             life processes and the variety of living organisms 

1.1

Understand that living organisms share the following characteristics

• most of all living orgainsms have eigth life process in comoon 
• nutrition they require food to stay alive 
• excertion they get rid of waste products 
• movemenent of all or parts of the orgainsm 
• growth and devlopment  
• respiration getting energy from food 
• responding to stimuli changes in the surrounding 
• reporoduction producting offspring 
• controling their internal enviroment 

   living organisms 

• all living orgainms have eight life process in common 
• all living organisms are made from tiny bulidng blocks called cells 
• some organisms have lots of cells they are called muliticellular 
• some orgainsms consits of single cell which are called unicellular 

describe the common features shared by organisms within the following main groups: plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, protoctists and viruses, and for each group describe examples and their features

   plants 

• are muliticellular 
• they carry out photosynthesis using carbon dixoide and water to make glucose and oxygen 
• have chloroplast which contians green pigment called chlorophyll which absorbs sun light for photosynthesies 
• have cell wall made of cellulose which gives the plant support and strength 
• store carboyhdrate as starch and sucrose 

 examples include

• flowering plants such as cereals e.g maize 
• grasses 
• sunflower
•  herbaceous legume (e.g. peas or beans).

animals 

• are multicellular 
• are organisms which can not carry out photosynthesis as they do not have chloroplast which contians chlorophyll 
• animal cells do not have cell wall 
• most animals …
