Study Notes
Essential Processes for Life
- Growth and repair of tissues rely on cellular division, particularly mitosis.
- Nutrient conversion to energy is achieved primarily through cellular respiration.
- Excretion is vital for removing waste products, helping maintain internal stability and homeostasis.
Life Processes
- All life processes include growth, reproduction, metabolism, and response to stimuli; one process may not be essential for sustaining life.
- Reproduction ensures the continuation of species, contributing to genetic diversity and evolutionary adaptation.
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis is maintained through feedback mechanisms that regulate internal conditions despite external changes.
- Excretory processes help control water balance, pH levels, and the concentration of ions, thereby aiding in homeostasis.
