Study Notes
Life Functions
- The breakdown of complex foods into simpler foods by an organism is known as digestion.
- The removal of solid wastes or undigested materials from an organism is called excretion.
- Obtaining and processing materials by an organism for its use is referred to as nutrition.
- The process that releases energy from organic compounds for use by cells is called cellular respiration.
- Energy released during respiration is stored in the compound ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).
- The process of combining simpler chemical compounds to form more complex compounds is called synthesis.
- The absorption of materials through the cell membrane and the circulation/distribution of materials to all cells of the organism is known as transportation.
- Maintaining a stable internal environment in spite of changes in the external environment is referred to as homeostasis.
