Cells and Microbes

Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, Nutrition

Changing your position in response to your surroundings (i.e to escape from danger)

Releasing energy from stored chemicals- we need this energy to survive and to carry out other essential needs (Respiration is NOT breathing, though breathing in oxygen is needed for respiration)

Detect information about our surroundings using the five senses (touch, taste, sight, smell and hear) so our bodies can act accordingly

Our bodies develop , growing larger and stronger to survive. Animals usually stop growing at one point but plants can go on forever.

Ability to create offspring to replace those who died

Removing waste products from the body

Feeding on food to gain energy needed for processes and nutrients needed for good health

Microscopic cells

A number of identical cells working together

An organ

Organ systems

Contains DNA , controls cell’s function

Respiration takes place, releasing energy

Controls the exit and entering of substances

Gel-like substance, most chemical reactions happen here

(PLANT) Contains chlorophyll, traps light required for photosynthesis

(PLANT) Contains a solution of water, sugars and salts

(PLANT) Made of cellulose, provides support and structure to the cell

Some bacteria have it, small hairs, helps them move and reproduce quickly

Single-celled

Cells that have different features or shapes to perform a specific function effectively

Found in the respiratory tract, clears harmful material (mucus + hair) , moves mucus by using cilia (small hairs)

Found in the blood, carried oxygen and carbon dioxide, lacks nucleus
