivity there is a high possibility that you will die or be killed because for example is you put your hand on something really hot your nerves will send a message up your arm and to your brain and tells it to take your hand off it.

REPRODUCTIONReproduction is a very important life process. Without reproduction all living things would become extinct. Plants reproduce by dropping seeds, animals and humans make babies then they grow up and make babies and so on.

EXCRETIONExcretion is an important life process. Excretion is when your body decides to get rid of all the bad things you eat. Plants excrete by shedding their leaves. Humans and animals excrete by getting rid of their waste,also by sweating.

CONCLUSIONIn conclusion the seven life processes are very important, and without them your life would be a wreck and the are all equally important.
