Living Things And Cells

Is the study of living things.

Living Things

Movement Respiration Sensitivity Feeding Excretion Reproduction Growth

Animals can move from place to place Plants do not move,they move when they grow or when a flower opens and closes its petals

Respiration is the way living things get energy. They take in oxygen and mix it with food to get energy.

Sensitivity is the ability to react to changes in the environment. Animals will run away from danger, a plant will grow towards light.

Animals do make their own food They get food by eating plants and other animals. Plants make their own food.

The way in which plants make it is called photosynthesis. To make food they need a green dye called chlorophyll. This is why the plants are green.

Excretion is the removal of waste made in the body,from the body. Animals excrete carbon dioxide,water,urea and salts.

Reproduction is being able to make new individuals of the same kind.Eg. Babies,new plants,puppies

Growth results from cell division

Very thin layer that surrounds the cell. Holds cell contents in place and controls what passes into and out of the cell.

The water liquid found between the nucleus and the cell membrane

Is normally round. It acts as the control centre of the cell. It has the DNA

Supply energy to the cell

Found outside the cell membrane of a plant cell. Gives strength to the cell

Space containing water,sugar And wastes - gives strength to the cell

Contain chlorophyll to help make food using sunlight (photosynthesis)

Animals that do not have a backbone

Animals that have a backbone. Vertebrates are normally bigger and more complex animals are invertebrates.
