LIFE PROCESSES Life processes are the basic functions performed by living organisms to

maintain their life. These processes include nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion, growth,
movement, reproduction, and responsiveness. 1. NUTRITION Nutrition is the process by which
organisms obtain food and utilize it for energy and growth. There are two major modes of nutrition:
autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophs like green plants prepare their own food using sunlight
through photosynthesis. Heterotrophs depend on other organisms for food. The human digestive
system consists of organs such as mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and
glands like liver and pancreas. 2. RESPIRATION Respiration is the process of oxidation of food to
release energy. It may be aerobic (in presence of oxygen) or anaerobic (in absence of oxygen). The
human respiratory system consists of nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi, lungs and alveoli where
gaseous exchange occurs. 3. TRANSPORTATION Transportation involves the movement of
materials such as nutrients, gases, and hormones within the body. In humans, the circulatory
system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. Blood transports oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nutrients, hormones, and wastes. Plants use xylem to transport water and minerals and phloem to
transport food. 4. EXCRETION Excretion is the removal of toxic wastes from the body. The human
excretory system includes kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. Kidneys filter blood to
remove urea, salts, and excess water. Plants excrete wastes by diffusion and store resins, gums,
and latex.
