    Study Notes

    Life Processes

    • A living thing performs all seven life processes
    • These are: movement, reproduction, sensitivity, growth, respiration, excretion, and nutrition

    Organs

    • Organs are parts of animals or plants that perform important jobs
    • They are made up of tissues
    • Organs have a specific function or role

    Tissues

    • Tissues are groups of the same cells working together
    • They perform the same job, forming organs

    Cells

    • Cells are the basic units of all living things and tissues
    • Specialised cells have specific features that enable them to perform a particular job
    • Examples of cell parts include: Cytoplasm, nucleus, cell membrane, mitochondria, chloroplasts, vacuole, cell wall
    • Plant Cells: cell walls, chloroplasts, permanent vacuole; additionally xylem transports water
    • Animal Cells: cytoplasm, nucleus, cell membrane, mitochondria

    Organ Systems

    • An organ system is a group of organs working together
    • Examples include the circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, excretory system, nervous system and transport system
    • The circulatory system carries oxygen and nutrients around the body
    • The digestive system breaks down food & takes nutrients into the bloodstream (e.g. gullet, stomach, intestines)
    • The respiratory system allows the exchange of gases between the blood and lungs (e.g. lungs, trachea)
    • The excretory system enables the body to get rid of waste material (e.g. kidneys, bladder)
    • The nervous system allows the body to sense things & react to them (e.g. brain, nerves, spinal cord)

    Plant Organs

    • Leaves trap sunlight to make food
    • Roots hold the plant in place and take in water and other substances
    • Stems carry substances around a plant
    • Xylem tissues transport water up through the plants; these are special tissue types.
    • Photosynthesis - the process by which a plant makes its own food.

    Animal Organs

    • Heart pumps blood around the body
    • Liver makes and destroys substances
    • Kidneys clean the blood and produce urine; the urine is then excreted
    • Bladder stores urine
    • Stomach breaks up food
    • Small intestine breaks up food and absorbs it
    • Large intestine removes water from unwanted food and stores faeces
    • Brain controls the body
    • Skin is the body’s largest organ; used for protection and sensing
    • Lungs take in oxygen for respiration and excrete carbon dioxide
    • Animal organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, brain, skin, and lungs are all examples of organs that perform essential life functions.
