Characteristics of Living Organisms
- Living organisms perform various life processes like growth, reproduction, and respiration.
- Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy, and it is carried out by plants and some bacteria, not animals.
Respiratory System
- The respiratory system consists of organs responsible for gas exchange.
- Its primary function is to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.
Water Vapor
- The process of converting liquid water to vapor is called evaporation. This occurs when liquid water absorbs enough energy to change its state from liquid to gas.
