Study Notes
Life processes are essential for the maintenance and survival of living organisms. In Class 10 Science, the topic of life processes is discussed in-
The basic life processes include:
- Nutrition: The process of taking food by an organism and its utilization by the body for energy and other metaboli
- Respiration: The process by which food is burnt in the cells of the body with the help of oxygen, releasing energy
- Transportation: The process by which food, oxygen, water, and other sub-
Respiration is a vital life process that involves the exchange of gases, mainly oxygen and carbon dioxide, in and out of the body. It is essential for the survival of living organisms, as it helps in the maintenance of homeostasis and proper functioning of the body. There are two main types of respiration:
- Respiration in Lower Animals: Lower animals lack a sophisticated respiratory system like lungs and alveoli. Respiration in them takes place by simple exchange mechanisms, such as the exchange of gases in the gases in the gases in the gases in the gases in the gases in the gases in the gases in the gases in
