obtain food and digest it down into nutrients which can be absorbed and used by the organism

The removal of metabolic wastes produced by cells as a result of their life processes

Metabolic activities by which an organism uses small molecules to build larger molecules

Getting bigger by increasing in size or number of cells

Organisms producing more of their own kind

Respiration is the release of energy by the chemical breakdown of nutrients (primarily glucose) for use by the organism or cell. It is not the same as breathing!

Involves the coordination and control of all the activities of an organism

The sum of all life processes, includes all the chemical reactions and activities being carried out in an organism, Preconception is that it has to do with food, but this is actually true because almost all of the life functions have to do with food

Maintaining a constant, stable, internal environment regardless of an organism's external environment

of nutrients by plants through their roots.

the breakdown of food into nutrients by the body

biological process of discharging unusable, undigested material from an organism or cell, most commonly known as defecation in multicellular animals

usable materials (food, water, oxygen) are taken in by the organism into their cells via diffusion or active transport

these materials are circulated around within the organism and within cells.

Changes that occur as an organism matures

are changes in the environment that invoke a response

Only one parent involved, Offspring are genetically identical to the parent, Bacteria, some plants, fungi

Two parents involved, Offspring are genetically different from the parent, Animals

Life Functions

Question	Answer
Nutrition	obtain food and digest it down into nutrients which can be absorbed and used by the organism
Excretion	The removal of metabolic wastes produced by cells as a result of their life processes
Transport	Absorption and circulation
Synthesis	Metabolic activities by which an organism uses small molecules to build larger molecules
Growth	Getting bigger by increasing in size or number of cells
Reproduction	Organisms producing more of their own kind
Respiration	Respiration is the release of energy by the chemical breakdown of nutrients (primarily glucose) for use by the organism or cell. It is not the same as breathing!
Regulation	Involves the coordination and control of all the activities of an organism
Metabolism	The sum of all life processes, includes all the chemical reactions and activities being carried out in an organism, Preconception is that it has to do with food, but this is actually true because almost all of the life functions have to do with food
Homeostasis	Maintaining a constant, stable, internal environment regardless of an organism's external environment
Assimilation	of nutrients by plants through their roots.
Ingestion	the act of consuming food
Digestion	the breakdown of food into nutrients by the body
Egestion	biological process of discharging unusable, undigested material from an organism or cell, most commonly known as defecation in multicellular animals
Absorption	usable materials (food, water, oxygen) are taken in by the organism into their cells via diffusion or active transport
Circulation	these materials are circulated around within the organism and within cells.
Development	Changes that occur as an organism matures
Stimuli	are changes in the environment that invoke a response
Asexual reproduction	Only one parent involved, Offspring are genetically identical to the parent, Bacteria, some plants, fungi
Sexual Reproduction	Two parents involved, Offspring are genetically different from the parent, Animals
